Frank Grillo Birthday: James Gunn Wishes 'Buddy' Rick Flag Sr While Waiting For Him To Bring DCU Together - See Post

On June 8 (yesterday), James Gunn shared a social media post wishing renowned actor Frank Grillo a happy birthday. He also expressed excitement to see Grillo in his upcoming projects, Superman and Peacemaker Season 2.

James Francis Gunn Jr. recently took to his official X (formally Twitter) handle to share a special birthday post for the legendary actor. The caption shared, "Not everyone in the DCU is black or white – most are shades of gray. And no one brings color to gray more than Frank Grillo, our own Rick Flag, Sr. Can’t wait for folks to see you bring the DCU together in #Superman and #Peacemaker. Happy Birthday, buddy!"

Check out the tweet:

During an interview with Screen Rant, Grillo was asked how much of his DCU role has been mapped out by Gunn. "All of it! This is why James Gunn is the perfect man to do this. When he asked me to do the role in Creature Commandos, he sent me every script, and not a word was changed. And then when he asked me to do Peacemaker, he sent me every script, and not a word was changed. My role in Superman has a lot to do with Peacemaker, so it is connective tissue. And, of course, not a word has changed. But because [the arc] is also constantly evolving, you need to be involved in how the characters change a lot more. Gunn's all about the script - script, script, script," he explained.

For the unversed, Frank Grillo is set to star in Superman and Peacemaker 2.
