PEACEMAKER Season 2 Theatrical Trailer Confirms Multiverse Shift From DCEU to DCU: “There's Another Dimension"
A new Peacemaker Season 2 trailer was shown exclusively in theaters ahead of Superman, and it teases the show's leap from the now-defunct DCEU into James Gunn’s freshly-minted DCU.
In the teaser, we hear the line:
“There’s another dimension. That’s exactly the same as ours. But it’s better.”
Peacemaker then chimes in with a typical Chris Smith spin:
“Best dimension ever.”
It seems the show will be leaning into the multiverse concept, likely as a way to bridge its DCEU roots with the rebooted DCU. An earlier teaser showed Peacemaker stepping through a portal and facing a variant of himself, which confirmed the use of the Multiverse in the story.
In Superman, Lex Luthor’s experiments begin to tease the existence of alternate realities. It looks like Peacemaker Season 2 is goinh to utlixe that in its stpry.
The season picks up after the events of Superman, placing Peacemaker squarely in this new continuity. Sean Gunn’s Maxwell Lord (introduced briefly in Superman) will interview Peacemaker as a candidate for the “Justice Gang”. Familiar faces from Superman, like Isabela Merced’s Hawkgirl and Nathan Fillion’s Guy Gardner, are also set to appear in the show.
Peacemaker Season 2 will see the return of characters including Freddie Stroma’s unhinged Vigilante, Danielle Brooks’ Leota Adebayo, Steve Agee’s Economos, and Jennifer Holland’s Emilia Harcourt.
The new big bad is Frank Grillo’s Rick Flag Sr., who is out for blood after Peacemaker killed his son in The Suicide Squad. That storyline promises to tie together emotional fallout from the past while moving Peacemaker headfirst into a newly rebooted universe.
Peacemaker Season 2 premieres August 21 on HBO Max.
