While Marvel is largely sitting out San Diego Comic-Con 2025, one of their former assets made a triumphant appearance for a competing brand.
James Gunn arrived at the Peacemaker panel in Hall H on Saturday, July 26th, to discuss the show’s second season. But upon his arrival, the director and writer was greeted by an ecstatic crowd in the 6,500-seat auditorium space, who gave him a standing ovation.
Joining him on stage were John Cena and other actors like newcomer Frank Grillo, who became part of Peacemaker for its second season. After the raucous welcome, everyone sat down to discuss the project. Grillo, when later asked to speak about joining the show’s second season, discussed the high value he put on an opportunity to work with Gunn and how he would willingly follow Gunn into any project.

That actor loyalty is impressive considering the rocky road DC has had over the past few years. However, it also speaks to how Gunn’s presence is viewed as something like a breath of fresh air by those not already involved in superhero projects. It also might speak to how his broad personal popularity will be a boon to the DC universe in months and years to come.
Gunn was also given an ecstatic greeting at the comic book-focused Jim Lee & Friends panel later that same day.
