Following the release of Superman on July 11, which marks the beginning of Gunn's rebooted DC Universe (DCU), Peacemaker Season 2 will be the third installment in this new cinematic universe. It comes after last year's Creature Commandos TV series and the upcoming Superman film.

Gunn and co-CEO Peter Safran are steering the DCU away from the critically criticized DC Extended Universe (DCEU), which included films like Justice League, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and Man of Steel. However, some elements from the DCEU will carry over into the new DCU. Peacemaker serves as a prime example, having debuted in the DCEU with its first season and now continuing in the new DCU with its second.

PlayGunn has previously mentioned that **"many strands will remain consistent as far as Peacemaker's story goes,"** though it's not yet clear which specific elements will transition from the DCEU to the DCU. He has confirmed that all members of Team Peacemaker will return, with the same actors reprising their roles. This includes **John Cena** as Peacemaker, **Frank Grillo** as Rick Flag Sr., **Freddie Stroma** as Adrian Chase, and **Danielle Brooks** as Leota Adebayo.

Additionally, Gunn has stated that Peacemaker Season 2 will be set after the events of Creature Commandos and Superman, with the latter's events directly impacting Peacemaker's storyline.
