Exciting news for Peacemaker fans as James Gunn announces the commencement of filming for Season 2 this summer. However, the acclaimed director also dives into the complex landscape of the show’s place in the DC canon.
Taking to Threads, Gunn confirms the summer filming schedule for Peacemaker Season 2. He shares, “Yes, we’ll be shooting Superman & Peacemaker simultaneously; yes, I’ve written all the episodes; but, no, in the interest of getting the show out there I won’t be able to direct them all (only some).”
The confusion arises as Gunn, along with producer Peter Safran, steers the launch of the new DCU cinematic universe, leading to the abandonment of elements from the previous DCEU. Peacemaker Season 1, tied to The Suicide Squad and the old DCEU, is declared non-canon, making way for Season 2 to embrace the rebooted DC universe, linking specifically to the upcoming 2025 Superman movie.
Gunn clarifies, “Season one isn’t canon,” shedding light on Peacemaker Season 2’s connection to Superman’s events. He assures that while many strands from Season 1 will remain consistent in Peacemaker’s story, the new season will unfold post-Superman.
In response to Peacemaker-related queries, Gunn confirms the return of ‘Team Peacemaker’ actors, including John Cena, Jennifer Holland, Danielle Brooks, and Freddie Stroma, among others.
As the DCU gears up for its launch with Creature Commandos, an animated series, and the much-anticipated 2025 Superman movie, the interconnected threads of the DC Universe promise an exhilarating journey for fans.
The Superman film, starring David Corenswet as Clark Kent, is already in production, offering glimpses of Superman’s new suit and Nicholas Hoult’s portrayal of Lex Luthor.
Amidst the evolving landscape of the DC Universe, James Gunn’s Peacemaker stands as a pivotal player, navigating through timelines and narratives in the superhero saga.
