No spoilers here, but the Peacemaker Season 2 finale was, much like the rest of the season, pretty wild. It’s also set up quite a few possibilities while refusing to neatly wrap up several ongoing storylines. While fairly satisfying on its own terms, the finale has understandably left many with the impression that we will inevitably get a third season of the show that will tie those loose threads together.
However, Peacemaker showrunner James Gunn says the situation isn’t quite that simple. In fact, it genuinely sounds like he’s not thinking of Peacemaker Season 3 at all right now.
“This is about the wider DCU and other stories in which this will play out right now,” Gunn said of the Peacemaker Season 2 finale in a recent interview with multiple outlets. “That doesn’t mean that there won’t be. I don’t want to never say never, but right now, no, this is about the future of the DCU.”
Well, that’s ominous. It’s not clear at this time what HBO’s interest in Peacemaker Season 3 is, but Gunn suggests that it’s simply not a priority for DC at the moment and that another season of the show simply isn’t on the studio’s radar. However, Gunn assures fans that the Peacemaker character is still very important to him and will be a factor in future DC projects.
“Peacemaker is an important character,” Gunn says. “I said from the beginning when we took on this job, it’s about really propping up and maintaining and repositioning. The big diamond properties that DC has, the Batmans and Wonder Womans and Supermans, and then creating diamond properties out of the smaller characters like Peacemaker.”
While Gunn stops short of confirming that Peacemaker will appear in Supergirl or Man of Tomorrow, he remains adamant that he wants to treat future DC projects as enjoyable standalone experiences while gradually utilizing characters and plot points from one movie or TV show into another. As far as that goes, it sounds like Peacemaker fans with an eye out for what happens next should keep an eye on the next Creature Commandos season.
“It’s in there, it’s a part of it,” Gunn says regarding some of Peacemaker’s unresolved storylines being advanced in Creature Commandos. “That’s being written now, and we’ve got the first couple episodes.”
As for when the next season of Creature Commandos will air… well, there’s no word on that yet, and DC’s current production and release schedule suggests we may not see it until 2027. Welcome to the wonderful world of modern comic adaptations, we suppose. [end-mark]
