Peacemaker: James Gunn Teases John Cena vs. Batman in DCU
James Gunn wants to see John Cena's fight Batman in the DCU. Gunn and Peter Safran's DCU officially kicked off last December with the animated Creature Commandos series. Gunn's Superman movie is now being released in United States theaters next month before Peacemaker Season 2, which is part of the new shared DC universe, arrives in August 2025. At CCXPMX 25 this past weekend, per ComicBookMovie, Cena and Gunn were both asked who they'd like to see Cena's Christopher Smith character fight at some point in the DCU. While Cena didn't have an answer, Gunn said that he wants Peacemaker to fight Batman at some point. At this time, it's not clear who will be playing the Dark Knight in the DCU, as no official casting announcement has been made. A Batman movie titled The Brave and the Bold is currently in the works and is being directed by The Flash's Andy Muschietti, though there haven't been a lot of substantial announcements since that project in some time. Peacemaker Season 2, meanwhile, premieres on HBO Max on August 21, 2025. The season will have eight episodes in total. '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,' the official logline reads. Along with Cena, the cast of Peacemaker Season 2 includes Danielle Brooks as Leota Adebayo, Freddie Stroma as Adrian Chase/Vigilante, Jennifer Holland as Emilia Harcourt, Steve Agee as John Economos, Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr., Sol Rodríguez as Sasha Bordeaux, Tim Meadows as Langston Fleury, Michael Rooker as Red St. Wild, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Nathan Filion as Guy Gardner, and Sean Gunn as Maxwell Lord.

PEACEMAKER Season 2: First Look at Michael Rooker's Wild New Character Revealed — GeekTyrant
Michael Rooker is back in James Gunn's DC playground, but this time, he's taking on an entirely new character in Peacemaker Season 2, and Eagly might want to start watching his back. Rooker, a regular in Gunn's cinematic universe from Guardians of the Galaxy to The Suicide Squad to voicing a role in Creature Commandos , was expected to appear in Peacemaker eventually. What we didn't expect? That he'd be cast as Eagly's nemesis… Red St. Wild, and we have a first look at the character. Gunn shared with Entertainment Weekly: 'His name is Red St. Wild, and he's the world's foremost eagle hunter who is on a mission to kill Eagly. We thought Eagly was probably the most popular character from season 1, and so in season 2, he has his own story with his nemesis, played by none other than the despicable Michael Rooker.' Rooker looks awesome in the role as a rugged, heavily costumed character who definitely gives off 'professional eagle hunter' vibes. Also joining the cast is Tim Meadows as Langston Fleury, a new A.R.G.U.S. agent who's apparently filling the show's 'jerk quota' now that Peacemaker himself has mellowed out a bit. Gunn said of the character: 'In a lot of ways, Peacemaker has changed a lot this season. He's a much softer guy, he's a much nicer guy, he's less in your face and less obnoxious and less aggressive. 'He has changed as a human being, so Langston Fleury actually takes up a lot of being a total asshole in the same way Peacemaker was [last season]. 'He's a very politically incorrect asshole throughout most of the season, and also an incredibly funny guy.' With Eagly getting a full-blown arch-nemesis and Meadows stepping in as a new chaos agent, Peacemaker Season 2 is shaping up to be just as off-the-wall, if not more, than the first. Check out the stills from the new season at the links below, and prepare yourself… the eagle war is coming. Peacemaker Season 2 premieres Thursday, August 21st on Max.

James Gunn reveals chronological timeline of upcoming DC shows and movies — here's what you need to know
"Creature Commandos" has come and gone, "Superman" is right around the corner and "Peacemaker" season 2 is coming not long after that. So it makes sense to start asking questions about when in the DCU timeline these shows and movies all take place. This is especially true when you account for the fact that, while Zach Snyder's "Snyderverse" DC movies (also known as the DC Extended Universe) aren't part of James Gunn's DCU, 2021's "The Suicide Squad" technically exists in the DCU and DCEU, as does the first season of "Peacemaker." Thankfully, Gunn has stepped in to clarify the matter. In response to a question on Threads, a fan asked the DC Studios CEO about the potentially convoluted timeline. "On HBO Max," asked Threads user @torinhl, "will you create a DCU timeline like how Disney+ has one for the MCU so you can watch in chronological order?" Whether or not Gunn will ever do such a thing is still a mystery, as he never answered the question's main query. But he did reveal that, lucky for us, the DCU's potentially convoluted timeline isn't actually convoluted at all. "As of now it's basically as the movies and shows come out," Gunn responded. "Although of course some of these feature flashbacks — 'Creature Commandos,' 'Superman,' 'Peacemaker,' 'Lanterns,' 'Supergirl.' So there you have it! If you want to watch the DCU shows and movies in chronological order, you can just watch them by release date order. They're currently the same, and according to Gunn's comments, will remain that way until at least the release of "Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow" in theaters on June 26, 2026. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. In case you need a refresher, here's the current chronological timeline of DC shows and movies, based on Gunn's comments: Malcolm has been with Tom's Guide since 2022, and has been covering the latest in streaming shows and movies since 2023. He's not one to shy away from a hot take, including that "John Wick" is one of the four greatest films ever made. Here's what he's been watching lately:

Superman trailer hidden buzz: Netizens speculate Robert Pattinson's 'Batman may join the DCU due to THIS scene
A fleeting moment in the latest 'Superman' trailer has stirred up fresh speculation about whether Matt Reeves ' 'The Batman' franchise might secretly tie into James Gunn's expanding DC Universe. While the new footage largely centres on showcasing David Corenswet 's Superman and introducing characters like Metamorpho, the Engineer, Guy Gardner, and Ultraman, one rare, minute detail has caught fans' attention: a news headline in the background referring to 'major floods causing suffering.' social media buzz Some viewers are linking this to the devastating Gotham City flood caused by the Riddler in The Batman (2022), suggesting a potential connection between the two superheroes' worlds. Although no official confirmation about such a crossover has been released by the creators, fans can't stop buzzing about the possibility. The trailer also delves deeper into the dynamics of Clark Kent and Lois Lane's relationship, while establishing that Superman will challenge the very idea of a superhero in this iteration of the DCU. Facing resistance from both villains like Lex Luthor and existing members of the superhero community, Corenswet's Superman appears to be entering a world already populated with extraordinary figures. Guy Gardner's presence hints at the Lanterns' upcoming DCU project, while Hawkgirl's inclusion subtly suggests Hawkman's existence. Rick Flag Jr.'s appearance directly connects to Creature Commandos. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Memperdagangkan CFD Emas dengan salah satu spread terendah?

As Gunn himself has stated, 'It's certainly not the plan' to bring Robert Pattinson 's version of the Dark Knight into the DCU fold. Peter Safran echoed the sentiment, explaining that 'it's imperative' for a new Batman to emerge in The Brave and the Bold, a project set within the official DCU timeline. The first glimpse of this new Batman reportedly came in Creature Commandos, while Reeves is pressing ahead with his own trilogy. The Batman – Part II is scheduled for 2027, with a third instalment also in the works. Director Andy Muschietti has reassured fans that careful planning is underway to avoid overlap or creative collision between the two Batman versions. Parallel Paths The decision to keep the two Batman timelines separate may ultimately benefit both creative teams. Reeves' gritty, noir-style storytelling stands apart from the interconnected, superhero-filled landscape James Gunn is building. If Reeves were required to adapt to fit a shared universe, it could dilute his carefully curated vision. Likewise, the DCU needs a more adaptable Batman who can fluidly exist alongside Superman, Wonder Woman, and other larger-than-life characters.
