Peacemaker Season 2 Expected to Introduce New DCU Canon Character

Rumors indicate that Peacemaker Season 2 will integrate aspects of David Ayer's Suicide Squad into the new DC Universe (DCU) canon, marking a surprising connection between the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) and the DCU. Specifically, Joel Kinnaman is expected to reprise his role as Rick Flag Jr. in flashback scenes and as an alternate dimension version of the character. The new season will continue following John Cena's Peacemaker and explore new dimensions where Peacemaker is celebrated as a hero. This development occurs amid James Gunn and Peter Safran's broader efforts to reboot the DCU, which have involved canceling several previously planned DCEU projects, including Wonder Woman 3 and Black Adam 2, to align with their new vision. Additionally, the Supergirl film will feature a new lead, Milly Alcock, instead of Sasha Calle, reflecting changes in casting decisions under the new DCU leadership. These moves highlight a strategic reshaping of the DC franchise to create a cohesive new universe while selectively integrating elements from the DCEU.
