Season 2 of James Gunn‘s DC action series “Peacemaker” has added Frank Grillo, Gunn announced Friday on Threads. Grillo will play Rick Flag Sr., the father of Suicide Squad member Rick Flag Jr. (played by Joel Kinnaman in the previous two movies).

However, Grillo will debut as Rick Flag Sr. in animated form first. He’s part of the voice cast for “Creature Commandos,” an upcoming Max series about a black ops team of monsters working for Amanda Waller after she forms the Suicide Squad. “Creature Commandos” will kick off Gunn’s Phase One of the new DC Universe.

It will be interesting to see how Rick Flag Sr will react to Peacemaker, Who killed his son in the last Suicide Squad movie.

Will he even be the father of that Jr. if it's a new universe? For that matter, would Jr. even be dead in this one?

When talking about Peacemaker season 2, James Gunn confirms that Superman will feature a Quantum Unfolding Chamber (QUC). That probably means the rumors about the villain of Superman being Ultraman are looking pretty likely to be true.

And in Peacemaker season 2, it seems clear that either the Snyderverse Peacemaker is coming to visit the Gunn-verse Peacemaker, or vice versa (and one will probably kill the other). Are people really still in the mood for all this multiversal stuff, though? I would've thought after Flash was DOA DC would've wanted to steer clear of that stuff for a good long while.

Episode 1 of season 2 is out. Among other things, it has a big orgy with lots of frontal nudity... both female and male. Bigger than the stuff in The Boys.

I don't get this. Why retcon the Justice League cameo at the end of season 1? I thought the whole idea is that Peacemaker is jumping out of the Snyderverse and into the new Gunn-verse, and killing his Gunn-verse self and taking his place? Or are they making this way more complicated than it needs to be?

It's definitely both. I forgot to rewatch Season 1 before this started, but your theories make sense.

No the alt universe is where everything in his life goes well and he is a hero the current universe is the Gunn-verse since he had an interview with Maxwell Lord Guy Gardner and Hawkgirl that didn’t go well. Not to mention Rick Flag Sr mentions the Luther indecent

*Andrew NDB* · 08-25-2025, 05:28 PM

Yeah, weeeird. This was like a golden opportunity to just shift Peacemaker from one universe to the new (current) one super cleanly. So basically we're just supposed to go in having to figure that reality got messed with in between seasons?

nidza_maj2000 · 08-26-2025, 12:14 PM

In my opinion start of season 2 is really good and when we watch final episode of season 1 we can even skip Justice League part and think that in that scene Justice Gang showed up like what was shown in season 1 recap, also James Gunn teased Blue Beetle from 2023 movie might appear in this season

*sdp* · 08-26-2025, 10:28 PM

Watched season 1, this almost feels like a live action The Tick show, kinda wish it were.
Peacemaker feels way different than the one in the movie, though I still likes him. The show had like 2 eps in the middle that perhaps weren't needed but overall it was a good show.

They're making it less complicated just saying the show now takes place then the DCU and ignore the few references to DCEU.

nidza_maj2000 · 08-29-2025, 09:56 AM

This week episode of Peacemaker is also good, it looks like in next episode we will see more of Chris in alternate universe

*sdp* · 08-29-2025, 10:59 AM

Man, I didn't realize the season was going to be drip fed week by week. This is why I preferto wait I til a show is over.
I'm too used to just waiting until the final season is about to be released before I start watching the show.

Watching it weekly builds anticipation maybe also I am curious which characters will have cameos in last 3 episodes maybe like James Gunn said maybe some of them will also have bigger role and I think one of them will be Blue Beetle

nidza_maj2000 · 08-31-2025, 06:49 PM

Which characters do you guys think might appear in last 3 episodes of season 2 that James Gunn teased?

It'll be someone from Superman that we haven't already seen so far. Maybe Superman himself? Lois? Mr. Terrific?

Yeah and Blue Beetle from 2023 movie, do you think he is also possible? Because James Gunn also teased his appearance in imdb interview
