The second season of the excellent DC Comics series Peacemaker starring John Cena will film this summer in advance of being released on Max.
Actor Jennifer Holland stated the series would begin filming this summer on her social media, which was earlier than expected. Writer and Director James Gunn (who is now co-head of DC Studios) later noted the series would be filming at the same time as his new Superman film, which just began production on 2/29 in Cleveland.
The first season starred Cena with Gunn, the writer and director of DC's The Suicide Squad returning to write and direct the series. The series explored Peacemaker's background and what happens to him after the Suicide Squad film while also attempting to prevent an alien invasion.
At the time, Cena described his take on Peacemaker as a "douchey Captain America." Cena's portrayal of Peacemaker was the first ever live action incarnation of the character, a soldier and super-hero who loves peace so much he is willing to kill anyone, including innocents, for it. The character was originally created by the now-defunct Charlton Comics but acquired by DC in the mid-80s, mostly as a gift for the legendary Dick Giordano, who had worked on the characters before his incredible run for DC. The character was the inspiration for Watchmen's The Comedian as well.
The first season of Peacemaker was a massive hit for DC and Max.
