James Gunn took down Superman just after 35 days and it is a great strategy to increase the viwership of the upcoming Peacemaker Season 2.

Season 2 of 'Peacemaker,' James Gunn's series about the DC Comics alt-right quasi-hero, focuses on the man underneath the bucket helmet, Chris Smith.

Peacemaker season 2 is all set to bring back the superhero in action on August 21, 2025. Releasing on HBO Max, John Cena's character is in for a tough time in the second installment of the series.

The showrunner and DC Studios co-head premiered the second season of 'Peacemaker' alongside star John Cena in NYC.

Danielle Ryan of SlashFilm also gives the first five episodes a 9 out of 10, saying the brutal fight scenes, killer needle-drops and edgy jokes are still here, but Season 2 dives deeper and darker into the lives of the 11th Street Kids. Ryan says:

With the highly anticipated Season 2 of Peacemaker dropping later this month, on HBO Max, John Cena is shedding some light on why this irreverent anti-hero series holds major weight in the future of the DCU.

When James Gunn and Peter Safran took over the DCU, it was believed that they were mostly hard-resetting the cinematic world – replacing Henry Cavill with David Corenswet as Superman, with more changes planned down the line.

John Cena chats with THR at the 'Peacemaker' season two premiere and reveals it was easy keeping the cameo in 'Superman' a secret! Plus, teases what's ahead in season two and talks about pushing the DCU forward at the show's premiere.
