Max has released a new trailer for Peacemaker Season 2, and it ramps up the Superman connections by featuring Maxwell Lord, Hawkgirl, and Guy Gardner all in the very first scene.
The trailer kicks off with Sean Gunn as Maxwell Lord, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner / Green Lantern, and Isabela Merced as Kendra Saunders / Hawkgirl interviewing, dismissively, John Cena’s Peacemaker for some sort of superhero team. It’s fair to say the interview does not go well, and Peacemaker looks dejected after storming out of the building.
These are fresh looks at a few of the supporting characters who are set to appear in James Gunn’s Superman movie.
Achieving peace is a team effort.

Peacemaker Season 2 arrives on August 21 after the July 11 release of Superman as the third entry in the DCU (the Creature Commandos TV series officially kicked things off late last year).
The revamped cinematic universe from Gunn and co-CEO Peter Safran moves away from the widely panned DC Extended Universe, headlined by Justice League, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and Man of Steel, but some elements will remain.
Peacemaker is a key example of this, as Season 1 of the show arrived in the scrapped DCEU, while Season 2 arrives in the new DCU.
Gunn has said previously that “many strands will remain consistent as far as Peacemaker’s story goes,” though it remains unclear what will and won’t make the jump from DCEU to DCU. He has confirmed all of Team Peacemaker return with the same actors, meaning John Cena in the leading role will be joined by the likes of Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr., Freddie Stroma as Adrian Chase, and Danielle Brooks as Leota Adebayo.
Gunn has also said the show will canonically take place after the events of Creature Commandos and Superman, with the events of the latter even affecting Peacemaker.
