In the role of a strategic backup agent for A.R.G.U.S., John Economos has been a key figure in the TV series Peacemaker, which launched its second season on the 2025 television calendar last week. However, one challenge Steve Agee’s character faces is the difficulty people have in pronouncing his surname correctly. The cast members of Peacemaker can’t seem to agree on the right way to say it, but according to Agee himself, John C. Reilly has it all figured out.
During a conversation at the Peacemaker Season 2 press event, Hannah Saulic asked Steve Agee about the correct pronunciation of Economos. Agee explained that while James Gunn, the creator and co-head of DC Studios, says “Econ-OH-Mos,” he personally prefers “Econ-IHm-IHs.
John C. Reilly, whom you may recognize from films like “Guardians of the Galaxy” and “Chicago,” shared with me an interesting tidbit from his childhood in Chicago. There was a family living next door to him whose last name was ‘Economos.’ He pronounced it as ‘Econ-IHm-IHs,’ just as I do, and John Ostrander, the creator of “The Suicide Squad,” based a character named John Economos on someone he knew who lived in Chicago. This leads me to believe that the real John Economos might have been John C. Reilly’s neighbor growing up. As such, I plan to continue referring to this name as ‘Econ-IHm-IHs.’ In conclusion, this anecdote provides an interesting connection between two fictional characters named John Economos.

In a recent conversation, actor Steve Agee from Peacemaker revealed that one character was particularly challenging to cast for season 2. This tidbit has only fueled my anticipation for the upcoming episodes even more!
There was concern among some fans that Peacemaker Season 2 might be canceled due to changes happening within DC. But what did the stars have to say about it?
The original Suicide Squad was launched in 1959, but it was John Ostrander who developed the version of the team that’s most familiar to the public today – a group consisting of imprisoned supervillains tasked with dangerous missions for leniency and sentence reductions. John Economos, introduced in the first issue of 1987’s Suicide Squad comic series, bears an intriguing resemblance to a character Ostrander may have based on a real-life individual whom actor John C. Reilly knew back in Chicago.
It might be useful to reach out to Michael Riedel (who worked with John Economos under James Gunn during Guardians of the Galaxy) for details about his acquaintance with Economos. These findings can then be compared with those that John Ostrander has regarding Economos. Alternatively, you could set up a conversation between these two individuals to cross-reference their information and establish a clearer picture. Moreover, it’s worth noting that Stephen Agee trusts Reidley when it comes to the correct pronunciation of Economos. However, I must admit that I too follow James Gunn in saying “Econ-OH-Mos.
In the upcoming season of “Peacemaker,” John Economos will persistently support John Cena’s character, Christopher Smith, and their team. The second installment is eagerly anticipated, having been delayed by approximately six months since Steve Agee resumed his role vocally in the animated series “Creature Commandos.” This spin-off can be accessed with an HBO Max subscription.
