Summary
- Max has dropped the official teaser trailer for Peacemaker Season 2 showcasing the return of John Cena as Peacemaker

- The second season premieres on Max this August
John Cena has officially returned and team Peacemaker is in full force. Max drops the first official teaser for the second season of the fan favorite R-rated DC Universe series, Peacemaker.
Created by co-chief James Gunn, the new season’s teaser trailer unleashes a fresh wave of John Cena’s uniquely awkward brand of heroism and a whole lot of action. The teaser, set to a typically upbeat and slightly off-kilter soundtrack, showcases the return of Christopher Smith, aka Peacemaker, as he continues his mission to achieve peace, however violent the means. Familiar faces like Emilia Harcourt (Jennifer Holland) and John Economos (Steve Agee) return, suggesting the core team is back in action, likely under the watchful (and probably exasperated) eye of Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) though her appearance in the season isn’t explicitly confirmed in the teaser.
What’s particularly intriguing is the prominent presence of Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr. The teaser features a tense and brutal confrontation between Peacemaker and Flag Sr., hinting at a significant antagonistic role for the former Suicide Squad leader’s father. Their violent clash suggests a central conflict for the season, potentially exploring themes of legacy, patriotism, and differing ideologies of what “peace” truly entails. Season 2 of Peacemaker is set to premiere on August 21 on the streamer. Watch the trailer above.
