Deadline understands that HBO Max is developing a Peacemaker and Suicide Squad spinoff series featuring the supervillain with Davis in talks to star and exec produce. Watchmen writer Christal Henry will write and exec produce the potential series, which comes from Warner Bros. TV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco685 Posted May 4, 2022 Author Share Posted May 4, 2022 DC Developing Suicide Squad HBO Max Show Focused on Amanda Waller Quote The recent merger with Discovery has made the studio reevaluate its super-powered ventures, making changes where changes need to be made, and doubling down on things that are working. A couple of those names that have been working are The Suicide Squad, Peacemaker, and the various characters associated they those properties. The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker, both directed by James Gunn, breathed new life into the DCEU for many, offering up a violent, funny, and full-of-heart take on a group of characters that had flopped in their first outing with WB. Quote The DC project, which is reportedly being executive produced by James Gunn, is mostly shrouded in mystery, but it is said to be picking up where Peacemaker's finale left off when the character appeared in the The Suicide Squad spin-off. Rumor is this Amanda Waller series will be much more serious than Peacemaker or The Suicide Squad, being played like a straight drama rather than a comedy. The best part of this version of the character is she is a straight man. While everything and everyone else is zany and ridiculous, she is the one who sits there is a straight face. At least from what fans have seen so far, this version of Waller is best when playing off of the likes of Harley Quinn and Peacemaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
