James Gunn Confirms State of Future DC Projects and ‘Peacemaker’ Season 2 Canon Status

As a dedicated fan of the DCEU, I’ve seen the highs and lows of this universe’s development, and I must admit, it’s been quite a rollercoaster ride. The potential was there from the beginning, but unfortunately, the execution left much to be desired. That is until James Gunn came along and breathed new life into the DCEU with his unique vision and creative storytelling.


Warner, the company holding DC Comics’ character rights, established the DCEU in response to Disney’s MCU success. With promising potential, star-studded casts, and some exceptional films, the DCEU unfortunately faced an uphill battle due to an excess of questionable choices and misdirected strategies that hindered its growth from the start.

After being called upon, James Gunn stepped in to take over from Zack Snyder, who had previously led the DCEU. Instead of building on the existing universe, Gunn chose to begin anew and create a fresh fictional realm. This new narrative, which aims to revitalize the DCEU after its turmoil, will be introduced with the title “Gods and Monsters” as its inaugural installment.

Currently, it’s common knowledge that Gunn is developing his own “Superman” film, and there have been several other projects announced. However, there are also numerous rumors surrounding his other projects, leading fans to frequently ask for updates. In a recent interaction with fans, Gunn provided clarity on the progress of some future ventures and shared insights about the upcoming season 2 of “Peacemaker.”

James Gunn, the well-known filmmaker, is frequently engaged on social media platforms. He interacts with fans by answering their queries and sharing his thoughts on gossips. Although his responses are sometimes enigmatic, they don’t provide much useful information. However, when he chooses to be clear, we gain valuable insights into upcoming projects. Recently, a fan questioned Gunn about the “Paradise Lost” project, possibly alluding to the rumored Wonder Woman prequel. In response, Gunn simply stated:

Based on my years of experience working in the film industry, I can confidently say that nothing moves forward unless it has been given the go-ahead, or “greenlit.” At present, we have Superman, Supergirl, Penguin, Peacemaker, and a few animated projects that have made it past this stage. However, there are titles like Paradise Lost, and likely many others yet to be disclosed, which are still very much in the works.

As a long-time fan of Joss Whedon and his captivating storytelling, I can’t help but feel both elated and apprehensive about the recent news regarding his upcoming projects. On one hand, I’m thrilled to hear that the much-anticipated revival of “Gilmore Girls” and development of “The Magic Circle” are moving forward. These shows hold a special place in my heart, and I can’t wait to see what new adventures await Rory and Lorelai, as well as the enigmatic cast of “The Magic Circle.”

Simultaneously, a fan inquired about the continuity of “Peacemaker” Season 2 during an interview with Gunn. The fan wondered aloud, “Is Peacemaker Season 2 underway? Will it carry on from where Season 1 ended or will there be significant differences to indicate that Season 1 isn’t part of the established storyline?” Gunn responded by saying:

“It essentially picks up where season 1 left off with a couple minor differences.”
