"Peacemaker Season 2 Trailer Unveils Superman Ties to Maxwell Lord, Hawkgirl, Guy Gardner"

The highly anticipated trailer for Peacemaker Season 2 has just been released by Max, showcasing exciting new connections to the Superman universe. The trailer opens with a dramatic scene featuring Sean Gunn as Maxwell Lord, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner / Green Lantern, and Isabela Merced as Kendra Saunders / Hawkgirl. They are seen interviewing John Cena's character, Peacemaker, for a potential spot on a superhero team. The interview quickly turns sour, leaving Peacemaker visibly dejected as he storms out of the building.

This trailer gives fans a fresh look at some key supporting characters who will also appear in James Gunn's upcoming Superman movie. The integration of these characters marks a significant crossover within the new DCU.

Peacemaker Season 2 is slated to premiere on August 21 on Max, following the release of Superman on July 11. This positions the series as the third entry in the newly established DCU, which began with the Creature Commandos TV series last year.

James Gunn and co-CEO Peter Safran are steering the DCU away from the criticized DC Extended Universe, which included films like Justice League, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and Man of Steel. Despite this shift, some elements from the DCEU will carry over into the new DCU, with Peacemaker serving as a prime example. While Season 1 was part of the DCEU, Season 2 will be fully integrated into the DCU.

Gunn has assured fans that "many strands will remain consistent as far as Peacemaker's story goes," although it's still unclear which specific elements will transition from the old to the new universe. He confirmed that all of Team Peacemaker will return with the same actors, including John Cena as Peacemaker, Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr., Freddie Stroma as Adrian Chase, and Danielle Brooks as Leota Adebayo.

Moreover, Gunn has stated that Peacemaker Season 2 will take place after the events of both Creature Commandos and Superman, with the latter's storyline directly impacting Peacemaker's narrative.

Mark your calendars for August 21 to catch Peacemaker Season 2 on Max, and dive deeper into the evolving world of the DCU.

Achieving peace is a team effort.
