James Gunn shares the very first glimpse at Peacemaker season 2, as production on the return of John Cena’s DC anti-hero in an all-new DC universe begins. The wrestler-turned-actor first took on the role of the extreme peace-loving hero for Gunn’s DC movie debut in 2021’s The Suicide Squad, where he narrowly escaped death and received a new assignment and team for his own Max series. Peacemaker season 1’s tale of father issues, alien imposters, and uncomfortable “truths” about DC’s biggest heroes from its lead won over viewers.
As Gunn’s reimagined DC cinematic universe continues to develop its early chapters, the director shared a new update to his Instagram account.

Peacemaker
John Cena stars as Christopher Smith, AKA the titular Peacemaker in James Gunn’s spin-off/sequel TV series to The Suicide Squad. Set after the film’s events, Peacemaker follows the misguided hero with a vanity complex but believes in peace, no matter how large the body count he has to rack up to get it. Having survived his mission in the Suicide Squad (Aka Task Force X), he’s been enlisted again to join a new team and save the world. With his blade eagle sidekick, Eagly, Peacemaker will embark on a misguided quest for peace as he fights to do the right thing – as wrongly as possible.
