Trailer for Peacemaker Season 2 Previews Increased Aggression, Camaraderie, and Eagle-Related Upheaval
In an exciting turn of events, the highly-anticipated second season of the DC series, Peacemaker, is set to premiere on Max on August 21. The show, starring John Cena, will delve deeper into the DC Universe (DCU), building bridges from the old DCEU towards the new DCU.
According to James Gunn, showrunner of Peacemaker, the new season will heavily focus on the concept of "pocket universes", a theme also present in the upcoming Superman movie. This approach aims to reconcile past DCEU elements with the new DCU vision, providing narrative clarity and cohesion for fans.
The second season will explicitly integrate with the new DCU, as evidenced by its direct connection to the new Superman film and the introduction of characters like Rick Flag Sr., played by Frank Grillo, from the upcoming Creature Commandos. This crossover and continuity integration are expected to extend beyond the TV series, with surprise cameos from unreleased DC projects.
Rick Flag Sr.'s appearance in Peacemaker is not limited to the TV series. He will also reprise his role in the animated series Creature Commandos, further cementing the interconnectedness of the DCU’s TV and film projects.
The new season promises a darker storyline, with something ominous lurking in the background. In a sneak peek shown on Inside the NBA, Flag Sr. was seen hunting down Peacemaker and his companions. This darker narrative is reminiscent of the sinister tone compared to Guardians of the Galaxy in io9's review of the first season.
Gunn's approach to Peacemaker is one that puts a lot of foolishness and heart on display, a sentiment echoed in io9's review. The show's ability to work and sell its absurd slice of the DC Universe has been praised, making it a unique addition to the DCU.
In other news, a special event took place on Inside the NBA, where Shaq and Charles Barkley engaged in an impromptu "wrassling" match. The show hosts also donned Peacemaker helmets, adding to the excitement surrounding the series.
Meanwhile, in the realm of DC films, David Corenswet has been cast as Clark Kent in Gunn's Superman film. However, it is worth noting that Gunn's Superman film stars Henry Cavill is not involved.
For those seeking more information about the future of the DC Universe on film and TV, io9 remains a valuable resource.
Lastly, John Cena made a surprise appearance on Inside the NBA, adding to the growing anticipation for the return of Peacemaker. With its unique blend of action, humour, and dark undertones, Peacemaker Season 2 promises to be an exciting addition to the DCU.
