James Gunn Is Saving a Character For Potential Peacemaker Season 2
This August, John Cena will make his debut as Peacemaker in The Suicide Squad. Regardless, HBO Max didn’t waste any time ordering a Peacemaker solo series for early 2022. While it’s currently unknown if Peacemaker will get more than one season, series creator James Gunn is at least thinking about it. In a recent post on Twitter, Gunn was asked if he was forced to cut any characters from the show. Gunn’s response indicated that there was someone who was left out. However, he’s saving this particular character “for season two.”
Yes. Saving someone for season two…

But don’t get too excited just yet. Gunn followed his initial Tweet with a message reiterating that Peacemaker season 2 is not a go. At least not yet.
Wait a second. I didn’t confirm this at all. Just because I have characters in mind for Season 2 doesn’t mean either HBOMax or John & I have committed to it yet. https://t.co/EXBVzARACw
