HBO Max series Peacemaker lit up the streaming entertainment world when it premiered in January 2022, bringing John Cena’s titular conflicted hero back after he made his debut in James Gunn’s action-comedy The Suicide Squad last year.
Steve Agee: I was super excited for a number of reasons, not the least of which was getting to work after 10 months or so of a pandemic and being isolated by myself out in the desert. I was staying in a cabin out in Joshua Tree when it all kicked off, so I was pretty isolated and lonely, but I was also excited to explore this character more over eight episodes and show more depth to John Economos and give him an actual arc.
I didn’t know it was going to be a thing. James called me in October 2020 and said, “We’re going to start shooting in January,” and that was all he told me. And then a month or two later, I got all the scripts, and I was reading the first script. After the cold open, it said, “Cut to opening dance scene.” I was like, “What the fuck is this?”Right? It’s so outside the genre for superhero, comic-book action stuff. I was like, “Okaaaaaaay.” But I fully trust James with anything.
Music is always such a big part of James Gunn’s projects. Is it as present on your side of things while making the show as it is on the audience side when we see the episode? I also had one of the worst asthma attacks of my life that night. I don’t know if it was the cold, dry air, and me having to repeatedly slug this guy with a pipe — but it was a lot for one night. It turned out so great, though.
