Director James Gunn blasted YouTube personality Grace Randolph on Twitter. Certainly, James Gunn is known for his brutal honesty online. Fans praise him for his willingness for social-media interaction. In addition, he doesn’t like it when scoopers make up stories about his projects.
Grace Randolph earned a James Gunn debunking in September 2020. At the time, Grace Randolph tweeted that Bane would appear in the season finale of James Gunn’s Peacemaker. Rumors flew because Dave Bautista wanted to play Bane. Thus, it seemed more like speculation than anything else. James Gunn replied:
That would, by my definition, mean he was technically in the show. He does not show up at the end or anywhere and has zero lines.

True to his word, there was no Bane in Peacemaker.
The feud between Grace Randolph and James Gunn began in November 2012. She said Marvel Studios should fire him for his controversial remarks on Twitter. And it didn’t end there:
In 2017, Randolph falsely claimed that Gunn did not give Thanos a large role in his Guardians of the Galaxy films because he did not find the character interesting; Gunn debunked her claim and later stated that “I’m gonna guess [Randolph] likes to just make up stuff I’ve said because it helps her get clicks.
Somehow, Grace Randolph triggered James Gunn again recently. Apparently, Grace Randolph took a swipe at Peacemaker on her YouTube channel. James Gunn tweeted back:
The earth revolves around the sun, mothers love their children, & Grace Randolph will spout [expletive].
On the contrary, Peacemaker was successful for HBO Max. Peacemaker earned a 94% critics grade on Rotten Tomatoes. Furthermore, HBO Max renewed it for Season Two.

Peacemaker spun off from James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad (2021) starring John Cena. In fact, HBO Max’s Peacemaker exceeded DC Films’ expectations. HBO Max announced almost immediately that James Gunn will write and direct Season Two.
In May, Variety reported Viola Davis will star in an Amanda Waller HBO Max series.
Furthermore, she will executive produce the show alongside James Gunn.
Nevertheless, DC Films has revealed no details on what the show will be yet. Right now, fans label the upcoming show as the Amanda Waller series. Is Bane in this one? We will let James Gunn say that himself, thank you.
