John Cena made his debut as Christopher Smith, aka Peacemaker, in James Gunn's The Suicide Squad, before going on to headline his own spin-off series. Peacemaker was a big success for Warner Bros./DC, and a second season is currently in production for the Max streaming service.
Gunn has already confirmed that Peacemaker season 2 will be set after the events of Superman Legacy, and that the movie will "have an impact" on the show. Does this mean we can expect to see Smith or some other Peacemaker characters appear in the Dcu Man of Steel reboot?
Cena was asked about the possibility of showing up in future Dcu projects during an appearance at Comicpalooza, and while he brilliantly evaded the question, his response did seem to suggest that he may know a little more than he's willing to divulge.

DC’s release slate has been at a standstill ever since James Gunn’s announcement about Dcu’s first live-action film, Superman. His pet project, Peacemaker suffers too under Gunn’s self-impositions as the series’ Season 2 remains held up at Max until Superman is officially released worldwide.

With all the recent developments that have been happening with the Cbm studio, it isn’t too surprising that Zachary Levi’s Shazam! has been suspended until further notice as well. However, one unexpected update from the film’s young cast member has thrown all of the plans into disarray as fans scramble to decipher the meaning behind Asher Angel’s cryptic message on X (formerly Twitter).

Marvel actor and all-around badass Frank Grillo is trading his crossbones for stars and stripes after joining the cast of Peacemaker Season 2 for DC. Grillo is lacing up his boots to play Rick Flag Sr. for the sophomore season of James Gunn’s superhero series, starring John Cena as Christopher “Chris” Smith, aka Peacemaker. Rick Flag Sr. is the father of Rick Flag Jr., played by Joel Kinnaman in David Ayer’s Suicide Squad and Gunn’s The Suicide Squad. Cena’s Peacemaker killed Rick Flag Jr. in The Suicide Squad, leading me to think it’s time for revenge.
Before Grillo’s Rick Flag Sr. appears in Peacemaker Season 2, he’ll debut in animated form in the upcoming Max series Creature Commandos. The monster-centric animated series revolves around a black ops team working for Viola Davis’s Amanda Waller.

James Gunn is currently on a tight and hectic schedule working on both Superman and Peacemaker Season 2. With both hands full and timetable loaded, fans have felt deeply concerned about the filmmaker and the fate of the two projects.
John Cena in Peacemaker
The director addressed this query on his social media platform, and it seems he is devoting more time for Superman while still making visible progress on the Peacemaker sequel. It is a tough job to handle two different projects and develop them at the same time, but that seems to be the thrill and joy of it.

Chris Pratt and James Gunn are pretty good friends after having worked together in MCU’s Guardians of the Galaxy movies. They pretty much have been through thick and thin, battling the extensive negative criticism before the movie’s release to Gunn’s dismissal from the last movie following a series of resurfaced tweets.

Another thing share in common and makes them bond is their sense of humor. The result of which was the wedding speech that Gunn wrote for Pratt to read at his wedding. A hilarious monologue, it left the audience in fits of laughter and Pratt embarrassed for he was forced to acknowledge how much prettier Gunn’s wife was in comparison to his.

Get ready to taste it all over again. James Gunn took to Instagram over the weekend to confirm that Peacemaker season 2 is now filming its first episode, which he later clarified was a Saturday “pre-shoot.“

A post shared by James Gunn (@jamesgunn)
Just like the first season, James Gunn has written every episode of Peacemaker season 2, but he won’t be able to direct as many this time around as he’s in the midst of directing Superman. “Yes, I’ve written all the episodes; but, no, in the interest of getting the show out there I won’t be able to direct them all (only some),” Gunn said last month. He added that that will be “three other great directors joining me for the season.“

James Gunn shared a helmet selfie on Instagram to announce the production of Peacemaker season 2 has now started.
James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad was excellent. Then again, he had already helmed two great Guardians Of The Galaxy films, not to mention the hilarious Super, so we knew he’d be able to juxtapose the violence and the humour well.
When it was announced (and teased at the end of The Suicide Squad) that John Cena’s Peacemaker would be getting his own spin-off TV show, fans were cautiously excited but also a little worried about how the character would translate into a longer format.
Well, Peacemaker, which debuted in 2022 was a hoot. From the wonderfully bonkers opening credits, which saw the entire cast do an extravagant dance number, to the even more bonkers narrative, the series was much better than anyone was expecting.

The first chapter, ‘Gods & Monsters,’ was announced, with ‘Creature Commandos’ being its inaugural project. However, ‘Superman: Legacy’ is set to unofficially kickstart the new Dcu. Notably, ‘Peacemaker’ Season 2 will transition from Dceu to the new Dcu, with Gunn ensuring it fits seamlessly into the canon.
Gunn recently confirmed that ‘Peacemaker’ Season 2 and ‘Waller’ will be filmed simultaneously. According to Pwinsider, John Cena will be occupied from June to November 2024 with shooting the second season. Cena will be filming in the Atlanta area during this time, with production expected to wrap up around Thanksgiving.

James Gunn has been a consistent filmmaker producing many fine works over the years. After his two acclaimed indie films, Slither and Super, Gunn transitioned to big-budget filmmaking with the Guardians of the Galaxy films in the MCU. Before he became the head of DC Studios, he even made some of the best DC projects, including The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker.

Despite Gunn’s films being loved by fans, there is one aspect that they have been complaining about in the past few years. The director has been including his wife Jennifer Holland in some of his recent projects, and some have accused him of promoting nepotism. Gunn clapped back at those haters in a social media post where he made fun of their constant complaints.

With the debut of ‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,’ the Dceu gracefully bows out, paving the way for Gunn’s and Safran’s Dcu to take the reins. For the past year, it’s been clear that the Dcu will emulate the successful structure of the MCU, with planned phases or “chapters.” The inaugural chapter, ‘Gods & Monsters,’ was announced, with ‘Creature Commandos’ leading the charge. However, Gunn has revealed that ‘Superman: Legacy’ will serve as the unofficial launch of this new era.
One significant transition involves ‘Peacemaker,’ shifting from the Dceu to the freshly established Dcu. Gunn has assured fans that ‘Peacemaker’ Season 2, already in the works, will seamlessly integrate into the Dcu canon, promising a smooth transition and clarity for viewers.

With the release of ‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom’ Dceu was finally retired and Gunn’s and Safran’s Dcu took over. We’ve known for a year up to this point that Dcu will closely follow the example set by the MCU and that the cinematic universe will consist of several phases or rather “chapters.” The first such chapter in the Dcu was announced to be ‘Gods & Monsters.’ The first project released as a part of ‘Gods & Monsters’ will be ‘Creature Commandos’ but Gunn already stated that ‘Superman: Legacy’ will be the unofficial start of the new Dcu.
Now, one notable project will be transferred from Dceu into the newly established Dcu, and that’s ‘Peacemaker.’ ‘Peacemaker’ Season 2 was already confirmed to be in development when Gunn clarified that the show will be canon to the Dcu and that he will make it work in a way that...

With the debut of ‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,’ the Dceu era concluded, making way for Gunn’s and Safran’s Dcu to take the reins. For a year leading up to this moment, it had been anticipated that the Dcu would closely emulate the successful model of the MCU, featuring distinct phases or “chapters.” The inaugural chapter in the Dcu, titled ‘Gods & Monsters,’ was officially announced, with ‘Creature Commandos’ being the first project under its banner. However, Gunn has revealed that ‘Superman: Legacy’ will serve as the informal starting point for the new Dcu.
A noteworthy development is the migration of the ‘Peacemaker’ project from the Dceu to the freshly established Dcu.

Confirmation of ‘Peacemaker’ Season 2’s development came in February 2022, amid significant changes as the Dceu transitioned into the Dcu under Gunn and Safran’s leadership. With numerous projects scheduled for release in phase 1, titled “Gods & Monsters,” fans have eagerly anticipated the placement of ‘Peacemaker’ in this evolving landscape.
Despite an extended pre-production phase, the cast, led by John Cena as Peacemaker, remained remarkably consistent. Steve Agee portrayed John Economos, the warden at Belle Reve Penitentiary, while Danielle Brooks embodied Leota Adebayo, a key member of the Suicide Squad. Jennifer Holland took on the role of Emilia Harcourt, an A.R.G.U.S. agent closely involved with the Squad, and Freddie Stroma played Vigilante, a character known for his inclination towards lethal justice.

‘Peacemaker’ Season 2 was confirmed to be in development in February 2022. Since then, a lot has changed, the most drastic change definitely being Dceu transitioning into Dcu under the leadership of Gunn and Safran. While a lot of projects are scheduled to be released as a part of phase 1, aptly titled “Gods & Monsters,” fans have long wondered where Peacemaker’ fits into it all.
We know that the show was in pre-production for a long time, and the cast remained pretty much consistent. John Cena stars as Peacemaker, a government agent committed to achieving peace at any cost. Steve Agee plays John Economos, the warden at Belle Reve Penitentiary. Danielle Brooks portrays Leota Adebayo, a member of the Suicide Squad. Jennifer Holland is Emilia Harcourt, an A.R.G.U.S. agent closely working with the Squad. Freddie Stroma takes on the role of Vigilante, a character with a penchant for lethal justice.

The Dceu (DC Extended Universe) era of DC Comics film and TV adaptations has come to an end, making way for the Dcu (DC Universe) that’s going to be overseen by producers James Gunn and Peter Safran… but there is one Dceu project that’s going to make the transition between universes: the Max TV series Peacemaker, which was created by Gunn and serves as a spin-off from his Dceu film The Suicide Squad. Although season 1 of the show was produced during the Dceu era, Gunn is going to make season 2 part of the Dcu era, right after he makes his Dcu Superman movie Superman: Legacy. Interacting with fans on Threads, Gunn promised that Peacemaker shifting from Dceu to Dcu isn’t going to be confusing.

With the release of "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3" in the rearview mirror, James Gunn is going to be more focused on his new job as the co-head of DC Studios. Yes, Gunn is moving from Marvel to DC after nearly a decade and, what's more, he's going to be personally directing "Superman: Legacy," which will be the big coming out party for the new DC Universe he and Peter Safran are putting together. Gunn has also confirmed that several actors he's worked with in the Marvel Cinematic Universe will be coming with him to the Dcu.
On Twitter, Gunn was responding to some fan questions and someone asked if any of the "Guardians of the Galaxy" actors will be appearing in "Superman: Legacy." Gunn simply replied "yes," offering no further context whatsoever. Time to speculate recklessly! (Though applying some actual logic as well so we're not letting this devolve into meaningless nonsense.

We blasted off into the Marvel Cinematic Universe‘s cosmos for what’s supposed to be a final hurrah for the team first assembled in 2014, and it was a who’s who of returning favorites and new faces in this new offering.
As with any MCU outing, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 was stuffed to bursting with Easter eggs and cameos. Alongside the welcome return of Sylvester Stallone’s Stakar Ogord and Seth Green’s Howard the Duck, there’s even a role for Gunn’s wife and Peacemaker star, Jennifer Holland. Still, there’s a sense that Marvel ultimately wasted one actor that really could’ve had major potential.

It’s been known for quite some time now that DC was handing over the reins of their upcoming television and movie projects to James Gunn. After the lack of success from the Snyderverse and the constant badgering for change from fans on the Internet, DC finally decided to let Gunn give it his best go. However, it was announced just a couple of months ago that the four upcoming DC movies would all still be getting released and would be considered part of Gunn’s new Dcu.

Zachary Levi took to Instagram to clarify that he doesn’t blame Dwyane Johnson — or anyone — for nixing the originally planned post-credits scene in Shazam! Fury of the Gods, which would’ve seen Justice Society of America members inviting the sequel’s title character to join their group.
On Tuesday, Levi seemed to call out Johnson after a story from The Wrap reported that the Black Adam star blocked Justice Society characters from appearing in the Shazam! sequel and shot down the possibility of a Levi cameo in his movie. In his Instagram Story, the Chuck alum shared a post mentioning the reporting and added “The truth shall set you free.”
“I may or may not have, you know, reposted something in my Stories about a story that I had nothing to do with that [The Wrap] had reported on, and then I got flack about it because people were saying ‘Oh,...

Zachary Levi is having the last word on the “Shazam! Fury of the Gods” post-credits scene.
Levi claimed in an Instagram post that a sequence in which his title superhero character is asked to join the Justice Society was changed. Levi’s comments come amid rumors that “Black Adam” star and producer Dwayne Johnson blocked actors Quintessa Swindell and Aldis Hodge from reprising their respective roles as Cyclone and Hawkman in the slated “Shazam!” scene. Jennifer Holland and Steve Agee instead play their “Peacemaker” and “The Suicide Squad” roles as the recruiters to the Justice Society.
Johnson’s Black Adam will not be included in the Dcu moving forward amid the restructuring of the franchise under co-heads Peter Safran and James Gunn.
Levi reposted a report from The Wrap alleging Johnson’s involvement in having the post-credits scene was altered. Levi captioned, “The truth will set you free” in the Instagram Stories repost.

Almost a week after “Shazam!

In a video, the actor confirmed that plans for the “Fury of the Gods” post-credits scene — in which Shazam is recruited to join the Justice Society — were “thwarted,” although he did not say by who.
A report from The Wrap published after “Fury of the God’s” opening weekend claimed that Dwayne Johnson sabotaged the “Shazam” post-credits scene by blocking “Black Adam” characters Cyclone (Quintessa Swindell) and Hawkman (Aldis Hodge) from appearing in it. Johnson headlined “Black Adam” and aimed to start a new thread of the DC Universe built around his character facing off against Henry Cavill’s Superman. “Black Adam” also underperformed at the box office, and both Johnson and...

"Shazam! Fury of the Gods" has the unenviable task of opening during an unprecedented creative limbo. Is it the last shakes of the Dceu death rattle, or will these characters stick around for the soft-rebooted Dcu? Whatever cinematic universe it officially belongs to, it's an action-packed, fun adventure flick. The first one delighted fans and critics with its mix of "Big" meets "Superman." There's still plenty of that residual charm here, even when the big CGI battles take over.
Two years after the first movie's events, the Shazamily's day-to-day crime-fighting antics are about to escalate when three ticked-off deities, aka the Daughters of Atlas, appear — Hespera (Helen Mirren), Kalypso (Lucy Liu), and Anthea (Rachel Zegler). Miffed that the Wizard (Djimon Hounsou) bestowed the power of the gods to children, they vow to reclaim that power and rebuild the Gods' Realm, even if...

"Shazam! Fury of the Gods" is finally in theaters, and it's caught in a curious and unenviable position. On the one hand, the original "Shazam!" was always outside of the core "Snyderverse" films in both plot and tone, so it isn't clearly in the crosshairs of James Gunn and Peter Safran's big DC Studios reset. On the other hand, more "Shazam!" hasn't thus far been announced as part of the initial DC Universe slate. It's an ambiguous state that really makes one wonder what the future might hold for the red-suited, lightning-bolt-adorned, non-Flash hero.
At the same time, since "Shazam!" isn't off the table for the new DC movie universe, "Fury of the Gods" does have a pair of post-credits sequences that could have some impact on Gunn and Safran's DC plans (plus a blink-and-you'll-miss-it extra credit detail). Let's look at what they are, what they mean for "Shazam! Fury of the Gods,...

[This story contains spoilers for Shazam! Fury of the Gods.]
After joining the Dceu in 2017, Shazam! Fury of the Gods director David F. Sandberg is ready to hang up his cape.
With the second chapter of the Shazamily’s adventures now in theaters, the Swedish filmmaker is finally able to open up about one of the highlights of his entire experience. Of course, that would be Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman cameo, which he actually directed remotely from home. The chance to properly include a member of the Justice League also made up for Henry Cavill’s Superman cameo that didn’t pan out on 2019’s Shazam!, resulting in a headless Superman cameo.
But because of that prior disappointment, Sandberg still expected the worst to happen with Gadot.
“[Wonder Woman] was always supposed to be in [Shazam! Fury of the Gods], but I didn’t believe it was going to happen because of what happened...

[Editor’s note: Spoilers ahead for both “Shazam! Fury of the Gods” and its post-credits scenes.]
Well, here’s a pickle. Generally, when we write about the post-credits scenes that wind down big blockbusters, the intention is to a) explain them in their current context and b) posit how they might impact their franchises going forward. Typically, that’s an easy enough ask, but given the current state of the DC Universe, attempting to explain how the pair of post-credits scenes in David F. Sandberg’s “Shazam! Fury of the Gods” fits into a cinematic universe that may no longer include the warm-hearted teen superhero and his powered-up family feels mighty complicated.
Before James Gunn and Peter Safran officially relaunch the DC Universe with the 2025 release of Gunn’s own “Superman: Legacy,” a handful of DC films are still primed for release. Those films, including “Shazam! Fury of the Gods,” were designed as part of previous franchise...
