PEACEMAKER Season 2: First Look at Michael Rooker’s Wild New Character Revealed

Michael Rooker is back in James Gunn’s DC playground, but this time, he’s taking on an entirely new character in Peacemaker Season 2, and Eagly might want to start watching his back.Rooker, a regular in Gunn’s cinematic universe from Guardians of the Galaxy to The Suicide Squad to voicing a role in Creature Commandos, was expected to appear in Peacemaker eventually. What we didn’t expect? That he’d be cast as Eagly’s nemesis… Red St. Wild, and we have a first look at the character. Gunn shared with Entertainment Weekly:“His name is Red St. Wild, and he's the world's foremost eagle hunter who is on a mission to kill Eagly. 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.”Rooker looks awesome in the role as a rugged, heavily costumed character who definitely gives off “professional eagle hunter” vibes.Also joining the cast is Tim Meadows as Langston Fleury, a new A.R.G.U.S. agent who's apparently filling the show’s “jerk quota” now that Peacemaker himself has mellowed out a bit. Gunn said of the character:“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.”With Eagly getting a full-blown arch-nemesis and Meadows stepping in as a new chaos agent, Peacemaker Season 2 is shaping up to be just as off-the-wall, if not more, than the first. Check out the stills from the new season at the links below, and prepare yourself… the eagle war is coming.Peacemaker Season 2 premieres Thursday, August 21st on Max.

PEACEMAKER Season 2: First Look at Michael Rooker’s Wild New Character Revealed

Michael Rooker is back in James Gunn’s DC playground, but this time, he’s taking on an entirely new character in Peacemaker Season 2, and Eagly might want to start watching his back.

Rooker, a regular in Gunn’s cinematic universe from Guardians of the Galaxy to The Suicide Squad to voicing a role in Creature Commandos, was expected to appear in Peacemaker eventually. What we didn’t expect? That he’d be cast as Eagly’s nemesis… Red St. Wild, and we have a first look at the character.

Gunn shared with Entertainment Weekly:

“His name is Red St. Wild, and he's the world's foremost eagle hunter who is on a mission to kill Eagly. 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.”

Rooker looks awesome in the role as a rugged, heavily costumed character who definitely gives off “professional eagle hunter” vibes.

Also joining the cast is Tim Meadows as Langston Fleury, a new A.R.G.U.S. agent who's apparently filling the show’s “jerk quota” now that Peacemaker himself has mellowed out a bit. Gunn said of the character:

“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's a very politically incorrect asshole throughout most of the season, and also an incredibly funny guy.”

With Eagly getting a full-blown arch-nemesis and Meadows stepping in as a new chaos agent, Peacemaker Season 2 is shaping up to be just as off-the-wall, if not more, than the first.
