The next comprises spoilers for “Peacemaker” season 2.
Every of the characters within the eleventh Avenue Youngsters on “Peacemaker” has their specialties, however retaining 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 “top-of-the-line issues James Gunn has ever performed,” the gang goes by means of Peacemaker’s (John Cena) dimensional portal and leads to the alternate universe he is been dwelling in, which seems to be one the place Nazis gained World Warfare II. Virtually 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 every little thing.
Fortunately the actor who performs John Economos is not almost as fast to share secrets and techniques, as he isn’t solely starred in a number of main James Gunn comedian e-book productions, however in an interview with Males’s Journal he revealed that he was additionally at Gunn’s residence when the author, director, and producer discovered that he was truly within the working to be co-CEO of DC Studios. That is a reasonably huge secret to maintain, however Agee is not very like his onscreen alter-ego past primary appearances and an appreciation for season 2 theme music rockers Cunning 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 dangerous about spilling secrets and techniques like his dye-bearded alter-ego, Agee defined that he was sort of a secret king, truly. “In my job, particularly on this world of comedian books and superheroes, secrecy is so key,” he stated. “You do not wish to spoil something, and there are individuals who by chance spoil stuff. I by no means wish to be the particular person 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 not inform anyone this.’ So, I sat on that for months and months and months. I am actually good at retaining secrets and techniques.”
Agee does need to be fairly good at retaining secrets and techniques, since he isn’t solely performed John Economos in “The Suicide Squad” and “Peacemaker,” however he was the physique performer for King Shark in “The Suicide Squad” as effectively, and he appears to be one of many first to seek out out what’s occurring on the earth of Gunn. Since Gunn has a behavior of hiring the identical actors many times, I am guessing they’re all fairly good at retaining secrets and techniques … even Nathan Fillion, in some way.
Season 2 of “Peacemaker” is accessible to stream on HBO Max.
