Peacemaker Season 2 Star Addresses How The Show Is Different Now That James Gunn Is Overseeing The Whole DC Universe

:0:1

Peacemaker season 2 gets a new update from one of its main stars and how it will work in James Gunn"s DC Universe. While DC Studios is mostly approaching the DCU timeline as a reboot, one DCEU release is making its way over into Gunn"s new superhero franchise, which is the Peacemaker TV show. With Peacemaker season 2 set to premiere on Max this August, many are curious about how the DC TV drama will operate under Gunn"s DCU, with the filmmaker now also operating as the co-CEO for DC Studios.
One of the Peacemaker cast members who will be back for season 2 is Danielle Brooks, who plays Leota Adebayo, and ScreenRant"s Ash Crossan recently caught up with the actress for her new film, A Minecraft Movie, getting an update on her return to the DCU. When Brooks was asked if having Gunn steering the entire DCU franchise changes the vibe of everything with the Peacemaker series, the Academy-Award-nominated star reflected on the transition from season 1 to 2 while also teasing what"s coming up:

Danielle Brooks: You know, when we first did Season 1 of Peacemaker, it was during the pandemic, so we didn’t even do press for it. We didn’t have a premiere. The fans took to it, and they loved it. And now, James is taking over the DC Universe, so I don’t know what’s going to happen with Season 2. I do know that it’s done so well, and I’m excited for the response. I’m excited for the fans to watch it and see it. And I do feel like there’s more… It’s almost like when we were doing Orange Is the New Black on Netflix. We were the first kids to really make Netflix, and I kind of feel that same wave with James Gunn taking over. Peacemaker feels like that cool kid -- one of his first babies in the DCU. So I’m excited to see how that expands and grows. But I can’t wait to see Superman.

What Danielle Brooks' Peacemaker Season 2 Comments Mean Close Even though Peacemaker season 1 was conceived as a spinoff from The Suicide Squad during the DCEU era, the Max series and Gunn"s team-up film were both affected by the global pandemic, meaning both projects weren"t given the same spotlight as they would have during a regular marketing tour. With that in mind, Brooks" comments about how Peacemaker season 2 has a bigger opportunity in comparison to when the show premiered in 2022 are extremely valid, especially as the series now exists in a whole new universe. Peacemaker Season 1 was mostly self-contained until the season finale, where they had several Justice League cameos.
However, with the direction of Peacemaker season 2, they are already setting the stage for crossovers with the overall DCU franchise, particularly since the show is coming back a month after the Superman movie releases in theaters. Brooks" comments about how the new season feels bigger are likely because of Frank Grillo"s Rick Flag Sr. showing up in the Peacemaker season 2 cast, which already showcases the connectivity across Gunn"s DCU franchise. There is also the overall mystery of how Peacemaker season 2 is going to explain how the universe shifts from the DCEU to the DCU.
Our Take On Danielle Brooks' Peacemaker Season 2 Comments

While time will tell what"s happening in the Peacemaker season 2 story, there is a lot to be excited about with Brooks" comments since DC Studios is finally getting closer to the show"s big summer premiere. As Peacemaker season 2 is in post-production, it remains to be seen when DC Studios and Max will release a longer first look at the new season. Hopefully, more Peacemaker season 2 updates will emerge sooner rather than later.
A Minecraft Movie opens in theaters on April 4.
