""When James sends us the scripts, we get them far in advance, but a script is not a visual," he tells Inverse. "I mean, you read it, but there's not photos involved or anything, and it doesn't always describe the landscape that you're working in. So those episodes where we're in the other timeline, it never says everyone is white.""
""When I was reading the script, I didn't find out about that twist until Episode 6, and I was like, 'Holy sh*t, this is amazing. Everyone's going to go crazy. They're going to flip out on Episode 6,'" he said. "People get really laser-focused, and they replay the episodes, and they pause it, and they look, and they're like, 'Oh yeah, there's no people of color.' I was shocked by the script with that reveal because it wasn't described in every episode.""
Steve Agee portrays A.R.G.U.S. employee John Economos across The Suicide Squad, Peacemaker, and Creature Commandos and served as the on-set mo-cap stand-in for King Shark. In Peacemaker Season 2 Economos and the 11th Street Kids travel into an alternate dimension searching for Chris Smith that turns out to be a white-supremacist world where the Nazis won World War II. Fans noticed from early episodes that there were no people of color among background extras. Scripts did not visually specify that detail, and Agee only learned the full twist by Episode 6. He expected intense fan scrutiny and reactions.
