James Gunn’s DCU is yet to take flight; however, the suicide squad and Peacemaker are still canon to the continuity, and thus the second season of Peacemaker is an important project for the DCU. The director has released the first teaser photo from the second season, and speculations are going on about the mysterious figure that is visible in the image.
The photo includes a man sitting at a bonfire, looking away from the camera. Having a muscular build, long braided hair, and a very peculiar feathered armband. While many are considering that this is John Cena’s Peacemaker himself going through a Thor-like hairdo, it is more likely that this is an entirely different character.
Given the record of James Gunn, he loves to play with the lesser-known characters. The speculations point towards some native American character, most presumably “Apache Chief.” The character is a native American tribal chief, which can provide a lovely character dynamic between him and peacemaker. The contrasting “American” values can be the central conflict, and he could even serve as a worthy antagonist.
The second guess is Longshadow, who was recently included in the young justice team, and he could serve as a secondary protagonist to the series; after all, the first season was loved for the way it handled the secondary characters. Many of which became fan favorites, like Vigilante.
The second season of Peacemaker is speculated to have its premier in 2025.
