Some filming occurred the next month, taking place simultaneously with Superman at Trilith Studios in Atlanta, Georgia, ahead of principal photography which began in June and concluded in November.
The new company was expected to restructure DC Entertainment and Zaslav began searching for an equivalent to Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige to lead the new subsidiary.
[29] Gunn and producer Peter Safran were announced as the co-chairs and co-CEOs of the newly formed DC Studios at the end of October 2022.
[30] A week after starting their new roles, the pair had begun working with a group of writers to develop an eight-to-ten-year plan for a new DC Universe (DCU) that would be a "soft reboot" of the DCEU.
[31][32][33] Gunn and Safran said some cast members would return from their film The Suicide Squad and the first season of Peacemaker in the DCU, and a "rough memory" of those events would remain.
[36] He later clarified that the second season of Peacemaker was his next project after Superman,[37][38] and said it would be part of the DCU's Chapter One: Gods and Monsters slate of content.
Production was set to take place simultaneously with Superman later in 2024, in the interest of getting the season ready as soon as possible, so Gunn was no longer able to direct all of the episodes.
[9] Also reprising their roles from the first season are Danielle Brooks as Leota Adebayo, Jennifer Holland as Emilia Harcourt, Steve Agee as John Economos,[8] Robert Patrick as Peacemaker's father Auggie Smith / White Dragon,[10] and Nhut Le as Judomaster.
[45] Gunn revealed the next month that Anissa Matlock, Taylor St. Clair, Dorian Kingi, and Brandon Stanley had also been cast in undisclosed roles.
[18][19] Gunn said in March 2024 that filming was scheduled to begin later that year, simultaneously with production on Superman,[42] at Trilith Studios in Atlanta, Georgia.
