PEACEMAKER Character To Return In Upcoming DCEU Movie Confirms Director James Gunn

Peacemaker writer and director James Gunn has confirmed that at least one character from the HBO Max series will return in an upcoming DC Comics movie, but who will it be? Find out what we know here...

The Flash looks set to make some sweeping changes to the DC Extended Universe, but that doesn't mean we'll be saying goodbye to everyone. Peacemaker has added a lot of compelling new characters to this world while simultaneously fleshing out some of the individuals we met in The Suicide Squad last year.

Writer and director James Gunn has already dropped some big hints about a possible second season, but it sounds like we'll see at least one cast member elsewhere in the DCEU before then.

"It is part of the DCU, I mean they can use these characters...I mean one of these characters, which people have kind of figured out, one of these characters is used in a future big DC movie that's from here," he explained during a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter. "So we are connected to all of this...who knows what role these characters are going to play in the future?"

"I mean no one knew who the Guardians of the Galaxy were, and then all of a sudden they're massive players in [Avengers:] Infinity War and [Avengers:] Endgame," Gunn continued. "So who knows what's going to happen with Peacemaker in ten years, five years, or whatever."

We're not 100% sure who the filmmaker is referring to here, but the only character who comes to mind is Jennifer Holland's Harcourt. There were rumblings last year that she might appear in Black Adam given A.R.G.U.S.' rumoured involvement with the movie, so that does make the most sense right now. Whether the events of Peacemaker will be referenced in any way is hard to say.

We wouldn't say no to someone like Batgirl crossing paths with Vigilante in Gotham City, though...

All of James Gunn’s family would be working 9-5’s he if he didn’t become a filmmaker

@Vulture - Hahaha gotta respect him looking out for his people

rebellion - 1/18/2022, 6:09 AM

Lemme guess,its his gf?

GhostDog - 1/18/2022, 6:49 AM

Everybody right on the money. It’s his woman lol.

Nepotism is the secret weapon of DC against Marvel/Disney.

globaltravels - 1/18/2022, 7:48 AM

Which one is his girlfriend?

LeonNova - 1/18/2022, 8:26 AM

Big nepotism with his girlfriend and brother, but hey, I’m don’t really blame him. Fortunately Jennifer Holland is one of my favorite things in the show, so it’s cool.

ColdSlither - 1/18/2022, 9:16 AM

Jennifer Holland is pretty damn good. So nepotism or not, whatever.

BecauseICare - 1/18/2022, 9:53 AM

About the whole nepotism thing... at least she can act. At least she actually adds something to the show by being on it rather than just pretty set dressing. Not saying nepotism is right, but at least in this case it works.

Now as for who will show up in the greater DCU? It's gotta be Vigilante, right? He's WAY too good of a character to only pop up in the Peacemaker universe. I wouldn't mind seeing Adebayo (that's Danielle Brooks' character, right?) in other DCU projects, but it feels like she is tied to the Peacemaker universe and to Peacemaker himself. Probably will end up being his "handler" or something.

Speaking of the Peacemaker universe, there's gotta be a Season 2. It's WAY too good of a show to be a one and done. Just sayin'...

@BecauseICare - I'm terrified of him killing Vigilante. I feel he or Eagly have targets on their head atm.

TheOtherOn - 1/18/2022, 10:10 AM

If people are calling THIS nepotism, then I really hope they never ever try to watch Bollywood movies. That sh!tshow has been the epitomy of nepotism for many generations, not just one or two random cases but MULTIPLE GENERATIONS.

At least Jennifer Holland is talented and doing her job great. One of my fav character in the show.

TheHumanSpider2 - 1/18/2022, 10:16 AM

She is good, but the whole thing is starting to raise some eyebrowns...I understand his brother being in these proyects because he is actually pretty good doing the mokap thing, but his wife?

HulkisHoly - 1/18/2022, 1:39 PM

The show is reminding me of Gunn’s past work like Super and that’s not a good thing to me.
But that’s just my opinion.

McMurdo - 1/18/2022, 2:33 PM

Show is fantastic no two ways around it

ChimiFnChangas - 1/19/2022, 2:57 AM

Ahh yes, Jennifer Holland. I knew I recognised her from somewhere.

DemonTweeks - 1/24/2022, 9:29 AM

hire people you trust to do the jobs you have pride in. worked for him so far with his brother. to be fair,Harcourt has been a great character so far too so again its worked for Gunn.
go for it.
