Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The opening credits dance sequence was shot in one day with the entire cast learning choreography between takes. Gunn refused to cut it despite HBO's concerns about runtime.
Peacemaker's '80s action hero persona deliberately mirrors the toxic masculinity of the era's blockbusters—Gunn uses the aesthetic to critique what it once celebrated without irony.

The fact that this is in the same universe as General Zod and Doomsday attacking Metropolis and a kid who magically became a superhero, I love how diverse DC is whether it's trying to be dark or lighthearted, it's always depends on the characters
