The highly anticipated second season of Peacemaker is officially underway, with creator James Gunn dropping major updates that will thrill fans of the explosive DC series.
Gunn took to social media to confirm that filming has commenced, sending a clear message that the project is moving full steam ahead despite significant behind-the-scenes changes at DC Studios.
Navigating The New DC Universe
One of the most pressing questions for fans has been how Peacemaker will fit into James Gunn and Peter Safran's newly established DC Universe. Gunn addressed these concerns directly, stating the series will serve as a continuation of the first season while acknowledging the dramatic events of the DCEU.
This suggests a clever narrative approach that allows the show to maintain its unique tone and established characters while seamlessly integrating into the revamped cinematic universe.
The Whole Team is Back
In excellent news for viewers, Gunn confirmed the return of the entire core cast. This means John Cena will once again strap on the iconic chrome helmet as Christopher Smith/Peacemaker.
He'll be joined by the beloved team members from Project Butterfly:
- Danielle Brooks as Leota Adebayo
- Freddie Stroma as the scene-stealing Vigilante
- Jennifer Holland as Emilia Harcourt
- Steve Agee as John Economos
Their dynamic chemistry was a cornerstone of the first season's success, promising more hilarious and heartfelt moments to come.
From The Big Screen to The Small Screen
Gunn also provided insight into his process, revealing he began writing the season two script immediately after completing work on the Superman film. This confirms his deep, hands-on involvement in shaping the next chapter of Peacemaker's story.
While an official release date from HBO Max remains under wraps, the start of production is a strong indicator that fans won't have to wait too much longer to see Peacemaker and his crew back in action.
