With Peacemaker season 2 also becoming part of the DCU timeline, fans have been waiting to see how the former DCEU series carries into James Gunn's new franchise.
Now, DC Studios and Max have officially released the new Peacemaker season 2 trailer, showing Cena's titular character and his team entering the next chapter. Check it out below:

The Peacemaker season 2 poster features Cena's DC character fully suited up, as he and his pet eagle, Eagly, are shown forehead to forehead. Similar to season 1, Peacemaker season 2 will consist of eight episodes.
What The Peacemaker Season 2 Trailer Reveals
One of the biggest takeaways from the Peacemaker season 2 trailer is the appearance of three major Superman cast . While brief, Nathan Fillion's Guy Gardner and Isabela Merced's Hawkgirl are part of Peacemaker's superhero interview for Maxwell Lord, revealing the first look at Sean Gunn's new DCU character. The trailer additionally includes Frank Grillo's Rick Flag Sr., who will also be in Superman - making him the fourth cast member from the film. His hunt for Peacemaker is showcased after the the latter killed Rick Flag Jr. in The Suicide Squad.
While the Peacemaker season 2 trailer is heavily focused on the team finding their place in the world after the events of season 1, a major clue to the DCU universe shift may have finally been unveiled in the footage. Towards the end, Cena's character finds himself confronted by another Peacemaker, who could either be a doppelgänger from another Earth, or a clone, as it's unclear right now who or what Cena's new lookalike character is supposed to be. While not confirmed, Peacemaker season 2 may suggest that the multiverse concept will play a factor in the show's return.
The Peacemaker season 2 footage also gives glimpses of other new cast , including Tim Meadows as ARGUS agent Langston Fleury, and Sol Rodríguez as the Batman-related character Sasha Bordeaux. While never revealing his name, a mystery character who is seen conjuring flames appears to be played by Michael Rooker, who has worked with Gunn on several projects, including the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise. Outside the story beats, the Peacemaker season 2 teaser trailer also shares a lot of the action elements that audiences can expect in the new season.
