The last time we saw him on our screens, James Gunn had not taken on his responsibilities as president of DC Studios. The Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman of Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot and Ben Affleck were promised a return to our screens. Since his first appearance in The Suicide Squad, a remake of David Ayer's film, Peacemaker has forged a solid reputation within the superhero stable. The launch of his series in 2022 did not go well unnoticed and the character had no trouble finding his audience.
But Peacemaker, or Christopher Smith to his friends, was closely linked to the old DC franchise. He crossed paths with Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn and later the Justice League (Jason Momoa and Ezra Miller) in his own series. Such ties to the abandoned Warner Bros. franchise should logically have led him to bow out at the same time as his peers. That was without counting on James Gunn, alongside Peter Safran, who had other plans for his formidable loser.
Peacemaker is finally getting a season 2, it was promised for this year on Max. Until now, the precise date had not been communicated. While the platform shared the program of celebrations for 2025 a few days ago, James Gunn took to social networks to say more on the matter. Peacemaker is back to bring a little madness to our summer. The date is set for August 21 on the American platform. While French audiences had to wait several months after the American release in 2022—it was offered via the Warner Pass—Max's arrival in our green lands promises a simultaneous broadcast in Uncle Sam's country and in France. Good news for the most impatient and those who want to avoid spoilers.
The ass between two chairs
The appearance of Jason Momoa and Ezra Miller in the season 1 finale will be an event that this new batch of episodes will not be able to sweep under the rug. If James Gunn promised that Peacemaker was canon at his new DCU, the involvement of the actors of Aquaman and Flash poses a problem. This is especially true since the former has already been given a new role within the franchise under construction. Jason Momoa will now be Lobo, making us forget his King of Atlantis. Questioned On this subject, James Gun had explained that this precise moment in the first season was no longer canon. “In reality, almost all of Peacemaker is canon, with the exception of the Justice League... which we will discuss in the next season.”
It remains to be seen how the creator and director will juggle these confusing connections. What is certain is that viewers will find John Cena in the title role, Danielle Brooks (Leota), Freddie Stroma (Vigilante), Steve Agee (Economos) and Jennifer Holland (Harcourt). Newcomers are expected, starting with Frank Grillo who plays Rick Flag Sr. The actor already provided voice work for Creature Commandos last year and is also scheduled to make an appearance in Superman next July.
