Peacemaker Season 2's Place In DCEU Confirmed By James Gunn

screenrant.com:

James Gunn confirms Peacemaker season 2's place in the larger DCEU. After introducing the character in last year's The Suicide Squad, John Cena's Christopher Smith/Peacemaker got his very own spinoff show on HBO Max. Peacemaker season 1 was a hit with both audiences and critics, chronicling the anti-hero's team-up with Vigilante (Freddie Stroma), Leota Adebayo (Danielle Brooks), Emilia Harcourt (Jennifer Holland), and John Economos (Steve Agee), to stop an invasion from an alien race dubbed Butterflies.

Not long after the conclusion of season 1, it was announced that Peacemaker season 2 would be moving forward. Little is known about the project so far, but Gunn has confirmed that work on the new season will begin when he has finished production on Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Cena's Peacemaker is expected to return, in addition to the characters played by Stroma, Brooks, Holland, and Agee. While details regarding Peacemaker season 2 continue to emerge, many fans have wondered about Peacemaker's general place in the DCEU. Specifically, one Twitter user asked the filmmaker how the new season will figure into the larger plans for the DC movie franchise's multiverse, which will soon see the return of both Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton's Batmen in the upcoming The Flash.

Now Gunn has laid some of these concerns to rest. He confirms that, like season 1, Peacemaker season 2 will be a part of the DCEU. The writer/director also affirms that Peacemaker will continue to be a part of the DCEU moving forward. Outside of those confirmations, however, Gunn doesn't elaborate any further on his plans for Peacemaker season 2. Check out Gunn's tweet below:
