Most will agree that Star-Lord's father, Ego, from Guardians of the Galaxy 2 is a very bad dad. But James Gunn is teasing that Peacemaker's dad, Auggie (Robert Patrick), is even worse. 'His father's just about the worst father I've ever written.'
According to writer/director James Gunn, Peacemaker's father is going to be even worse than Star-Lord's. Based on the DC Comics character of the same name, Peacemaker will act as an eight-episode spin-off series of Gunn's The Suicide Squad, which was released in August of last year.
The Suicide Squad introduces a host of new characters, including fan-favorite Peacemaker, played by John Cena, who believes in achieving peace at any cost. Although it appears that Peacemaker is killed when he takes a bullet to the throat courtesy of Idris Elba's Bloodsport, a post-credits scene reveals that the resilient character has actually survived and is recovering in a hospital back in the U.S.
"You know, I write the character, so I really love him. I do think that he has a lot good attributes, and he's trying to do the right thing, but he's kind of been brought up in really f***ed way. And his father's just about the worst father I've ever written. And I wrote Ego, who killed Peter Quill's mother with cancer."
One of the more shocking revelations from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 was the reveal that Ego , was actually behind the death of Peter's mother, having put cancer inside of her. Gunn's comment that Auggie will be worse than Ego means audiences seem to be in for some very complicated father-son drama in Peacemaker.
Gunn doesn't elaborate on exactly how Auggie is"the worst father [he's] ever written," but considering Peacemaker is firmly rated R, audiences are likely in for some truly shocking stuff. As with The Suicide Squad, Gunn is clearly pushing the boundaries of an R-rating with Peacemaker, meaning he can take the violence and the mature themes further than he ever could with his Guardians of the Galaxy films.
