Peacemaker series creator James Gunn phoned Elizabeth Banks to verify Vigilante actor Freddie Stroma wasn't an 'a-hole' before hiring him on the DC series:
✖ Freddie Stroma passed the"a-hole check." Peacemaker series creator James Gunn reveals he called Elizabeth Banks before hiring Stroma to play Adrian Chase, the sociopathic costumed killer known as Vigilante, in The Suicide Squad spinoff series for HBO Max. Banks starred in the Gunn-directed Slither and the Gunn-produced Brightburn, working with the Bridgerton actor in 2012's Pitch Perfect.
Also I should thank @ElizabethBanks who I called to do an asshole check to make sure @freddiestroma was a good guy – she worked with him on Pitch Perfect – she told me he was great & she was right! #Peacemaker #PeacemakerParty Fun fact: @freddiestroma spoke in an American accent the whole time he was shooting & hanging with us, for months. @JohnCena nearly fell over when we wrapped & he had a British accent. #Peacemaker #PeacemakerParty https://t.co/Qi15j3PkWE
"[Stroma] came in late. We had already shot five-and-a-half episodes with another actor, who's an incredibly talented guy, but we were on different pages about certain things, and I don't think he wanted to continue on the series in the long run," Gunn said in a previous interview with Screen Rant."So we brought Freddie in, five-and-a-half episodes in, and I reshot all of his scenes...we re-shot. I directed all of the scenes with Vigilante in five and a half episodes.
