John Cena Teases Why Peacemaker Is Just as Crucial as Superman in the DCU — GeekTyrant
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. According to Cena, Peacemaker isn't just a side quest anymore. It's now a vital piece of the bigger picture. The first season of Peacemaker spun out of The Suicide Squad and debuted back in January 2022. But this time around, the story is rooted directly within the newly forming DCU canon, which is being shaped by James Gunn and Peter Safran. With characters from 2025's Superman making appearances and Peacemaker himself popping up in that film, the lines connecting these stories are tightening fast. At the Peacemaker Season 2 premiere, Cena spoke with The Hollywood Reporter about what fans should expect and why this season matters more than ever. When asked how the new season plans to 'top' its predecessor, he responded: 'You know what, I don't think it's about topping the last one. I think it's about, especially in the perspective of James [Gunn], and I'm speaking for somebody else now, but I think it's about furthering the narrative, instead of stand-alone properties.' That narrative growth is a key strategy in building the DCU into a more cohesive universe. Cena emphasized this, saying: 'So, you saw as Peacemaker show up in Superman, and I think what you see in Season 2 is just a forward of that narrative, that whole DCU through line.' For fans who've followed the journey of Chris Smith and the ragtag 11th Street Kids, it's exciting to know that their story isn't just continuing, it's evolving right alongside the DCU. 'You get to take the 11th Street Kids through their next adventure, but also contribute a lot to the progression of the DCU.' This furthur strengthens my theory that Peacemaker will be the main player in the DCU that Gunn previously teased. He aid the DCU's central story thread isn't tied to its most obvious heroes. "Yeah, I don't think it's Krypto's story. I think I do know whose story it is, and it probably isn't anyone that anyone would ever expect." I think DCU's secret main character might be Peacemaker, the least likely guy to become the big hero. It would be a cool arc for a character who's become kind of a joke in the DCU. With a cast that includes Jennifer Holland as Emilia Harcourt, Danielle Brooks as Leota Adebayo, and Freddie Stroma as Adrian Chase / Vigilante, Season 2 is set to keep the character-driven chaos rolling while tying into the larger universe Gunn and Safran are building. In this new DCU landscape where continuity matters and stories build on each other, Peacemaker Season 2 is being positioned not just as a returning fan-favorite series, but as a key puzzle piece that holds just as much weight as Superman . Whether you're in it for the laughs, the action, or to see how it all connects, Peacemaker is back and it's not playing second fiddle to anyone.

Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake Season 2 – Release date speculation, cast and plot details
By Aman Shukla Published on August 15, 2025, 18:30 IST Last updated August 15, 2025, 16:35 IST The Adventure Time universe never fails to spark joy, and Fionna and Cake Season 2 has fans practically vibrating with excitement. After a wildly fun first season packed with multiverse shenanigans, heartfelt moments, and that classic Ooo weirdness, everyone's itching to know what's next for Fionna, Cake, and the gang. From release date guesses to who's voicing who and what the story might hold, here's the lowdown on everything buzzing around Season 2. Release Date Speculation: When Will Season 2 Drop? No official premiere date has dropped yet, and the wait is pure torture for fans. Looking at how things went with Season 1, though, some educated guesses can be made. Production for the first season started in August 2021 and wrapped up in time for an August 2023 debut on Max—a two-year process. If Season 2 follows a similar timeline, late 2025 or early 2026 feels like a solid bet. Adam Muto, the showrunner, spilled in 2024 that the team was knee-deep in animatics, with some posts on X hinting at a first look possibly coming at New York Comic-Con in October 2025. That's got fans hopeful for a fall 2025 release, maybe even around September, with episodes dropping weekly. But, let's be real—delays happen. The 2023 Writers Guild strike slowed things down, so a 2026 premiere isn't out of the question. Either way, it'll be worth the wait for more of that Adventure Time magic. Cast: Who's Returning? The voice cast is one of the biggest draws for Fionna and Cake , and Season 2 looks set to bring back the heavy hitters. Madeleine Martin should return as Fionna, the sword-swinging, adventure-loving human who stole hearts in Season 1. Roz Ryan's Cake, the sassy magical cat, is also a safe bet to tag along. Then there's Tom Kenny as Simon Petrikov, whose post-Ice King struggles gave the first season so much emotional weight. The Adventure Time crew loves sprinkling in familiar faces, so expect some returning stars. Donald Glover as Marshall Lee and Andrew Rannells as Gary Prince brought so much charm last time, and fans are crossing fingers they'll be back. Hynden Walch's Princess Bubblegum and Jeremy Shada's Finn are also likely to pop up. A script snippet Roz Ryan shared on Instagram for an episode called 'The Crocodile Who Bit a Log' name-dropped Matthew Broderick as the Spirit Dream Warrior, which has fans buzzing. That said, some roles like Huntress Wizard and Witch Wizard were listed as TBD, stirring up chatter about potential recasting or scheduling hiccups. Remember the mix-up with Kumail Nanjiani's Prismo in Season 1? Hopefully, the team sorts out any casting kinks this time around. Plot Details: What's Next for Fionna and Cake? Season 1 left jaws on the floor with its multiverse-hopping chaos and Fionna's big revelation: her universe is considered an 'abomination' by the Scarab. Talk about an identity crisis! Season 2, spanning 10 episodes, will likely pick up right where things left off, diving into Fionna's quest to figure out who she is and where she fits in this wild multiverse. Cake, as always, will be by her side, probably dishing out witty one-liners and magical mayhem. One big question mark is Prismo's mysterious 'big boss,' teased in Season 1 but never revealed. Fans on X are throwing out theories—could it be a new cosmic entity or someone tied to the Adventure Time lore? The season might also lean into Simon's ongoing arc, though some speculate Huntress Wizard could steal the spotlight. Expect the usual blend of quirky humor, deep feels, and bizarre creatures, with maybe a few new characters shaking things up. Marceline, Finn, and Bubblegum are bound to make appearances, tying the spinoff to its Adventure Time roots. Ahmedabad Plane Crash Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .

Carrie Bradshaw's Story May Be Over, but Her Clothes Live On
Love her or hate her, there is at least one admirable thing about Carrie Bradshaw, the journalist-protagonist of the famed series 'Sex and the City' and its revival, for HBO Max, 'And Just Like That …': No matter the situation, her fashion was undeniable. Kooky, whimsical and often experimental, her wardrobe declared itself in every episode since the pilot of the original series aired on HBO in June 1998, all the way through to the finale of the streaming reboot, which was released on Thursday. Carrie, played by Sarah Jessica Parker, is known for her off-kilter, singular look that became an integral part of the cultural vernacular. And as a result, her closet of curiosities, both figuratively and literally — whether it was the walk-through hallway of her Upper East Side studio apartment or the museum of a wardrobe in her current Gramercy Park townhouse — became its own character. The styling of the other core characters — Charlotte York (Kristin Davis), Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon), Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall) — changed over time, but Carrie's exaggerated skirts and hats and heels and dresses remained one of the show's few constants. In a nod to that, sprinkled throughout the entire three-season run of 'And Just Like That …' were Easter egg references to outfits and accessories from Carrie's past life, whether you noticed them or not. The clearest example arrived in the first episode of the second season of the reboot, in which the characters headed to the Met Gala and Carrie whipped out her history-laden Vivienne Westwood wedding gown, with the addition of a teal cape.
