Exclusive: The Peacemaker and Suicide Squad director reveals he has a whole lot of footage sitting on the cutting room floor.
Gunn spoke to Total Film as Peacemaker has finally arrived on UK screens and is available on the streaming service NOW. Peacemaker has been greenlit for a second season – while we wait, check out how to watch DC movies in order to get up to speed on the DCEU. James Gunn managed to pull off the seemingly impossible in Peacemaker – the director managed to get (most of) the Justice League together on screen for a cameo. Her first collection of poetry, "FINAL GIRL," sold out of print. "I don't know if the Justice League is going to show up in every season of Peacemaker; that might be a one-time thing. "I think everybody read it in the script, agreed to it, and then it became [a thing], and they realized what a big fucking deal it was." Towards the finale moments of episode 8, John Cena's Peacemaker saves the day – only for Superman, the Flash, Aquaman, and Wonder Woman to show up late.
We review James Gunn's small screen spin-off to The Suicide Squad with Peacemaker...
In terms of its writer’s oeuvre, Peacemaker really is Top Gunn. The Suicide Squad’s Peacemaker was a single-joke caricature in a movie stuffed with characters demanding their time in the sun. Like David Brent, Peacemaker is a well-meaning dickhead.
Warning: There are spoilers ahead for Peacemaker's first season finale! Given how loose the continuity of the DCEU is these days, it's still a surprise that ...
I don’t know if the Justice League is going to show up in every season of Peacemaker; that might be a one-time thing. But when they did make an appearance, it made the finale that much better (though Gunn had to fight to make it a reality). Speaking with Total Film (via GamesRadar+), Gunn claimed that he shot some additional footage of Arthur and Barry Allen’s discussion.
Peacemaker spoilers follow. When it comes to representation in comic book movies and TV shows, queer people have historically been given crumbs.
That's why bi representation is so important, and that's why it's even more important that it's done in the right way. A 2017 study carried out by Stonewall and YouGov found that only 20% of bisexual people surveyed were out to all their family, compared to 63% of gay and lesbian people. Leota herself is a lesbian, but Chris is "Open to anything sexually," as Gunn puts it to Empire. And when bi people have it as hard as we do, that isn't good enough. But it isn't revealed in the same way that Adebayo's lesbian relationship is revealed (ie in a matter-of-fact way that makes no fuss, or being actually developed as the show goes on). DC hasn't exactly been amazing for representation either: 2020's Birds of Prey confirmed protagonist Harley Quinn as bisexual, and the animated Harley series is basically dedicated to exploring Harley's romance with Poison Ivy, but the company lost a lot of goodwill with The Batman earlier this month, which both refused to verbally confirm Selina Kyle as bisexual, and played itself into an unfortunate "bury your gays" trope.
James Gunn confirms that future seasons of Peacemaker won't have so long a wait for UK fans.

I’ve really, really wanted Peacemaker to be there since the beginning. I had hoped it was going to air simultaneous to when it was airing in the United States. That unfortunately didn’t work out, and it’s nobody’s real fault. “I’m frustrated by the whole journey,” Gunn told RadioTimes.com. “Listen, I have a lot of fans in the UK. DC has a lot of fans in the UK. And plus, I have a lot of cousins in Ireland, so they haven’t been able to see the show.
James Gunn's superhero spin-off from his 2021 film The Suicide Squad is a rude and raucous riff on the comic book formula.

John Cena said when the series was announced: “I have said before that it has been a tremendous honour and an incredible opportunity to be part of The Suicide Squad and to work with James on what is going to be a fantastic movie. The series was created by James Gunn, the original writer of the 2021 Suicide Squad movie, and picks up from where the film left off.
On the show, though, White Dragon is Peacemaker's father, Auggie Smith, who. A fun cameo scene connected Peacemaker to the wider DC Universe when some of the ...
“It was done through pure force of will on my part, or really pushing it to happen,” Gunn says of the scene. Peacemaker then tells Aquaman to, uh, go back to the fishes which Aquaman angrily says is just a rumor. While this included Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and The Flash, only Jason Momoa and Ezra Miller actually appeared in person.

They started off by talking about where the Season 1 finale leaves Peacemaker, along with his relationships with Emilia Harcourt (Jennifer Holland), other members of the team, and his own villainous father played by Robert Patrick. "I know where it goes emotionally and we're figuring out the plot stuff," Gunn teased about Season 2. Vagg released a snippet of their discussion, where Gunn ended the conversation by referencing the possibility of a third DC project in development. "Watch all episodes of Season 1 of #Peacemaker NOW in the UK/Ireland on @skytv & @now! (Or watch it again in the States & around the world on @hbomax & other fine streaming services)," Gunn tweeted. The HBO Max original series Peacemaker is finally available in the UK, and creator James Gunn is celebrating its arrival with new behind-the-scenes photos from the set. The shot is also cringe-worthy, as Peacemaker's shield rests in the ground after impaling an attacker. It was really funny."
Still no word on when production will begin on the show's sophomore outing. By Josh Weiss. Peacemaker Justice League.
But other other shows that may not be writing and directing or not directing all the episodes." Once he's finished with that and the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, Gunn will temporarily put moviemaking on the back burner. I don't know if the Justice League is going to show up in every season of Peacemaker; that might be a one-time thing.
