Who is Michael Rooker playing in Peacemaker Season 2?
Thanks to EW.com, James Gunn reveals that Rooker is playing Red St. Wild, who looks to be a new character created for the series. He’s described as the “nemesis” to Peacemaker’s eagle sidekick, Eagly,
“His name is Red St. Wild, and he’s the world’s foremost eagle hunter who is on a mission to kill Eagly,” said James. “We thought Eagly was probably the most popular character from season 1, and so in season 2, he has his own story with his nemesis, played by none other than the despicable Michael Rooker.”
