Michael Rooker’s role in Peacemaker Season 2 revealed, plus Gunn teases a new opening dance number. Let’s start with Rooker, a long time James Gunn favourite and the actor is revealed to be playing an unusual role. He’s a renowned Eagle Hunter and he’s after Eagly! (Shocked Pikachu face)
“His name is Red St. Wild, and he’s the world’s foremost eagle hunter who is on a mission to kill Eagly,”Gunn reveals to EW. “We thought Eagly was probably the most popular character from season 1, and so in season 2, he has his own story with his nemesis, played by none other than the despicable Michael Rooker.”

Gunn also revealed some information about another new character, ARGUS agent Langston Fleury played by Tim Meadows.
“In a lot of ways, Peacemaker has changed a lot this season. He’s a much softer guy, he’s a much nicer guy, he’s less in your face and less obnoxious and less aggressive. He has changed as a human being, so Langston Fleury actually takes up a lot of being a total asshole in the same way Peacemaker was [last season]. He’s a very politically incorrect asshole throughout most of the season, and also an incredibly funny guy.”

Additionally Gunn talks to EW about having a new dance sequence for opening titles in Season 2.
“I’ll give you an exclusive: You get to see Eagly try to dance for the first time. So that’s really something. He is not the best at it, but he tries to really join in the dance sequence at the end. He’s got a little pose this time.”
“We killed everyone in the season, so we kind of had to. Everyone died! Also, we have a lot of new cast members — Tim Meadows is Langston Fleury, Sol Rodriguez is Sasha Bordeaux, and Michael Rooker’s in the cast, Judomaster is a bigger character this time — so I knew that I needed to do a new dance.”
“I think there’s 4 billion views of the dance sequence on TikTok, so when you have something that’s that viral, I just wanted to do a good job with the [new] dance sequence. I don’t know if the dance sequence ever is going to one-up the first, because no one expected it. It was a complete surprise, and you just can’t replicate that. However, the surprises within the show itself, I think, replicate that many times over, because there’s so many more twists and turns in this season with what happens and what you find out about this universe.”
