by

In Season 2 of “Peacemaker,” the narrative centers on Rick Flag Sr.’s pursuit of Chris Smith regarding the demise of his child. However, as hinted by James Gunn, this series will also tie into his upcoming Superman film, with a particular focus on the Justice League.

At Comic-Con’s Peacekeeping gathering, they unveiled the first look at the Season 2 trailer. In this sneak peek, character Chris Smith, portrayed by John Cena, stumbles upon a gateway leading to another reality, where things appear to be noticeably more appealing, as if “the grass is said to be greener.

In the series, Rick Flag Sr., portrayed by Frank Grillo, shares a relentless thirst for revenge due to the demise of his son, Rick Flag Jr. This tragic event serves as a link between the show and the 2021 DC film The Suicide Squad.

In the upcoming series, it will delve into the happenings following James Gunn’s latest Superman release, as well as Peacemaker’s aspiration to join a particular superhero squad. This means there may be slight spoilers ahead for the more sensitive viewers.

Peacemaker “really wants to be part of the Justice Gang”

As a gamer, I’ve got to say, the unexpected appearance of Superman as Peacemaker in the movie had me chuckling like crazy! The moment when doubts about the Man of Steel’s intentions were raised and Chris Smith spoke out on a news show, claiming he’d always thought something fishy was going on with that super-powered alien, just hit the spot. It was a hilarious twist that added an extra layer to the movie experience.

Peacemaker remarks, ‘I’m not shocked,’ as such individuals often harbor numerous hidden, unsavory aspects. He seems to believe himself superior to others.

When asked if Chris Smith (Peacemaker) still holds the same feelings towards Superman in Season 2 of his show, James Gunn stated to IGN: “It seems Peacemaker may respect Superman a tad more now. Initially, we see him making fun of Superman, but I believe he may have developed a deeper admiration for him compared to before.

As a die-hard fan, I’ve picked up on something intriguing from Gunn’s recent statements. It seems that Peacemaker might be hiding an underlying purpose for his shift in stance towards the Man of Steel. This secret agenda is somehow connected to Green Lantern, Hawkgirl, and Mister Terrific.

Character: “He’s eager to join the Justice Group, so he won’t make any more disparaging remarks about Superman, as they are friends of his.

When asked if Peacemaker might retract his earlier Superman remarks, Gunn replies: “He’d retract them. He doesn’t have the courage for such matters.

Season 2 is a redemption story

Speaking as an ardent fan, it seems that the core focus of Peacemaker’s second season, according to Gunn, revolves around the concept of redemption. This protagonist is well aware of his past mistakes and has undergone a profound transformation since the first season.

To ensure Peacemaker doesn’t revert back to his initial Season 1 behavior, we aimed to portray a different side of him this season. The significant events and relationships he encountered in Season 1 have shaped him profoundly. His unique bond with Leota Adebayo has brought about a complete transformation in him.

This new character, the Peacemaker, is striving to become the best version of himself, but he frequently falls short. Despite his efforts, his past continues to haunt him, whether it’s his complicated relationship with his late father or his history with Rick Flag Jr.’s dad. The story primarily revolves around this internal battle for redemption and seeking love. There is also a romantic aspect to the narrative.

The popular series “Peacemaker” is back on HBO Max starting August 21, 2025. If you want to know more about what’s in store for Eagly this season, take a look at the Season 2 preview.
