The next comprises spoilers for “Peacemaker” season 2.
Every of the characters within the eleventh Avenue Children on “Peacemaker” has their specialties, however maintaining secrets and techniques is certainly not one for super-hacker John Economos (Steve Agee). In episode 6 of the second season, which /Movie’s Invoice Bria calls “one of the best things James Gunn has ever done,” the gang goes by Peacemaker’s (John Cena) dimensional portal and results in the alternate universe he is been residing in, which seems to be one the place Nazis gained World Battle II. Nearly instantly upon being found by Earth X’s Auggie Smith (Robert Patrick), Economos begins spilling his beans, telling the alternate universe model of Peacemaker’s evil lifeless dad mainly all the pieces.
Fortunately the actor who performs John Economos is not practically as fast to share secrets and techniques, as he is not solely starred in a number of main James Gunn comedian ebook productions, however in an interview with Men’s Journal he revealed that he was additionally at Gunn’s house when the author, director, and producer came upon that he was really within the working to be co-CEO of DC Studios. That is a reasonably large secret to maintain, however Agee is not very similar to his onscreen alter-ego past fundamental appearances and an appreciation for season 2 theme song rockers Foxy Shazam, so Gunn was within the clear.
Steve Agee knew James Gunn was doubtlessly going to be DC Studios co-CEO
When requested by Males’s Journal if he was unhealthy about spilling secrets and techniques like his dye-bearded alter-ego, Agee defined that he was sort of a secret king, really. “In my job, particularly on this world of comedian books and superheroes, secrecy is so key,” he mentioned. “You do not wish to spoil something, and there are individuals who unintentionally spoil stuff. I by no means wish to be the individual to spoil stuff for anyone.” He continued:
“Earlier than it occurred, I used to be one of many few people who knew James [Gunn] was up for co-head of the DCU a part of Warner Bros. I used to be at his home, and he was like: ‘I wish to let you know one thing, however I swear to God, man, you can’t inform anyone this.’ So, I sat on that for months and months and months. I am actually good at maintaining secrets and techniques.”
Agee does need to be fairly good at maintaining secrets and techniques, since he is not solely performed John Economos in “The Suicide Squad” and “Peacemaker,” however he was the body performer for King Shark in “The Suicide Squad” as effectively, and he appears to be one of many first to search out out what’s occurring on the planet of Gunn. Since Gunn has a behavior of hiring the same actors again and again, I am guessing they’re all fairly good at maintaining secrets and techniques … even Nathan Fillion, in some way.
Season 2 of “Peacemaker” is out there to stream on HBO Max.
