DC's Peacemaker Season 2 Teaser: John Cena Back in Action with New Allies and Rivals

Fans of the DC series Peacemaker can finally celebrate, as the highly anticipated second season is set to premiere in 2025. Series creator James Gunn recently shared a teaser on his social media, confirming the return of John Cena's character on the streaming platform Max.

Peacemaker, a spin-off from Gunn's The Suicide Squad, first captivated audiences in January 2022. With its unique take on the antihero genre, the show quickly became a hit, leading to a strong fanbase eagerly awaiting a follow-up. Although season 2 was announced some time ago, it faced delays that left fans speculating. Now, the new teaser has brought excitement back to life, showing snippets of what’s in store.

In the short but intense teaser, viewers catch glimpses of Cena's Peacemaker in action, along with a surprising addition to the cast—Frank Grillo, who takes on the role of Rick Flag Sr. In a brief clip, Grillo’s character appears walking through an office with a badge, adding intrigue to the upcoming storyline. This will be Grillo’s first time in the DC Universe, though fans will also hear his voice in Gunn's animated project, Creature Commandos, before his Peacemaker debut.

One of the most anticipated aspects of season 2 is how Peacemaker’s past, particularly his involvement in the death of Rick Flag Jr. in The Suicide Squad, might affect his journey. The teaser also highlights some familiar faces returning to the screen. Vigilante (played by Freddie Stroma) stands by Peacemaker, guns in hand, while Emilia Harcourt (Jennifer Holland) appears bloodied and intense in a gritty biker bar. The scenes hint at challenges the characters will face together, reinforcing the show’s themes of loyalty and resilience.

In a memorable moment from the teaser, Peacemaker is heard saying, "No matter how far away we are from each other, no one will break us apart," suggesting the group will confront new obstacles that will test their unity and strength.

While an official release date remains unannounced, Peacemaker season 2 promises to be worth the wait. In addition to his Peacemaker return, 2025 will be a significant year for Cena, who has announced his WWE retirement tour.
