James Gunn teases Peacemaker Season 2’s importance to the DCU
During a recent interview with THR, Gunn confirmed that the upcoming second season of the John Cena-led superhero series will definitely be playing a huge part on the expansion of the DC Universe. He also teased fans to expect “lots of guest stars” appearing in Season 2, while expressing how excited he is for everyone to see what they’ve got in store.
“It’s a big part, definitely Superman leads directly into Peacemaker; it should be noted that this is for adults, not for children, but Superman leads into this show and then we have the setting up of all of the rest of the DCU in this season of Peacemaker, it’s incredibly important,” Gunn explained.
He continued, “Lots of guest stars coming up, lots of characters that are showing up that we’ve already met in Superman. I don’t think there’s anything that I’ve ever done that I love more than this season of Peacemaker, so I’m so excited for people to see it.”
