DC’s new cinematic universe is practically in its infancy, but with James Gunn at the helm, it’s also maturing at what feels like light speed. The “Superman Saga” is clearly the cornerstone of the new franchise: two sequels to this year’s Superman are already on the way, and Peacemaker Season 2 is also doing its part to advance that storyline. Its most recent episode set the stage for Man of Tomorrow, a team-up film for the Man of Steel (David Corenswet) and his arch-nemesis Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult). The DCU has come out of the gate with plenty of synergy and cohesion — but what’s going to happen to Peacemaker himself (John Cena) after this season comes to a close?
With only two episodes left in Season 2, fans of Peacemaker are naturally wondering where Cena’s vigilante will head next. As his cameo in Superman proved, he could easily jump from the small screen and back to film for a much bigger adventure. He could also return for another season of Peacemaker. There are plenty of possibilities, but only Gunn knows which path this story will take... and the filmmaker is vague as ever on Peacemaker’s future.
