Most of the upcoming DC movies and upcoming DC TV shows will take place in the DC Universe, the new shared continuity that’s rising from the ashes of the DC Extended Universe. However, there are some holdovers from that past reality, including that the events of The Suicide Squad are DCU canon , which in turn means the Max subscription -exclusive spinoff series Peacemaker is also canon..
. well, almost all of it. There is one major exception, but I’m pleased to hear from series creator and DC Studios co-head James Gunn that this will be dealt with in Peacemaker Season 2 .
In an interview with IGN , Gunn, who also wrote and directed The Suicide Squad and carried out the same duties on the new Superman movie , mentioned that the Justice League scene from the Peacemaker Season 1 finale will remain solely tied to the DCEU. However, this won’t simply be ignored when Season 2 premieres on the 2025 TV schedule , with Gunn saying: The truth is almost all of Peacemaker is canon with the exception of Justice League..
. which we will kind of deal with in the next season of Peacemaker. In case you need a refresher, after John Cena ’s Christopher Smith and his allies destroyed Project Butterfly and were leaving the scene, they ran into Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman and Flash, with the latter two being reprised by Jason Momoa and Ezra Miller , respectively.
The Justice Leaguers arrived too late to help out, prompting Smith to lob some insults at them. It was especially hilarious to.
