Of course, since Max is the platform of Warner Bros. Discovery, many are eagerly awaiting what’s in store forJames GunnandPeter Safran’s new DCU. Fittingly enough, on the same night as the series finale ofMatt Reeves’The Batmanspin-off,The Penguin(which as of now does not take place in Gunn and Safran’s continuity), the sizzle reel offers some brand-new footage for DC Comics fans. Not only does the reel offer a new look atthe DCU’s first official original project,Creature Commandos, but it also gives us our first proper look at the second season ofPeacemaker.
The new trailer makes abundantly clear that Christopher Smith (John Cena) and his team of underdog heroes are back and better than ever. Not only do we see Smith don his now iconic helmet once again, but we also get to see Vigilante (Freddie Stroma), Leota Adebayo (Danielle Brooks), Emilia Harcourt (Jennifer Holland), and John Economos (Steve Agee). We also get our first proper look atthe live-action version of Rick Flag Sr. (Frank Grillo), who will be making his DCU debut beforePeacemakerSeason 2 inCreature Commandos.
Does ‘Peacemaker’ Season 2 Take Place in the New DCU?
Rick Flag Sr. being a part ofPeacemakerSeason 2 practically confirms the film takes place in the new DCU continuity, which admittedly raises some questions. Being a direct continuation of the story set up inSuicide SquadandThe Suicide Squad, this would seemingly imply that one or both of those films are still canon even though they originated in theDCEU. The season itself was even announced before Gunn and Safran took over as the new leads of DC Studios, so we’ll have to wait and see if Peacemaker will ever have a run-in withDavid Corenswet’s Superman.
PeacemakerSeason 2 premieres in 2025 on Max. you may watch the new footage above.
