Peacemaker creator James Gunn has shared a video from a recent wedding reception that included a Bollywood performance that incorporated the DC Universe show's opening dance number into its routine.
One of the performers shared the Bollywood-infused Peacemaker dance intro on Twitter, which Gunn subsequently retweeted. The routine begins with a faithful recreation of the HBO show's opening dance number to "Do Ya Wanna Taste It" by Wig Wam before transforming into a wild Bollywood performance that continues to include subtle nods to the Peacemaker dance. This isn't the first time that fans have paid tribute to the dance number, with Gunn previously sharing an impressive video of the FBS Dance Squad performing it at the University of Dhaka in Bangladesh.
Peacemaker is a spinoff of Gunn's 2021 film The Suicide Squad. The series premiered in January 2022 on HBO Max and stars John Cena, reprising his role from The Suicide Squad as Christopher Smith/Peacemaker. The eight-episode first season of the HBO Max series picks up after the events of The Suicide Squad and follows Peacemaker on a mission with the A.R.G.U.S. black ops squad Project Butterfly to identify and eliminate parasitic butterfly-like creatures who have taken over human bodies around the world.
Peacemaker Season 2 Is on the Way
HBO Max renewed Peacemaker for a second season in February 2022, with Gunn set to write and direct all episodes. However, following Gunn's appointment as co-chair and co-CEO of DC Studios that November, development on Peacemaker Season 2 slowed, with Gunn stating in February 2023 that production has been postponed while he works on the upcoming DCU film Superman: Legacy. He also indicated that filming would not commence until after production on Waller, a Peacemaker spinoff series focusing on A.R.G.U.S. agent Amanda Waller (Viola Davis), was finished. Doom Patrol showrunner Jeremy Carver and Watchmen writer Christal Henry will head Waller.
DCU's Slate of Upcoming TV Series
Peacemaker Season 2 and Waller are two of the six upcoming DCU series currently in development at DC Studios. The remaining four are Paradise Lost, Creature Commandos, Lanterns and Booster Gold. The six projects will be part of Chapter 1 of Gunn's rebooted DCU, titled "Gods and Monsters." Although each DCU film and series are expected to tell a standalone story, Gunn has stated that the "characters are all interacting throughout the different stories," with one of the main characters in Creature Commandos confirmed to appear in Waller.
Peacemaker Season 1 is currently streaming on HBO Max.
