‘Peacemaker’ Season Two Stars Production As James Gunn Shares Helmet Image

After a hiatus of over two years since the conclusion of its inaugural season, Peacemaker is back in action with season two, gearing up to deliver another thrilling installment of episodes.

DC Studios co-chairman and co-CEO James Gunn shared a selfie on Instagram over the weekend, capturing his reflection in Peacemaker’s iconic headgear. Gunn captioned the image “Day 1 S2. 🧜‍♂️,” including a mermaid emoji, a subtle nod to the show’s fans. In the first season, Vigilante (Freddie Stroma) expressed his fondness for the emoji, describing it as symbolizing a range of emotions from happiness to sadness and everything in between.

James Gunn served as the creator and director of the inaugural season of the Max superhero series, featuring John Cena in the lead role of the fierce yet emotionally complex Peacemaker. Alongside Cena, the first season boasted a talented ensemble cast including Danielle Brooks, Chukwudi Iwuji, Jennifer Holland, Steve Agee, and Robert Patrick, who portrayed Peacemaker’s father, White Dragon.

Following the conclusion of Season 1, Gunn engaged in a discussion with Variety, shedding light on his overarching vision for the character and the trajectory of his journey.

“The most important thing for me in the first season was who Peacemaker was and where was he going,” he said. “What was his personal journey? The Butterflies and the plot and all of that is secondary to who he was as a character and what his changes were, as well as the other characters and where they began and where they end, because they all have little changes for themselves — with the exception of Vigilante, who’s sort of a straight line the whole time. So I know where Peacemaker starts and where he ends, but I’m playing with other ideas around that and how that’s gonna play out.”
