James Gunn Talks, Has ‘Authority’ Update"},"content":{"rendered":"

\n\tAfter that pivotal episode 6 of HBO Max\/DC\u2019s Peacemaker<\/a> which bridged the series to the next Superman movie, Man of Tomorrow, we caught up with James Gunn<\/a> on the future of vigilante Christopher Smith. <\/p>\n

\n\tEssentially, in the short term, there\u2019s not a season 3 of Peacemaker. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cYou\u2019re gonna find out more in episode 8 because it\u2019s not necessarily that,\u201d responded Gunn to our query about another season of Peacemaker. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSome of these characters will continue, but also, it\u2019s not exactly Peacemaker 3. I\u2019m not ruling it out. You\u2019ll see (episode) 8 and maybe you\u2019ll find out a little bit more.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFor quite some time, Gunn was planning a Peacemaker spinoff based on Viola Davis\u2019 Suicide Squad boss Amanda Waller<\/a>. Development on that series has been a slow-go. <\/a><\/p>\n

\n\tAlso since John Cena\u2019s Chris Smith killed his doppelganger in the other-verse, which we just learned is an Aryan utopia, could it be that his father Auggie (Robert Patrick) is actually alive? That it was an Auggie clone who Chris killed at the end of season one? And that the real Auggie has been living in the other-verse? <\/p>\n

\n\tGunn gave us a flat out \u201cNo\u201d to all three questions. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe series creator and director tells us \u201cWhatever Auggie is in this other world, he\u2019s kinder to his children, that is true. We\u2019ll find out more about Auggie next episode,\u201d in which he exclaims has \u201ca terrific performance by Robert Patrick.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBy the way that Rick Flag Sr. gets Lex Luther to a better jail scene was always part of Gunn\u2019s plan for Peacemaker season 2, even \u201cbefore the Nazi world was.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWhen I pitched to DCU what the basic stories were throughout the TV shows and movies, this was a part of that,\u201d says the Superman filmmaker about that specific scene. <\/p>\n

\n\tGunn says that when it came to Superman crossover characters in Peacemaker season 2, he shot those actors over a couple of Saturdays during the feature production. The scene with the new Justice League members from season 2, episode one was shot on one Saturday, while on a second Saturday he filmed Frank Grillo and Nicholas Hoult\u2019s prison scene, in addition to another Superman characters crossover we\u2019ll see in episode 8. <\/p>\n

\n\tWe also asked Gunn for an update on The Authority<\/a> movie. At the DC press conference back in February, he mentioned that the antiheroes IP was the hardest one to crack given how other DC projects, including Superman, stepped on Authority\u2018s toes.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201c(It\u2019s) the one that got messed with through all of the other things that were happening. The script had a harder time coming along,\u201d Gunn told the room at the time. <\/p>\n

\n\tGunn tells Deadline, that The Authority is not kaput. \u201cThere\u2019s someone who is a really good creator who talked to me the other day,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

\n\tSo, that means series, right? \u201cWho knows,\u201d answered Gunn, \u201cI\u2019m probably not going to do certain movies with characters who (audiences) don\u2019t know; it\u2019s harder to get people in the theater for that kind of thing.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tThe Authority was created after StormWatch, a planetary defense force against aliens, was destroyed. The former member of that group, Jenny Sparks, created the Authority with her StormWatch Black teammates Swift and Jack Hawksmoor. The team includes The Engineer (Angela Spica), Jeroen Thornedike\u00a0(the latest Doctor),\u00a0Apollo\u00a0and\u00a0Midnighter. They\u2019re known as a group of antiheroes who take matters into their own hands, despite what the world\u2019s governments advise. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After that pivotal episode 6 of HBO Max\/DC\u2019s Peacemaker which bridged the series to the next Superman movie,…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":259803,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[136255,171,956,58723,136256,173,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-259802","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-amanda-waller","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-james-gunn","11":"tag-peacemaker","12":"tag-the-authority","13":"tag-tv","14":"tag-united-states","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115278643504928487","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/259802","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=259802"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/259802\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/259803"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=259802"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=259802"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=259802"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
