A complete apocalypse was prevented, the cow was slain, and a couple of superheroes were yelled at as they made their way out of the building. And the good news is that Peacemaker will have another opportunity to scream expletives in the future since the show has been officially renewed for a second season.
According to James Gunn, “Peacemaker has been one of the great joys of my life, both professionally and personally.” However, it is not the only comment he has made during season 2. Gunn has been extremely complimentary of the television production process, and he has never concealed his enthusiasm — or his ambitions — for continuing the Peacemaker saga with John Cena in the title role.
As Gunn said to The Hollywood Reporter earlier this year, “Being a TV program, you really do have more time to go much further into these people and much more profoundly into the drama and comedy of them.” “There are a lot of parallels [between it and The Suicide Squad], but it’s even more grounded, more realistic, and more real.
It’s still a part of a larger science-fiction tale that will span for a season at the most. This does not imply that there is only one season of Peacemaker because the main storyline lasts for the entire season.”
So, What Can We Expect From Peacemaker Season 2 and Its Sponsored Show?
With respect to the specifics, Gunn has been tight – on both the outline for season 2 of Peacemaker and the other Suicide Squad spinoff that HBO is developing in partnership with Marvel Television.
“I’m at a loss for words.” I believe it will be set in the same universe as Peacemaker, albeit I do not believe it will be in the same genre as that film. It will not, for example, be a comedy like Peacemaker, but it will be set in the same universe,” Gunn said in an interview with Deadline.
He has stated that he is interested in using Peacemaker to further develop the emotional depth of Chris Smith, which is consistent with his previous statements. After all, is said and done, he decides not to betray his buddies and instead sides with the Butterfly aliens. Furthermore, he remains in the hospital for several days to ensure that Harcourt is okay.
However, despite Holland’s claim that Gunn is not “at a stage where he is disclosing” specifics about what season 2 would bring for Chris Smith, it is evident that Gunn has formed significant ties with his comrades that have caused him to rethink his own blind self-hatred. Furthermore, it’s the type of stuff Gunn believes he can only do on television.

Peacemaker and Harcourt’s romance couldn’t be depicted in a film because Gunn says it would be impossible to express what it is in less than two hours. “It would be impossible,” Gunn says. “However, it is not the nature of our connection. Much more complicated than that,” says the author.
As for Holland, Harcourt’s injuries have set the stage for her to have a lot more problematic connection with her job on the squad, especially given the fact that she will almost certainly be the one to step up and take on the leadership role.
According to Holland, “watching her go through it, going through that period of recovery and learning to walk again, I think she really just gets stripped down to her most human vulnerable state,” which she believes perfectly sets up a new chapter in which Harcourt lets her walls down even more.
“I’d want to see Harcourt have to face herself a little bit more, because I believe she learns certain things about herself throughout the course of the series, and she goes through a little bit of a journey in her own right.”

A new beard, on the other hand, is something Agee is looking forward to. (“I’ll be delighted with whatever he selects.”) I just don’t want to be seen with that unsightly dyed beard anymore when I’m out wandering around town by myself.”) As a starting point, he suggests that a new opening dance routine be implemented: “There are so many people in that dance who are no longer involved with the performance.”

Is Amanda Waller Ever Going to Get What She Want in the Dceu?
Amanda Waller, played by Viola Davis, has lost control of the crew on all three of the missions she has been in charge of. Uncertainty exists as to whether or not she will return in season 2, following her daughter Leota’s public efforts to clear the Peacemaker’s name and reveal the full truth of Operation Butterfly.
However, after losing a battle with the Suicide Squad and (presumably) facing a public inquisition, it’s safe to assume that she’ll return either harsher than before or with even scarier higher-ups on her side of the bargain.
According to Agee, Davis was preoccupied with other projects at the time of the shoot, so her scenes were filmed separately. But he, at the very least, would welcome the return of Davis and Waller to the DCEU.
Although she seems to be coming out on top in everything she does lately, “I believe there is a universe in which she may sort of triumph,” says the author of the book.
