From Comic-Con: 'Peacemaker 'Season 2 Promises More Action, Humor & Surprises

Got some news from San Diego Comic-Con, and wow — DC Studios made a huge splash in Hall H, taking over the spot Marvel usually owns. The highlight?

The first look at Peacemaker Season 2! James Gunn was on stage, and the energy was electric — especially when moderator Joshua Horowitz pointed out that this was Gunn’s first appearance since Superman, prompting a huge cheer from the crowd. It’s clear everyone’s been waiting for this.

The new trailer dropped some serious bombs: John Cena’s Christopher Smith is exploring a parallel dimension that’s just like ours but even better — he’s hanging out with Jennifer Holland’s Harcourt, and things are getting more complex.

Meanwhile, Frank Grillo’s Rick Flag Sr. is back, trying to shut down the portal in a face-off with Peacemaker. Gunn emphasized that this season isn’t about characters staying static; it’s about growth, regression, and real change. Peacemaker is dealing with his demons from Season 1, and the world isn’t exactly welcoming him as a hero anymore.

The trailer also teased appearances from Green Lantern/Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion), Hawkgirl/Kendra Saunders (Isabel Merced), and Maxwell Lord (Sean Gunn) — all grilling Peacemaker for an interview with the Justice League.

Plus, we got a sneak peek of Harcourt kicking butt in a bar — Gunn called it his favorite set day so far — and Felicity Holland teased doing a Dirty Dancing lift in the opening credits.

Season 1 ended with Chris saving the world from alien butterflies and pondering life on his stoop next to his racist dad’s ghost. Now, he’s trying to reconcile his past with his new purpose — while still kicking evil butt at any cost.

The new season drops August 21 on HBO Max, and I can’t wait to see how Gunn continues to evolve these characters.

This panel was pure adrenaline for fans of DC and Gunn’s unique brand of chaos. Mark your calendars — Peacemaker Season 2 hits HBO Max on August 21!
