Peacemaker season 2, the follow-up to the now not-canon season 1 of the critically acclaimed series is currently shooting in Atlanta through Fall of this year. After fans had noticed that David Denman was following cast members of the series, @DCUleaks hinted it could be for Peacemaker on X (formerly known as Twitter). Last month, it was revealed that Denman had joined the cast as a mystery character along with Sol Rodriguez, who will be portraying Sasha Bordeaux. According to our sources, some unveiled casting descriptions reveal some details on Denman’s characters.
Denman is set to play “Larry”, who’s described as being a big tough guy with an equally big heart and a true best friend. The role is part of the main cast. In addition to “Larry”, another role is being cast. A guest star role for “Red St. Wild” is being cast at the moment. They are looking for men of all ethnicities between 30-65. The character is bearded, an outdoorsman, and a hunter with a fondness for prey. It is currently unknown whether these are codenames or the characters’ actual names.
It’s very likely these two characters could have been created for the season, but with the use of codenames, there is a possibility that they are characters from the comics. The description for the role of “Larry” sounds as if it can be an old friend of Peacemaker’s or possibly his neighbor. Due to the limited information available in the casting description, the possibilities of what character this could be are plentiful.
Similarly, “Red St. Wild” can be either an original character or a comic character. Please note the following is just speculation, but an obscure character that shares similarity with “Red” is Adam Orion aka The Hunter. Although this obscure redheaded character exists in the Legion of Super-Heroes continuity, given James Gunn’s penchant for lesser-known characters, The Hunter is a contender for who the role could be.
Peacemaker season 2 is currently shooting in Atlanta until Fall 2024. Plot details are under wraps, but the cast of the first season will return. Given Frank Grillo’s involvement in the show, it’s likely his Rick Flag Sr.will face off against Peacemaker.
