Since its such early days, it’s kind of impossible to know what the likes of The Suicide Squad’s weapons expert Christopher Smith (John Cena), Leota Adebayo (Danielle Brooks), Adrian Chase (Freddie Stoma), and Emilia Harcourt (Jennifer Holland) will get up to in the new batch of episodes. Thanks to another of Gunn’s social media posts, fans are speculating as to whetherDC villain Mister Mxyzptlk might make an appearance, though.
That said, Gunn is shooting Peacemaker season 2 and upcoming DCU movieSuperman, starring Nicholas Hoult, Rachel Brosnahan, and David Corenswet, simultaneously, so there’s just as much chance the baddie will feature in that instead. “Yes, I’ve written all the episodes; but, no, in the interest of getting the show out there I won’t be able to direct them all (only some),” he said of Peacemaker and his commitment to juggling both projects, before revealing that season 2 will “take place after the events in Superman”.
Peacemaker airs onHBO Maxin the US and Sky Max and Now in the UK. For more, check out our guide to all of the upcoming titles inDCU Chapter One: Gods and Monsters.
