What The Peacemaker Season 2 Footage Means For The Show

The DC Universe Is About To Begin

Recently, Gunn revealed that Peacemaker season 2 filming was still underway, but getting closer to the finish line. That is likely one of the many reasons why Max was finally able to showcase some footage from the new season, but it is also coming at a very interesting time. At the time of this story's publication, the Creature Commandos TV show is less than a month away from making its premiere on Max, marking the official beginning of the DC Universe.

One of the key players in Creature Commandos will be Frank Grillo's Rick Flag Sr., father of the deceased Rick Flag Jr., a storyline that will actually get addressed in the new DC Universe. As Flag Sr. will be in Peacemaker season 2, with Grillo reprising his Creature Commandos character in live-action, the new footage is also a good reminder for DC Universe viewers that the animated Max show will be crucial to watch, since it will likely set up why he is in Peacemaker. This is clever marketing to help inform viewers that the new DC Universe timeline will definitely be connected across TV and film.

Peacemaker Season 2 Should Be Very Exciting

From what was seen in the first glimpse of Peacemaker season 2, the new episodes look to be just as fun and wild as season 1 was. How Peacemaker fits into the DC Universe timeline will definitely be a fascinating storyline to follow, as Gunn has been keeping things under wraps on that front. With Peacemaker season 2 confirmed to take place after the events of Superman, more news about its actual Max premiere in 2025 will hopefully be revealed early next year.
