PEACEMAKER Season 2 Image Features a Monstrous New Character; New Synopsis Released
James Gunn is taking things to another level in Peacemaker Season 2, and we’ve got our first look at a wild new addition to the DC series.
Den of Geek shared new behind-the-scenes images from the upcoming season, and one of them features Gunnstanding in front of a rubber-suited monster, and it’s holding a little rat-like thing in his arm.
The mysterious creature that looks like something straight out of a sci-fi horror flick. I have no idea who or what this is, so go ahead and let your theories fly! Whatever it is, chances are this new creature is going to make life even more complicated for Christopher Smith aka Peacemaker and his ragtag team.
Along with the image, WB and Max also dropped a new synopsis that teases where the story is heading this season: “In season 2, Peacemaker discovers an alternate world where life is everything he wishes it could be. But this discovery also forces him to face his traumatic past and take the future into his own hands.”
The previous description adds: “The new season follows Christopher ‘Chris’ Smith, aka Peacemaker, the vigilante Super Hero as he struggles to reconcile his past with his newfound sense of purpose while continuing to kick righteous evil-doer butt in his misguided quest for peace at any cost.”
Sounds like we’re diving deep into multiversal chaos this time around. Gunn confirmed as much in a recent interview, saying:
"People are realizing that Peacemaker Season Two is about two dimensions, and that’s really the core of the show. But it’s not as if one of these is old DCEU and one’s DCU. That’s dealt with in a different way, very upfront in a season where most everything in Season One is canon and some things are not.
And in fact, I did a podcast with [actors] Steve Agee and Jen Holland. And we did every episode of Peacemaker, and in those episodes, I talk about what’s canon and what’s not. I basically chip off little things from Peacemaker Season One that aren’t canon, like Aquaman. But most of the stuff is canon."
So,we’re getting alternate realities, canon shake-ups, and a wild-looking new monster in the mix. If Season 1 was wild, Season 2 is shaping up to be absolutely insane.
