James Gunn Confirms Viola Davis' Return as Amanda Waller: Updates on the Delayed Waller Series and Peacemaker's Second Season

James Gunn has confirmed that Viola Davis will reprise her role as Amanda Waller, but the project may take longer than anticipated. Gunn and DC Studios co-CEO Peter Safran are still working on the Amanda Waller series, with Gunn expressing excitement to see Davis back in her Waller persona. The decision to release Peacemaker’s second season before the Waller show was made for various reasons, emphasizing the importance of quality in production. Safran also acknowledged the challenges faced in bringing the Waller project to fruition, describing it as a "bumpy road." Despite these obstacles, Gunn and Safran have found success in continuing John Cena’s Peacemaker story, delving deeper into the character's journey in the upcoming season. Gunn highlighted the seamless transition in continuing Peacemaker's story within the DCEU, paving the way for future projects like Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow and Lanterns.
