Peacemaker Season 2, featuring John Cena, is all set to arrive on August 21. During its recent premiere event, James Gunn revealed how the show will link future DC Universe (DCU) projects, including the next
Superman movie. The filmmaker shared that he has already completed the story “treatment” for the next chapter, which he calls the “Superman Saga.” While an official release date for the project isn’t confirmed yet, Gunn mentioned that production is expected to begin soon.
Superman Saga Story Treatment Completed
In a conversation with The Hollywood Reporter, the DC boss said, “I’ve already finished the treatment for the next story in what I’ll call the Superman Saga. The treatment is done, which means a very, very worked out treatment. I’m working on that and hopefully going into production on that not too far away from today.”

How Peacemaker Season 2 Connects Upcoming DC Universe:
James Gunn also revealed that Peacemaker Season 2 will play a key role in connecting future stories. According to the filmmaker, “It’s a big part, definitely Superman leads directly into Peacemaker. It should be noted that this is for adults, not for children, but Superman leads into this show and then we have the setting up of all of the rest of the DCU in this season of Peacemaker. It’s incredibly important.”
Gunn explained that John Cena’s series will feature many old characters and guest stars, including those who have already appeared in the Superman movie. He said this season is his favourite work and he is very excited for fans to watch it. Cena added that the new season continues the story rather than being a new show. The season will follow the 11th Street Kids on their next adventure while also moving the other DCU storyline forward.
Several big projects in DCU are lined up for the coming years. Supergirl and Clayface are set to release in 2026, followed by a new Wonder Woman movie. The Batman 2, part of Matt Reeves’ Batman Epic Crime Saga, is expected to come out in 2027, while The Brave and the Bold will introduce a new version of Batman into the DCU. The Penguin Season 2 is planned, Peacemaker Season 2 will arrive soon and a Lanterns series is scheduled for 2026. All of these movies and shows are part of Gods & Monsters.
