I keep seeing posts with this untrue theory. We're not recasting everyone except The Suicide Squad.

I can deal with most of this, but if Cena doesn't come back for another season of Peacemaker, than I'll lose my shite. I need more Eagly.

Time will tell, but we already know The Rock and Cavill are out, The Flash is gone. WW is scrapped(with no firm commitment to Gadot), tons of bad blood with Ray Fisher and his allegations toward WB. Really the only one on that list that would be a shock is the one we've talked about which is Levi. But his latest film seems to be in development hell and they keep bumping and recutting it.

So no Peacemaker Season 2? If that happens, I will never watch another DC movie again. Well, actually, I may never watch another DC movie again because they suck, and I am sick of superhero movies. But Peacemaker was the exception to the dreck.


Huh?

If this rumor is correct it all but guarantees not just Peacemaker Season 2 but a safe role for Cena in the universe.

Cena, his wife(who played Emilia Harcourt in season 1), Viola Davis are all sticking around.


My bad. Just reread the headline, which is written poorly. We don't need Viola. What does she play anyway?

Amanda Waller, who is basically a more morally grey version of Nick Fury for DC/Gunn in The Suicide Squad/Peacemaker.

Would also be weird to do a season 2 without her considering one of the big final act moments is her daughter outing her and Task Force X(Suicide Squad group) to the world. Setting Waller and Task Force X up as more direct antagonists. As opposed to just powerful and sketchy behind the scenes puppet masters.

This kind of shite is stupid. Actors playing multiple roles of different and established characters in the same universe.

I mean if so, it will just be a continuation of what has happened with the DCEU since it's inception.

I just want a new Peacemaker and Suicide Squad, if the rest sucks I honestly won't lose much sleep.

DC is already a mess. Did you see Black Adam? WW2? Flash is months away and already a disaster. They have maybe 1 good movie out of every 4-5, and even that requires grading on a curve (Wonder Woman 1 had a stupid villain and final showdown, Matt Reeves Batman was way too long and had its own messy finale). Burn it down!

That's 30 minutes longer than I got through 90% of the DCEU films...So Gunn is already a big step up

It could be that Gunn and company want to start fresh with a younger group of actors. If they want to try to emulate the early MCU success that would make sense. You'd want actors who could still be playing the roles 10 or more years down the line if you anticipate a storyline unfolding over time.

I like Gunn, so I may just Be soured by him fricking Witcher and not even keeping Cavill.

But idk. I like His Suicide Squad, but not like “build the universe around this” likes it.

Ok, I remember her from Suicide Squad. So Peacemaker and company vs. Task Force X in Season 2? Hope the come up w/ a better villain. I thought they should have kept the task force leader butterfly guy. Also, bring back Polka Dot Man!

Where has it been confirmed Rock is out? And the Cavill point is slightly misleading. That isn’t exactly what Gunn said

That one shocks me a bit if it holds true. Shazam and Levi both feel very Gunn-ish and would be easy to transition in whatever direction they wanted to go.


Shazam has a small shelf life. Billy would be 25 by the next film. It doesn’t work after that.

My favorite DCEU film besides TSS, though. Saw it twice in theaters.
