James Gunn has shared intriguing insights about Eagly, the beloved feathered sidekick from the DC Universe, hinting that while a collaboration with Superman’s canine companion, Krypto, is unlikely, Eagly will shine in an action-packed solo sequence in the upcoming Season 2 of *Peacemaker*.
As excitement builds for his reboot of Superman, Gunn has been actively engaging with fans, most recently during a public event at a record store in London. Here, he delved into how iconic franchises like *Star Wars* and *Game of Thrones* have influenced his storytelling techniques within the expansive DC Universe.
Eagly’s Solo Action Sequence in *Peacemaker* Season 2

Christopher Smith, known as Peacemaker, has a close bond with his eagle companion, Eagly, who plays various roles as his protector, friend, and emotional support. Throughout Season 1, Eagly bravely faced adversaries ranging from law enforcement to the Aryan Empire, always standing by Peacemaker’s side. However, fans can anticipate a thrilling twist when the show returns in August: Eagly will have an entire action sequence dedicated solely to him.
Gunn teased, “He’s vicious. Wait until you see Peacemaker Season 2 – Eagly gets a whole action sequence all to himself. That’s a big spoiler for the crowd here.” This revelation is sure to excite fans who have grown fond of Eagly’s antics.
Why Eagly and Krypto Won’t Join Forces

A fan posed an interesting question regarding a potential partnership between Eagly and Superman’s super pup, Krypto. Gunn humorously responded, “Honestly, I think Krypto would eat Eagly.” To illustrate his point, he shared a personal anecdote about his dog, Ozu, which served as inspiration for Krypto: “My wife is in Atlanta where our house is, and he attacked a deer yesterday! He’s not that big, but he was biting the deer’s leg, and the deer was squealing. My wife had to go save the deer from my dog.” His vivid storytelling brought laughter, demonstrating the wild side of Ozu, whom Gunn characterized as “a monster.”
When questioned about whether the film version of Ozu would be tame compared to reality, Gunn candidly replied, “Oh yes, there would be dead people everywhere. He’d be flinging people like zombies in *I Am Legend*… a Krypto zombie movie might have more potential than a Krypto and Eagly team-up.” This comment not only highlights Gunn’s playful imagination but also sets the stage for some dark humor in future narratives.
Viewers can mark their calendars: *Peacemaker* returns on August 28, 2025, while the much-anticipated Superman hit theaters on July 11, 2025. Leading up to these releases, fans can also expect news on post-credits scenes, speculations about a new Justice League film, intriguing updates regarding Mr. Handsome, and some changes Gunn made following test screenings, including the reason behind this Superman wearing trunks over his tights.
