As James Gunn brings Peacemaker into his new DCU with Season 2, he’s clearing up some canonical confusion for fans. Following this week’s season premiere ‘The Ties That Grind’, the DC Studios boss explained that he doesn’t plan to retcon Season 1, despite subbing in Isabela Merced‘s Hawkgirl and Nathan Fillion‘s Green Lantern for two DCEU characters featured in the …

This article contains mild spoilers for Peacemaker season 2, episode 1. Peacemaker is taking shots at Thirty Seconds To Mars. The DC Studios show, which stars John Cena as the titular silver-helmeted vigilante, made multiple jokes at the expense of Jared Leto’s rock band in the premiere episode of its second season. Written and directed by DC Studios co-CEO James …

James Gunn has clarified some DCU timeline business following the premiere of Peacemaker Season 2. The first episode of Peacemaker Season 2 is now available to stream on HBO Max. While the first season served as an extension of the DCEU, which ended with 2023’s Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, the new season exists within Gunn and Peter Safran’s DCU, …

With his medicine-ball biceps and chin worthy of an Easter Island moai, the wrestler turned actor John Cena can actually pull off wearing a daft comic book outfit, shiny silver helmet and all. That’s what makes Cena’s spandex-clad Chris Smith AKA Peacemaker so inherently funny: he looks the part but is a demonstrably terrible superhero. Being a hard-charging, self-sabotaging meathead …

If there was ever a question if Jared Leto would be returning in his Joker role, the answer is now as clear as day thanks to the first episode of Peacemaker Season 2: Leto is out. The episode – spoilers – features not one, not two, but three references to Jared Leto without directly naming the actor. John Cena’s Peacemaker …

The first episode of Peacemaker season 2, “The Ties that Grind,” is now streaming on HBO Max, and the returning series wastes very little time in revealing exactly how that pesky Justice League scene from the DCEU-based first season has been retconned. Spoilers ahead. They’re just… different characters now. In a “previously on” montage to open the episode, we see …

John Cena has a brief cameo in this summer’s Superman as Peacemaker, the foul-mouthed mercenary the wrestler-turned-actor has played since 2021’s The Suicide Squad. That movie was part of the old DC Comics shared universe (DCEU), so it seemed odd that Cena’s character would appear in James Gunn’s new take on Superman, considering he was, ostensibly, part of a different …

James Gunn even reshot some scenes from the Snyder-era of the DCEU to take out some elements and add in the Justice Gang. There’s no question about Peacemaker’s status in the DCU, as the Season 2 “previously on” makes big changes to the continuity of the series. This article contains spoilers for the Peacemaker Season 2 premiere. One of the …

In its Season 2 premiere, the John Cena–starring streaming series is retconned into James Gunn’s new DCU “I cherish peace with all my heart,” Peacemaker told his Task Force X teammates near the start of their secret mission in 2021’s The Suicide Squad. “I don’t care how many men, women, and children I need to kill to get it.” It’s …

James Gunn’s Superman was designed as a fresh start for movies and TV shows based on DC Comics characters. Henry Cavill and the desaturated edgelord aesthetic of Zack Snyder, out; David Corenswet, vivid colors, optimism, and rambunctious superdogs, in. As Gunn and Peter Safran reboot a franchise that largely wasn’t working, they were prepared to set aside nearly all of …
