Starting out as a staff writer at Total Film, moving up to Deputy Online Editor, Sam was responsible for Total Film’s YouTube channel, where he revolutionised the magazine’s approach to video junkets, creating influential formats that spread to other outlets. Sam is an entertainment writer with NCTJ accreditation and a twenty-year career as a film journalist. In 2012, Sam made it to the final of the Leicester Square Theatre New Comedian of the Year competition, and went on to become a filmmaker himself, directing three features that have all played major festivals, and secured distribution – starring in two of them. UK fans will be well aware that the series didn't actually air for us until two whole months after it premiered in the US. Gunn did sympathise with his British fans, though, and said that if it was up to him then it would have aired simultaneously with America.
As the first original DC show to have its series premiere on HBO Max, we are thrilled that the viewers agreed to give peace a f**king chance."Funko POP! brings you your favourite characters as you’ve never seen them before. This iconic range of collectibles has something for every fan. So I know where Peacemaker starts and where he ends, but I’m playing with other ideas around that and how that’s gonna play out."
Peacemaker season two was inevitable since the moment it started breaking viewing records at its streaming home, HBO Max . The show increased its audience week on week, thanks to the winning combination of John Cena, James Gunn and a CGI eagle named Eagly. Sam has also interviewed several comic creators, including Stan Lee, Alan Moore, Grant Morrison, and he has a zombie cameo in The Walking Dead comic. Funko POP! Vinyl figures make the perfect gift for fans and collectors, bringing epic design to the heroes and villains of DC, Marvel’s Avengers and many more. Capture the magic of Hogwarts with enchanting Harry Potter designs, or collect your favourite characters from Fortnite and Game of Thrones. He’s interviewed a wide range of film icons, including directors such as David Lynch, Quentin Tarantino, Paul Thomas Anderson, Sofia Coppola, Ridley Scott, Michael Bay and Sam Raimi, as well as actors such as Meryl Streep, Nic Cage, Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Anne Hathaway, Margot Robbie, Natalie Portman, Kermit the Frog, all of the Avengers and many more. And we see at least the beginnings of a friendship between him and Amelia Harcourt, and a true friendship between him and, y'know, some of the other characters. But we also see his father looms, whether or not he was alive, and whatever that infection is that his father is still there, is very much a part of who he is."Gunn's aware that Vigilante has turned into a popular character, but don't expect Adrian Chase to stay the same in season two just to satisfy fans. If Gunn's talking about him being a straight line in season one, we'd expect his arc to be a bit more complicated across the follow-up. Gunn likes going deeper on characters he thinks are a bit one-note. The Butterflies and the plot and all of that is secondary to who he was as a character and what his changes were, as well as the other characters and where they began and where they end, because they all have little changes for themselves – with the exception of Vigilante, who's sort of a straight line the whole time. Not only did The Suicide Squad introduce us to the best rat of all, Sebastian, it also introduced us to a host of new DC characters. Elba said if there was any other character he'd like to play, it's Bizarro. I'm still playing with a lot of different things. The most important thing for me in the first season was who Peacemaker was and where was he going – what was his personal journey?" he said (via Variety). Jim Carrey once mistook Sam for Johnny Cash, and John Carpenter told him to ‘Keep up the good work.’ He promises to try his best.
