Buddy Murphy Releases New Vignette, James Gunn Shares Peacemaker Series Details | Fight Size
Here is your fight size update for Sunday, August 8, 2021.
– Speaking with Variety, The Suicide Squad writer/director James Gunn shared some details about the HBO Max series, Peacemaker, starring John Cena. Here is what he said:
“Well, through the story, you learn where Peacemaker came from. There’s a moment in the movie where Bloodsport talks about his father and what his father was like, and you cut to a shot of Peacemaker, and Peacemaker nods. That’s the seed of the entire “Peacemaker” series. So we get to see Peacemaker with his father, who’s played by Robert Patrick, where he came from, what he’s done, what that means to him, and where he’s going after all of this. Because he’s not an evil person, he’s just a bad guy. He seems sort of irredeemable in the film. But I think that there’s more to him. We didn’t get a chance to know him [in “The Suicide Squad”] in the way we get to know some of the other characters. And so that’s what the whole show is about. I needed eight episodes to do it, at least.”
