I think he’s grateful to the music for that,” Gunn said.Īllusions to Peacemaker being bisexual also appeared in The Suicide Squad where Bloodsport tells Peacemaker, “And I’ve decided that you should eat a big bag of dicks. He loves that music and he’s able to just escape into it and rock out and be okay. Something that was outside the realm of his father.

Gunn also referenced Peacemaker’s affection for hair metal (pop-influenced heavy metal music), saying, “I think the hair metal is actually kind of a beautiful thing about Peacemaker.
