What The Peacemaker Season 2 Trailer Reveals
Peacemaker Season 2 Will Tackle Alternative Dimensions
After Cena’s Peacemaker was one oftheSupermanmovie cameos, and how the film explored pocket universes,it’s not a shock that thePeacemakerseason 2 trailer puts an even bigger emphasis on the concept, especially to help justify how the HBO Max series ties into the larger DCU. Based on the footage, it appears thatPeacemakerseason 2 will tackle at least a couple of realities.
Another major plot point that thePeacemakerseason 2 trailer is setting up is Cena’s character looking to transition into becoming a proper superhero. However, his previous actions will haunt him in the new season,with Frank Grillo’s Rick Flag Sr. looking to get revenge after Peacemaker killed his son, Rick Flag Jr. (Joel Kinnaman) inThe Suicide Squad.
