As Peacemaker returns to HBO Max for Season 2, one of the ’11th Street Kids’ is worried about attracting the wrong audience.
Freddie Stroma, who plays Vigilante/Adrian Chase, admitted he’s nervous about young Superman fans being introduced to the mature superhero series now that’s part of James Gunn‘s new DCU.
“It’s weird because it’s a new universe, but it doesn’t really affect us as much,” he told Discussing Film. “I keep thinking about the fact that Superman has come out, and then, if younger viewers are going to come in and see that first episode, I don’t know what they’re going to think.”
Stroma continued, “So, I keep thinking about that with the universe change. I guess that’s just part of it. For us, it’s kind of business as usual. We’re the Peacemaker lot and we do pretty R-rated stuff.”
Superman had its North American digital release on Aug. 15, as Gunn explained he “wanted everyone to be able to see Superman that wanted to, even those people who couldn’t get to a theater before Peacemaker,” which returns Friday to HBO Max.

Serving as a precursor for the events of Peacemaker Season 2, Superman supporting characters Green Lantern/Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion), Hawkgirl/Kendra Saunders (Isabela Merced) and Maxwell Lord (Sean Gunn) appeared in a teaser for upcoming episodes.
After taking over DC Studios with Safran in 2022, Superman marks the first entry in Gunn’s new DCU franchise, which begins with the ‘Gods and Monsters’ phase.
