John Cena's return in the the DCEU movie timeline reached its conclusion in December 2023, one corner of the former franchise is continuing in the new DCU continuity, as Peacemaker season 2 will be integrated into DC Studios' reboot. Even though plot details have remained heavily under wraps, DC Studios is getting ready to disclose more information about Peacemaker season 2.
With Peacemaker season 2 set to premiere after James Gunn's Superman movie, the Max series was recently featured during Inside the NBA where they debuted new footage from the DC TV show. The Peacemaker season 2 footage starts at 0:20 in the video, showcasing Christopher Smith and the returning characters from season 1. Check it out below:
However, there is more good news, as it was revealed that the full Peacemaker season 2 trailer will be released on Friday, May 9. As previously announced, Peacemaker season 2 is confirmed to premiere on Thursday, August 21, on Max.
What The Peacemaker Season 2 Teaser Means For The Show
As there have been a lot of questions about the canon status of the Peacemaker season 2 story - given that the show began during the DCEU era - the new trailer clarifies that the majority of what happened in season 1 is seemingly still intact. One of the signs for that is Frank Grillo's Rick Flag Sr., who is on the hunt for Peacemaker after his son Rick Flag Jr.'s death in The Suicide Squad. While Rick is definitely being setup as one of the major forces against Peacemaker in the next season, time will tell if there are other threats waiting for Cena's titular character.
However, another plot point that gets revealed in the new Peacemaker season 2 footage is the fact that Christopher and his team are still not seen as heroes, despite the events of season 1. It wouldn't be shocking if the teaser is trying to imply that Peacemaker season 2 will be where these characters try to get closer to being recognized as fellow superheroes. It also remains to be seen how much of Gunn's Superman movie gets referenced in Peacemaker season 2, since it will be set after the film.
Our Take On The Peacemaker Season 2 Teaser
From what is showcased in the new Peacemaker season 2 footage, the show continues to look just as fun as it was in season 1, but under the context of being in the DCU franchise, which opens up the door for lots of possibilities, as there is still so much that is not known yet about Gunn's reboot. The bigger question is whether or not Peacemaker season 2 will hint a lot about the universe shifts. With the full Peacemaker season 2 teaser trailer dropping in only a few days, time will tell what else is in store for the show's big return.
