Peacemaker: 10 Things You Need To Know About The Suicide Squad TV Series

10. James Gunn Is Writing And Directing (Some Of) The TV Show

When Disney decided to fire James Gunn as the director of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 due to some old, offensive Tweets (they were bad jokes at the time, but considered unacceptable by today's standards), Warner Bros. wasted no time in hiring him to write and direct The Suicide Squad.

Post-production work is now taking place, and Gunn was re-hired by Disney and Marvel Studios when it became clear that they had acted rashly.

However, with time on his hands before work on Vol. 3 begins, Gunn will write every single episode of Peacemaker, while also directing "several" of them according to the press release. Among them will be premiere, so it will clearly be down to the filmmaker to set the tone for what follows. That's a big commitment, but one he's anticipating squeezing in when filming starts early next year.

There's really no one better than Gunn to expand the world he's creating with The Suicide Squad, and as he explained on Twitter, "I'm always driven by what excites me most creatively in the moment."
