New Peacemaker Season 2 Trailer Unveils Superman Connections

BURBANK, Calif. — Max has released a new trailer for the highly anticipated Season 2 of Peacemaker, which showcases multiple connections to the Superman universe. Premiering on August 21, 2025, the trailer highlights the comedic yet tense interactions between hero Peacemaker, played by John Cena, and other key characters such as Maxwell Lord, Hawkgirl, and Guy Gardner.

The trailer opens with actors Sean Gunn, Nathan Fillion, and Isabela Merced portraying Maxwell Lord, Guy Gardner, and Kendra Saunders respectively, as they interview Cena’s Peacemaker for inclusion in a superhero team. The scene humorously depicts Peacemaker feeling dejected after a rocky interview. Fans can expect a blend of action and comedy, continuing the narrative established in the first season.

Season 2 follows the events of the July 11 launch of Superman, part of a revamped DC Universe led by James Gunn and Peter Safran. This new direction marks a departure from the previously criticized DC Extended Universe. While elements from the old universe are retained, Gunn has confirmed that all original Peacemaker cast members will return, including Danielle Brooks and Freddie Stroma.

In this season, Peacemaker and his team, dubbed the 11th Street Kids, grapple with their newfound fame after saving the world in the first season. However, the trailer indicates that their heroic actions have not garnered the recognition they anticipated, setting the stage for challenges ahead.

The trailer does not specify new villains, but it hints at returning characters, including Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr., who seeks revenge for his son’s death during previous DC films. Further, a compelling scene in the trailer suggests Peacemaker’s journey may involve alternate dimensions, creating excitement and speculation among fans.

James Gunn has committed to writing and directing the new season, keen to maintain the balance of humor and deeper character development that resonated with audiences in Season 1. Fans are eager to see how the story unfolds and how it connects with the larger narrative of the DC Universe.
