A fan asked how he could film Peacemaker when Superman was filming at the same time.
“It’s a Saturday. Pre-shoot,” Gunn replied.
Gunn also clarified that for Peacemaker Season 2, he would “be directing some of the episodes” like in Saturday’s shoot, “But there are three other great directors joining me for the season.”
HBO Max ordered a second season of Peacemaker ahead of the first season's finale after a strong debut on the streaming platform. The series follows the escapades of Peacemaker, a role Cena played in Gunn's 2021 film The Suicide Squad. Peacemaker is a vain man who believes in peace at all costs, no matter how many people he has to kill to achieve it.
The cast of the series includes Danielle Brooks, Jennifer Holland, Freddie Stroma, Chukwudi Iwuji, Steve Agee and Robert Patrick.
Gunn wrote all eight episodes of Peacemaker's first season and directed five, including the first. Gunn, Peter Safran and Matt Miller serve as executive producers of the series, with Cena as co-executive producer and Stacy Littlejohn as consulting producer.
Based on DC characters, Peacemaker is produced by Gunn's Troll Court Entertainment and The Safran Company in association with Warner Bros. Television.
