Though the job market is incredibly tough right now, it appears that A.R.G.U.S. is always hiring. In the first season of Peacemaker, the covert government organization enlisted the aid of John Cena’s unhinged hired gun Christopher Smith for Project Butterfly. Now for the second season, DC Studios and James Gunn have tapped a couple of incredibly talented individuals with talents both onscreen and off. 

According to Deadline, veteran performer Tim Meadows is joining the cast of the Max series’ sophomore outing. The actor is best known for his roles in Mean Girls, Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, and The Ladies Man. He also has an extensive television resume stretching from his time as a mainstay on Saturday Night Live in the 1990s to sitcoms such as The Bill Engvall Show, Bob’s Burgers, and The Goldbergs. But when he steps in the DC Universe, Meadows will play original character A.R.G.U.S agent Langston Fleury.

Behind the scenes, Greg Mottola will join the roster of directors for Peacemaker. Gunn revealed on his personal Instagram account that he has been a fan of the filmmaker’s work from Daytrippers, Superbad, and beyond. Mottola will be directing the second and third episodes of season two.

With production ramping up at Trilith Studios in Atlanta, Georgia, several new additions have been made to the highly-anticipated second season recently. Earlier this week, Star Trek: Picard star Sol Rodriguez joined the cast to play Bruce Wayne’s former bodyguard Sasha Bordeaux. David Denman of The Office and Mare of Easttown was also cast in an undisclosed role. The duo joined previously announced cast member Frank Grillo. The former Marvel Cinematic Universe villain will play Rick Flag Sr. He’s the father of Joel Kinnaman’s character from The Suicide Squad; who likely has some beef with Peacemaker after he killed his son. Grillo will also lend his voice to the elder Flag in the upcoming animated series Creature Commandos.

Despite his commitments to Superman, showrunner Gunn will still make time to helm three of the eight episodes for this “soft reboot,”. When it premieres, the show will be a part of the DCU’s Chapter One: Gods and Monsters. It is supposedly meant to take place after the events of the Man of Steel’s next cinematic outing starring David Corenswet.
