James Gunn Says PEACEMAKER’s Season 2 Intro Was Harder to Film Because of ‘More Bad Dancers’

by

During a pre-season virtual press conference where TopMob was present, a journalist inquired about Gunn’s experience shooting the opening credits sequence for season two and how it differed from the original filming process. ” Frankly,” Gunn replied, “the main hurdle I faced this time around was that we have more inept dancers on set.

Perfect.

It seems that James Gunn attributed the challenging nature of this season to a particular group of his friends: Frank Grillo, Tim Meadows, and Michael Rooker. In typical Gunn style, he openly acknowledged their struggles. He humorously compared them to Robert Patrick, stating, “They were like him last season – poor dancers. But now, they’ve improved significantly.

When someone stated that it wasn’t evident, Gunn expressed a differing opinion. He asserted, “With repeated viewing, you’ll spot it. Pay attention to Rooker and you’ll notice his dance skills.” After multiple re-watches, we agree – and we believe Gunn may have overlooked some less-than-stellar performances as well. There are indeed instances of subpar dancing. (Without naming names…)

As a movie buff, I can tell you that when it came to selecting the music for one particular sequence, Gunn revealed he couldn’t imagine anything but Foxy Shazam’s “Oh Lord” fitting the bill. He mentioned that there might have been other tracks out there that were contenders, but only a few stood out. Among those, another Foxy Shazam song was on his radar. However, in the end, he felt that “Oh Lord” resonated perfectly with the season, much like how ‘Do Ya Wanna Taste It’ had captured the essence of the first season.

The opening credits of “Peacemaker” remain enjoyable regardless of the songs chosen by Gunn. Moreover, his joking about John Cena, Robert Patrick, and Sean Gunn as poor dancers adds an extra layer of amusement to season two.
