James Gunn may be working on Superman right now, but he’s making time to work on another pet project of his in the form of the Peacemaker series starring John Cena. Just in, Gunn has announced that production has started on the second season, and he teases us with a photo of himself on Peacemaker’s helmet.

We don’t have any details about the second season yet, but we do know that Peacemaker’s special team was disbanded by the end of the season. What is teased is that there’s still one of the butterfly aliens living with Peacemaker, and he’s still seeing his dad—which could mean that he could be sticking around to torment him for Season 2.
I guess that’s childhood trauma for you.
Though Peacemaker ended up being the surprise villain in The Suicide Squad, Gunn had given him a very fleshed out arc in his own series. Besides the fact that the hero is kind of a ridiculous manchild stuck in the 80s, he still has a very sympathetic backstory, and John Cena absolutely sells the character.
Not to mention the rest of the cast is also fun to watch. Steve Agee, Jennifer Holland, Freddie Stroma, and Danielle Brooks really bounced off well with Cena, and hopefully they bring everyone back for the second season.
Fingers crossed wealso get some cameos from other DC heroes that are now part of the new canon.
No release date has been announced for Peacemaker Season 2, but you can watch out for it on Max soon.
