James Gunn Shares New Peacemaker Helmet Picture From Season 2 Set Amid Fan Frenzy

As a dedicated follower of all things DC Universe and a connoisseur of James Gunn‘s work, I can’t help but feel a surge of excitement upon seeing the latest update about Peacemaker. With the shared glimpse of John Cena’s new helmet and a nod to the character’s comic book origins, it’s clear that we’re in for an even wilder ride than the first season.


The emerging DC Universe continues to unfold, and James Gunn has provided fresh insights for excited fans. Recently, DC Studios’ co-CEO shared on social media a sneak peek of John Cena’s helmet for the upcoming season of Peacemaker – a series that Gunn himself created. This glimpse into the future offers a look at the backstory of the antihero character, much to the delight of fans eagerly anticipating its origin story.

As an overly enthusiastic fan, I can’t help but share that James Gunn, the man behind the scenes of my beloved Guardians of the Galaxy, recently posted a sneak peek of the new helmet on his X-platform (formerly known as Twitter). This alone had me and fellow die-hard fans buzzing with anticipation. But wait, there’s more! He also shared an image of the original comics where it seems our favorite character first graced the pages. Talk about getting the blood pumping!

On September 2, 2024, the post was published – a significant date as it marked the debut appearance of the Peacemaker in those pages for the first time.

On this specific date, Christopher Smith, also known as Peacemaker, debuted in the comics for the first time in Fightin’ 5 issue number 40, all the way back in 1966. (Slither’s director’s words)

Later on, he delved into the topic of Joe Gill and Pat Boyette, the masterminds behind Peacemaker. Showing his enthusiasm, James Gunn mentioned that John Cena was destined for the role of this beloved wrestler-turned-character in Peacemaker.

He excitedly shared, “I can hardly contain my excitement to reveal what we’ve been preparing for Season 2 of @Peacemaker! Stay tuned!”

Back in the 1980s, when I was just getting hooked on comics, the very first appearance of my favorite character, Cena, was in the Fightin’ 5 issue that was originally published by Charlton Comics. Although Charlton Comics started to fade into obscurity over time, a handful of their characters, including mine, were snatched up by DC during those years.

This group encompasses the widely recognized Peacemaker, as well as Blue Beetle, Captain Atom, Judo Master, The Question, among others. Over time, they garnered popularity within the realm of Detective Comics.

In the upcoming Season 2 of Peacemaker, viewers can anticipate an exciting lineup since not only John Cena will be back, but also Freddie Stroma, who’ll once again embody the character Adrian Chase, better known as the vigilante, as confirmed by Comicbook.

In addition to Jennifer Holland and Steve Agee, we’ll also be seeing Danielle Brooks reappearing in Season 2 of Peacemaker.

Additionally, it has been hinted by one of the show’s directors that Joel Kinnaman will return to his character, Rick Flag, in the upcoming season.
