James Gunn Clarifies DC Universe Timeline Surrounding Frank Grillo’s Rick Flag Sr.

Is Frank Grillo the key to solving the DC Universe timeline? James Gunn debunks speculation that the actor’s beard indicates when projects take place.

According to the director, Frank Grillo’s inconsistent facial hair is mainly down to the actor filming for Tulsa King at the same time as he was playing Rick Flag Sr. in Peacemaker and Superman. “Link it more with Grillo simultaneously shooting Tulsa King.” Gunn explained on Threads “[ Peacemaker season 2] is after [ Superman] which is after [ Creature Commandos].” Given how busy he’s been with the reboot, it wouldn’t make sense to try to hide variable timeline places in the beard of Frank Grillo’s Rick Flag Sr.
