Introduction to Peacekeeper’s Concerns
As the second season of Peacekeeper returns to HBO Max, one of the 11th Street Kids is concerned about attracting the wrong audience. Freddie Stroma, who plays Vigilante/Adrian Chase, admitted that he is nervous about young Superhuman fans who have now been introduced to the ripe superhero, which is now part of James Gunn’s new DCU.
The Impact of the New DCU
Stroma expressed his concerns, stating that it’s strange to be part of a new universe, but it doesn’t affect them much. He mentioned that he always thinks about the fact that Superhuman has come out, and he’s unsure of what younger spectators will think when they see the first episode of Peacekeeper. The change in the universe is a concern for Stroma, but he believes that it’s just a part of the business.
The R-Rated Content of Peacekeeper
Stroma continued to explain that Peacekeeper is known for its R-rated content, and they will continue to do what they do best. The show’s mature themes and content may not be suitable for all audiences, especially younger viewers who may have been introduced to the characters through Superhuman.
The Release of Superhuman
Superhuman had its North American digital release on August 15th, and James Gunn stated that he wanted everyone to see the film who wanted to, even those who couldn’t get to a theater beforehand. The release of Superhuman coincided with the return of Peacekeeper to HBO Max, which may have introduced the show to a new and younger audience.
The Connection Between Superhuman and Peacekeeper
As a precursor to the events of Peacekeeper Season 2, Superhuman featured supporting characters Green Lantern/Guy Gardner, Hawkgirl/Kendra Saunders, and Maxwell Lord in the teaser for the upcoming consequences. The connection between the two shows is clear, and fans of Superhuman may be interested in watching Peacekeeper to see how the story unfolds.
The Future of the DCU
After taking over DC Studios in 2022, Superhuman marks the first entry in Gunn’s new DCU franchise, which begins with the phase of the ‘gods and monsters’. The future of the DCU is exciting, and fans can expect to see more interconnected storylines and characters in the upcoming seasons of Peacekeeper and other DCU shows.
