Marvel Studios is skipping next month’s San Diego Comic-Con and now, DC Studios will also reportedly refrain from promoting their films at the annual fan con.
“SDCC is two weeks after Superman arrives in theaters, so the company won’t be doing anything on that front. And Supergirl doesn’t hit in theaters until June 26, 2026 so DC Studios is biding its time before making any reveals,” according to The Hollywood Reporter’s Heat Vision newsletter.
THR adds, though, that “DC Studios is going all-in on Peacemaker, the hit John Cena The Suicide Squad spinoff created by DC co-chief James Gunn. Peacemaker will have a big footprint at the convention, a move that signals DC and Max’s confidence in season two, which bows Aug. 21. And, while DC had no comment, there could be a Hall H panel for the show.”
IGN has reached out to DC Studios for comment but had not heard back at time of publish.
If there is a Hall H panel for Peacemaker Season 2 then it would seem plausible that talent potentially attending could include DC Studios bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran and cast members John Cena, Danielle Brooks, Freddie Stroma, Jennifer Holland, Steve Agee, Robert Patrick, Frank Grillo, Sol Rodríguez, David Denman, and Tim Meadows.
If Peacemaker does have a panel at July’s SDCC perhaps the upcoming HBO Max series Lanterns will also be there. The show – starring Kyle Chandler and Aaron Pierre as Hal Jordan and John Stewart, respectively – is currently in production.
We’ll know what DC Studios’ final SDCC plans are closer to when the convention takes place from July 24-July 27.
As revealed in the Peacemaker Season 2 trailer, there are two Peacemakers this season. Gunn and Cena appeared together at CCXP Mexico last week where Gunn said the mystery of how there could be two versions of Christopher Smith will be answered in the new season’s first episode.
Gunn also recently explained how Peacemaker, Season 2 is tied to his Superman movie and other upcoming DCU projects.
“You’ve seen what we call the QUC, the Quantum Unfolding Chamber, in the first season of Peacemaker, and we see more about that technology in Superman,” Gunn said.
“The QUC is the center of the story in Peacemaker season 2. We see a lot of different characters from Superman in the [season], [including] Isabela and Nathan and Sean, and then we see a bunch of other characters later on in the season from other parts of the DCU and from Superman. There might even be one really, really, really big cameo near the end of the show.”
Peacemaker, Season 2 launches on HBO Max on August 21.
