James Gunn Says Vigilante Will Return Before PEACEMAKER 2, Reveals CREATURE COMMANDOS Time Period

If you're jonesing for more of Peacmaker's Vigilante then you may be in luck. Also, it seems Creature Commandos won't be set during the expected time period.

James Gunn continues to drop tidbits about his plans for the revamp of the DC Studios cinematic universe, post-Snyderverse.  

A fan recently asked the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 director if viewers would have to wait until Peacemaker season 2 before seeing more of Freddie Stroma's Vigilante. Gunn replied, "Probably before Peacemaker 2."

Originally, Chris Conrad was originally cast as Vigilante, but he departed the show after filming five episodes. Stroma was brought in to replace Conrad, and he filmed the remaining episodes of the season.   

Stroma's performance as Vigilante was praised by critics and audiences alike. He was able to capture the character's dark humor and his unhinged nature. He also had great chemistry with John Cena, who played Peacemaker. 

Elsewhere, Gunn was also asked about the time period that Creature Commandos would take place in and revealed that the series would be set in modern day.

That's somewhat unexpected as the comic book origin for the supernatural army squad has them forming a team during World War II.

Creature Commandos will actually be the first project released in the DCU's Chapter One: Gods and Monsters.

The animated series will hit Max in 2024 and stars David Harbour as Eric Frankenstein/Frankenstein's Monster, Indira Varma as The Bride, Zoe Chao as Dr. Nina Mazursky, Alan Tudyk as Dr. Phosphorus, Sean Gunn as Weasel and G.I. Robot, and Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr. Gunn has previously indicated that the voice actors are all expected to reprise their roles in any live-action appearance.

Given the fact that Gunn has revealed that Vigilante will return before Peacmaker season 2 and that Creature Commandos will be set in modern day, perhaps we'll see the unhinged crimefighter make his Gods and Monsters debut here?

REBOOT THE WHOLE THING!!!

People need a full reset, not for Gunn to pick and choose what he wants to use and recast because fans of the DCEU will be upset that he didn't just continue with Cavill and Affleck.

For people that think there is a stink from the last regime, this just adds more confusion as to what is cannon and what isnt. CLEAR THE DECKS. START ANEW.

@SafeSpace - I think you're right, but this is certainly not a "total" reboot.

Gunn is leaving remenants of the old DCEU, which is a mistake imo.
Other than his Superman movie, I have a feeling we'll never see half of these planned projects. WB is still a cluster[frick] I don't see Gunn as the guy who's gonna whip this back into shape.

@Feralwookiee -

No kidding.

And I cringe to think what awfulness may be coming our way in Brave & Bold.

And surely they won't really bring back MooseSh!tty after the Flash fiasco will they?

@DocSpock - Gunn says that's his guy for Brave and Bold. Remember, he said The Flash was ONE OF THE BEST SUPERHERO MOVIES EVER.

Yeah, WB/DC is still screwed. 🤣

@DocSpock - Flash is great. I don't put the shit cgi on him because that's a problem plaguing the cbm genre.

@kazuma -

??

I agree that the character the Flash is great.

The Ezra Miller casting & acting was horrible. The Flash movie was crap.

Vigilante’s chat/fight with the white supremacist prisoners was probably one of my favorite TV moments from last year. I’m having a bit of trouble imagining him show up in a less goofy show though. Vigilante is basically Deadpool-meets-Napoleon Dynamite.

Vigilante was the surprise standout for me. Dude is hilarious from his physical comedy alone.

Glad to hear it. Loved how Vigilante purposely got himself locked up and took down the prison gang.

Vigilante is the reason I watched Peacemaker to begin with so I’ll catch wherever he is next
