In honor of the fourth episode of Peacemaker, “The Choad Less Traveled,” hitting HBO Max this week, James Gunn and some of the show’s cast took to Twitter last night for a watch party. Over the course of the episode, Gunn spent some time talking about Freddie Stroma, who plays Adrian Chase, the sociopathic costumed killer known as Vigilante. Gunn revealed that he asked Elizabeth Banks to verify whether or not Stroma was an “as*hole” before agreeing to cast him. He also shared a hilarious story about John Cena, who plays the titular role, having no idea Stroma was British the entire time they were filming. Gunn also called Stroma “magic” as well as “a great dude,” and explained why the character Vigilante is similar to The Office’s Michael Scott (Steve Carrell).
I think of Vigilante as a little bit like Steve Carell in the Office. Such a dingus in so many ways but surprisingly good at his job in many moments. #Peacemaker #PeacemakerParty https://t.co/DvjzVVQGPB
