James Gunn shuts down ‘Peacemaker’ rewrite talk post-Superman cameo

James Gunn’s Superman cameo in Peacemaker Season 2 has made fans go wild, with the expectation that the director might change the original script.

However, the DC Studios co-head has shut down talk about Peacemaker retcon rumours in his new DCU.

After the season premiere The Ties That Grind, DC Studios chief James Gunn made it clear he won’t be rewriting Season 1, even though the finale’s DCEU characters have since been swapped out for Isabela Merced’s Hawkgirl and Nathan Fillion’s Green Lantern.

“No, unfortunately I’d have to change too many little things throughout Season 1, and it would cost too much money,” Gunn told TV Insider. “And I’d rather just give that money to a few more CGI shots of superheroes.”

The director added that he believes, “we deal with it. We say canon is really Creature Commandos, Superman, Peacemaker Season 2. I’d love for people to watch Season 1. Obviously, we’re changing that one thing, but we’re not gonna go back and reshoot all of it for Season 1, at least not at this point.”

However, Gunn admitted that at some point, he would want to “George Lucas the s*** out of it,” but he lacks the money at the moment.
