Peacemaker Actor Compares James Gunn To James Cameron
Warning: the following contains SPOILERS for Peacemaker.
Peacemaker actor Robert Patrick compares writer and director James Gunn to James Cameron. Best known for his work on Marvel Studios’ Guardians of the Galaxy franchise, Gunn made his first foray into the DCEU with last year’s The Suicide Squad. HBO Max’s spin-off series, Peacemaker, sees John Cena’s Christopher Smith/Peacemaker work with Amanda Waller’s (Viola Davis) A.R.G.U.S. as they combat more aliens via Operation: Butterfly. The series’ cast includes Cena, Jennifer Holland, Emilia Holland, Danielle Brooks, Freddie Stoma, Nhut Le, Chukwudi Iwuji, and Robert Patrick as Peacemaker’s bigoted father, August Ransom «Auggie» Smith, also known as the supervillain White Dragon.
While Peacemaker’s dad may not be the series' main, alien antagonist, as the leader of a white supremacist organization, he's still an all-around terrible person—who's responsible for most of his son’s issues. Peacemaker’s most recent episode, “Stop Dragon My Heart Around,” sees its anti-hero forced to kill his father, putting an end to Patrick’s villainous tenure in the DCEU. Peacemaker isn't the first time the actor played a very unpleasant character. Patrick famously embodied a shape-shifting android assassin, the T-100, in Cameron’s Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991).
