Peacemaker Season 2 Will Bring Back Several Characters And Introduce A Few More
On his Instagram post,James Gunn tagged all the main members ofthePeacemakerseason 2 cast, including main star John Cena, Leota Adebayo actor Danielle Brooks, John Economos actor Steve Agee, and Emilia Harcourt actor Jennifer Holland. New members of the cast include Tim Meadows and Frank Grillo, the latter of which will make his DCU debut as Rick Flag Sr. in animated form in 2024’sCreature Commandos.The only notable absence in Gunn’s post is Vigilante actor Freddie Stroma, who doesn’t have an Instagram account.
Rather surprisingly, James Gunn tagged Robert Patrick, who played Auggie Smith a.k.a. White Dragon inPeacemakerseason 1. Auggie was a secondary antagonist throughout the first season until he confronted his son Chris, who found himself forced to kill him. After Auggie’s death, Peacemaker began hallucinating his father, who taunted himduringPeacemakerseason 1’s ending. Robert Patrick’s Auggie Smith will likely continue to pressure Chris Smith from beyond the grave inPeacemakerseason 2, strengthening the continuity between seasons 1 and 2.
James Gunn also tagged Nhut Le, who played Judo Master inPeacemakerseason 1, despite the character’s death. Judo Master will likely appear in flashbacks inPeacemakerseason 2.
Two actors joining thePeacemakercast are David Denman and Sol Rodriguez. While David Denman’s role is still under wraps, Sol Rodriguez is playingthe Catwoman-like character Sasha Bordeaux, who was originally introduced in DC Comics as Bruce Wayne’s bodyguard. Batman was namedropped inPeacemakerseason 1 back when its characters were considered part of the DCEU. Now officially part of the DCU,Peacemaker’s links and references to Batman could point to future solid connections betweenPeacemakerandThe Brave and the Bold.
