James Gunn Says Season 2 Of ‘Peacemaker’ Has Wrapped Filming

Comic book fans still aren’t sure exactly how James Gunn’s rebooted DC Universe will round out and which characters will be invited to join his new Superman and friends, but if rumors are to be believed, John Cena’s Peacemaker will be included as the second season of the series has just wrapped filming.

On Monday (Nov. 25), James Gunn excitedly announced that Season 2 of the popular DC series is officially in the can and took to X to express how much he loved the team behind it writing, “And that is a WRAP on #Peacemaker season 2, including our last remaining actors Steve Agee, Tim Meadows, Sol Rodriguez & Brandon Stanley (& our DP Sam McCurdy pictured here moments after the last shot.) Thanks to our entire cast & crew who made this a wonderful experience. My relief to have a break from shooting after ten months straight is countered by how much I’ll miss all of you!”

In an earlier post, Gunn praised John Cena himself for the performance he put in as the character posting a pic of himself with Cena saying, “And that’s a #Peacemaker Season Two wrap on @JohnCena &@jennlholland, who both turned in wonderful performances this season as Christopher Smith and Emilia Harcourt. To top it off, shooting yesterday was one of the most fun days of shooting I have EVER had! Thanks to the incredible people of Savannah, Georgia for making the Peacemaker crew’s stay here so special.”

Looks like John Cena’s Peacemaker might actually be meeting David Corenswet’s Superman at some point in the future especially since Deadline is reporting that they’ll have a specific character connecting both franchises.

Per Deadline:

Season 2 of the HBO series will welcome Frank Grillo to the cast. Grillo will play Rick Flag Sr. in live-action form. Grillo first voiced the animated version of his character in the Max animated series Creature Commandos.

“This isn’t just a good guy, not at all,” Gunn told EW recently. “We see all different sides of his character. He is morally a complex human being. Grillo is somebody who I’ve known for a little while, and I’ve wanted to work with him for a long time. He was one of the first people that I talked to when I took over the studio, like ‘we’re going to find something cool for you,’ and now he is everywhere.”

Interestingly enough, Gunn also teased the inclusion of a new character in Season 2 of Peacemaker, posting a picture of someone near a campfire with a caption that read, “Who might this be? #Peacemaker.”
