peacemaker james gunn white dragon

James Gunn's Peacemaker has all the hallmarks of the director's work from the music choices (incredible), morally complex characters, and some of the most organic team building you can find. But because of his tendency to "go there" I was a little worried that some people might find the White Dragon cool. Thankfully, Gunn found ways to subvert that.

Amazon is keeping most of the who/what/where tightly under wraps, but have been letting out little teases over the past few years. For instance, we know that they will be pulling largely from the historical appendixes that Tolkien included at the end of The Return of the King, and from The Silmarillion - Tolkien’s dense, historical compendium.
