Danielle Brooks
IMDb joins the cast and creator of "Peacemaker" Season 2, James Gunn, along with returning stars Danielle Brooks, Freddie Stroma, Jennifer Holland, and Steve Agee, plus new cast members Sol Rodriguez, David Denman, and Frank Grillo, to talk about the highly anticipated new season. The group shares behind-the-scenes stories, including Brooks and Stroma's intense baking competitions that Gunn jokingly admits may have been taken a little too seriously. Gunn also discusses which character has the biggest personal journey ahead, while the cast reflects on the central questions their characters will confront throughout the season. They open up about what inspires them in Gunn's work ethic and creative process, and Holland even explains why she thinks Gunn needs a well-deserved vacation.
