Frank Grillo is set to make his DC Universe debut in the upcoming animated series Creature Commandos as Rick Flag Sr., but he will also reprise the role in the upcoming Season 2.
James Gunn confirmed the news in a recent post on Threads, where he shared a batch of photos of the two together. In the post, Gunn said Grillo would appear “throughout Season 2 of Peacemaker,” and that his character would have some “unfinished business.” “Pleased to announce the great [Frank Grillo] will be reprising the role of Rick Flag, Sr — the role he’ll first play in animated form in Creature Commandos — throughout Season 2 of Peacemaker,” said Gunn. “Christopher Smith and Rick Sr have a little unfinished business to take care of.” A post shared by James Gunn (@jamesgunn) Peacemaker Season 1 starred John Cena as Peacemaker, Danielle Brooks as Leota Adebayo, Jennifer Holland as Emilia Harcourt, Freddie Stroma as Adrian Chase/Vigilante, Steve Agee as John Economos, Chukwudi Iwuji as Murn, Robert Patrick as Auggie Smith/White Dragon, and more.
It’s unclear which characters will return for the next installment, but Gunn previously teased that he’s planning to establish more DC connections into the next chapter following Ezra Miller and Jason Momoa’s surprise appearances during the Season 1 finale.
Based on the characters from DC, Peacemaker is written, directed, and created by Gunn. Executive producers are Gunn, Cena, Peter Safran, and Matt Miller.
It was produced by Troll Court Entertainment and The Safran Company in association with Warner Bros. Television. Season 1 is now available for streaming on Max.
