Peacemaker season 2 recently arrived on Rotten Tomatoes with 100%, but now that more verdicts have been counted (38 in total), the "Certified Fresh" series has slipped to a still-excellent 97%.

The one negative review comes from Slant Magazine. The site's critic writes, "The series may admirably connect the dots, but the results are patchy."

Still, while Peacemaker season 2 has lost its perfect score, it remains the best-reviewed superhero project from filmmaker James Gunn. Here's how his Marvel and DC movies and TV shows compare, according to the review aggregator:

Peacemaker season 2 - 97%

Creature Commandos - 95%

The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special - 94%

Peacemaker season 1 - 93%

Guardians of the Galaxy - 92%

The Suicide Squad - 90%

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 - 85%

Superman - 83%

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 - 82%

This is a win for DC Studios, particularly as many have questioned why Peacemaker is getting a second season before several of...

The review embargo for Peacemaker season 2 has just lifted, and it looks like DC Studios' winning streak will continue after Creature Commandos and Superman.

With 28 reviews counted on Rotten Tomatoes, the show has a perfect 100% score. Most critics seem to agree that it's as good as season 1, though whether it's better remains to be seen. Many of the reviews with star ratings are mostly of the 3* - 4* variety, suggesting there's some room for improvement.

Regardless, critics get to choose "Fresh" or "Rotten" when they submit their verdicts, and with everyone so far choosing the former, Peacemaker season 2 is officially "Certified Fresh."

For comparison's sake, Peacemaker season 1 is "Certified Fresh" at 93%. The Suicide Squad, meanwhile, has a 90% score, and Superman hit the review aggregator earlier this year with 83%. DC Studios' last small-screen project, the animated Creature Commandos, is rated 95%.

HBO Max has released a red-band trailer for Peacemaker season 2, and it offers a much better idea of what to expect from the series ahead of its return to our screens next week.

Lex Luthor gets a mention, while we also see plenty of bloody violence; at one point, Eagly tears out someone's eyeball before delivering a severed finger to Christopher Smith. There's even an orgy scene, and some intriguing hints about the new world Peacemaker visits.

The social media and review embargo lifts tomorrow, and critics were given five of eight episodes in advance. We'll be sharing our verdict at 12pm Et/9am Pt, and will let you know then whether DC Studios can keep its winning streak going after Creature Commandos and Superman.

James Gunn recently teased how Peacemaker season 2 ties into Superman. "You've seen what we call the Quc, the Quantum Unfolding Chamber, in the first season of Peacemaker,...

While Peacemaker season 2 won't deliver the Dceu/Dcu crossover many fans imagined when that first teaser trailer dropped, John Cena has assured fans that the series is a big part of the wider Dcu narrative.

In a red carpet interview, the WWE Superstar was asked how this batch of episodes will "top" its predecessor. "You know what, I don’t think it’s about topping the last one," Cena explained. "I think it’s about, especially in the perspective of James [Gunn], and I’m speaking for somebody else now, but I think it’s about furthering the narrative, instead of stand-alone properties."

Explaining that all these movies and TV shows are now "connected," Cena continued, "So, you saw as Peacemaker show up in Superman, and I think what you see in Season 2 is just a forward of that narrative, that whole Dcu through line...it also has a lot with the Dcu going forward.

DC Studios' Dceu reboot hasn't quite been the fresh start most fans imagined it would be. While James Gunn and Peter Safran have mostly started from scratch with the Dcu, the former's decision to enlist several familiar faces from Peacemaker has led to some confusion.

Gunn's explanation is that these are different versions of the same characters with slightly different backgrounds. It makes sense, but further confusing matters is the fact that Peacemaker season 2 will include a Multiversal storyline, with Christopher Smith visiting a world where he's a beloved hero.

The prevailing theory was that this would explain his journey from the Dceu to the Dcu. However, Gunn has confirmed that's not the case, despite confirming that Peacemaker will somehow address the change.

Well, we now have some insights from @MyTimeToShineH, who explains, "The first episode of Peacemaker Season 2 opens with 'Previously in the Dcu.' It's mostly all season 1 footage,...

Peacemaker season 2 is fast approaching, making it the third Dcu project to head our way since Creature Commandos premiered at the end of last year.

DC Studios co-ceo and filmmaker James Gunn had described the series as a direct follow-up to Superman, and promised fans that it's going to explain what is and isn't canon from the first season of Peacemaker.

He's previously hinted that pretty much everything aside from the Justice League's cameos/references to characters like Aquaman and The Flash played out in the Dcu exactly as it did in the Dceu.

Joel Kinnaman reprising his Suicide Squad and The Suicide Squad role as Rick Flag Jr. in Peacemaker season 2 feels like one of the show's worst-kept secrets after some pretty telling hints from the actor. Now, we have apparent confirmation from @MyTimeToShineH.

According to the insider, Kinnaman will return as Rick in a flashback scene (marking...

Peacemaker season 2 will see John Cena’s antihero tackle a whole bunch of villains, both old and new. Written and developed by James Gunn, who is the co-chief of DC Studios and directed Superman recently, Peacemaker season 2 will directly relate to the events of Superman and will see Peacemaker go on another mission with the 11th Street Kids.

Gunn has confirmed that most events of season 1 and The Suicide Squad are canon to the show, which means quite a few villains who survived the previous season will return.

New baddies are also set to cross paths with John Cena, including Gunn’s frequent collaborator Michael Rooker, who plays a mysterious original character. Here are the six villains of Peacemaker season 2 ranked by their threat level.

Almost all of Superman's biggest surprises leaked online in advance, but John Cena's Peacemaker cameo was one of the few not revealed before the movie swooped into theaters last month.

Christopher Smith was featured on a talk show, tearing into the Man of Tomorrow after the world learned why his parents had really sent him to Earth. It was a fun moment for fans, and tied into Peacemaker's disdain and jealousy for the superheroes who have shunned his attempts to be like them.

In a newly released video, Cena breaks his silence on appearing in Superman, revealing that it was a last-minute decision made by Gunn while he was getting ready to start shooting Peacemaker season 2.

"I was called in at the final hour as we were preparing for Peacemaker season 2," the WWE Superstar explained. "I did the costume fittings for the new Peacemaker season 2 wardrobe. They were filming Superman at the time,...

The Peacemaker season 2 panel is taking place in Hall H at the San Diego Comic-Con, and we now have a new trailer for the HBO Max series.

Shortly before this was released, James Gunn confirmed that Peacemaker is set in the Dcu and takes place one month after the events of Superman. So, while it might have made sense to some fans for Christopher Smith to travel from the Dceu to the Dcu, that's not the story being told here.

Gunn did, however, confirm that the Dcu is made up of at least 100 universes, one of which is presumably Matt Reeves' Batverse.

Peacemaker season 2 follows the Dcu's Peacemaker, who discovers an alternate reality where he's a beloved hero, in love with Emilia Harcourt, and basically living his dream life.

The sneak peek also features Rick Flag Sr. gearing up to take the former Task Force X member down for his role in Rick Flag Jr.

Superman delivers one of the most despicable interpretations of Lex Luthor to date. The villain is determined to destroy the Man of Steel at all costs and finds himself surrounded by a team willing (or terrified enough) to do anything he demands of them.

Now, at least two of those Luthorcorp lackeys have been confirmed for Peacemaker season 2. Eagle-eyed fans have noticed that, in a previously released featurette for the HBO Max series, Otis (Terence Rosemore) and Sydney (Stephen Blackehart) can be seen alongside Rick Flag Sr.

In Superman, Otis doesn't hesitate to obey Lex's every order and seems more than happy to unleash destruction on Metropolis if it means bringing down its alien protector.

Sydney, meanwhile, was a scientist and ultimately seemed to have a change of heart when he attempted to convince his boss to close the dimensional rift that was tearing the city in half. He even offers to help Mister Terrific,...

A new 30-second teaser for Peacemaker season 2 is playing in select theaters, and it's now found its way online. While the first trailer saw Christopher Smith come face-to-face with his doppelgänger, this sneak peek confirms the confrontation is playing out in another reality.

Needless to say, this has raised questions about whether James Gunn intends to bring the Dceu's Peacemaker into the Dcu rather than simply introducing a new Dcu version with a similar history.

Peacemaker season 2's "canon" status has been a hot topic of debate among fans, especially as its characters played such a prominent role in the Dceu. Gunn addressed that last year by saying, "In Creature Commandos, you'll hear them talk about things that happened in [The] Suicide Squad or Peacemaker. Well then, those things automatically become canon."

"The truth is almost all of Peacemaker is canon with the exception of Justice League," the Superman director added.

Get ready for more chaos in ‘Peacemaker’ Season 2, hitting Max on August 21, 2025. John Cena’s unhinged antihero, Christopher Smith, is back, diving into the rebooted DC Universe (Dcu) with a fresh batch of foes to tackle.

This season promises gritty action, wild humor, and a deeper look into Peacemaker’s messy quest for peace at any cost. Let’s meet the six confirmed DC villains shaking things up.

White Rabbit DC Comics

Brey Noelle steps into the Dcu as White Rabbit, a lesser-known Batman villain. Known in the comics as Jaina Hudson, she’s a socialite with powers like duplication and super speed, often sporting provocative outfits inspired by the Playboy bunny.

Her role in ‘Peacemaker’ Season 2 (2025) remains under wraps, but I’m excited to see how her flashy style and abilities clash with Peacemaker’s brute force. She’s set to appear in at least one episode, marking her live-action debut.

A new DC reboot actor confirmed her Batman villain role in one of James Gunn's upcoming Dcu projects. Gunn (who is directing this summer's Superman film starring David Corenswet) has plans for DC's Caped Crusader in his new vision for the franchise, but when this Gotham-based fare will see the light of day remains to be seen. That has not stopped the DC Studios co-ceo from sprinkling in Easter eggs related to Bruce Wayne into other projects across the brand's expansive TV and film slate.

Actress Brey Noelle revealed in a new social post that she will play the Batman baddie White Rabbit in Peacemaker Season 2. While often associated with the Dark Knight, Noelle's character has a long history in DC Comics, making her appearance in the R-rated series exciting for longtime DC fans.

James Gunn has shared the first trailer for Peacemaker season 2, and it opens with John Cena's former Task Force X member attempting to join the ranks of Maxwell Lord's superhero team (believed to be called the "Justice Gang" based on Superman toy leaks).

Lord is flanked by Green Lantern Guy Gardner and Hawkgirl, neither of whom seems particularly impressed by Peacemaker. We also learn more about Rick Flag Sr.'s plans for the man who murdered his son in The Suicide Squad, though this doesn't look like a typical revenge mission.

There's also a huge surprise at the end of the trailer as we see a second Peacemaker! It seems there will be a Multiversal component to the series, perhaps meaning the Dceu's Christopher Smith travels to the Dcu.

According to a newly released synopsis for Peacemaker season 2, "The new season follows Christopher 'Chris' Smith, aka Peacemaker, the vigilante...

The first poster for Peacemaker season 2 has been released, with the trailer now confirmed for tomorrow. Some of you may be disappointed that this is getting a push before Superman's first full trailer lands, but the Man of Steel did recently get a 5-minute sneak peek and featurette.

This latest sneak peek, which follows yesterday's TV spot, doesn't reveal much, but puts the spotlight on the title character and Eagly. It's also accompanied by the tagline, "There is no I in Peace."

Plot details for season 2 are being kept a closely guarded secret, though there are rumblings that, among the changes made when we follow Smith into a new reality, will be the fact that his father and brother are alive again. Frank Grillo's Rick Flag Sr. will also be out for revenge after learning of Peacemaker's role in his son's death.

Peacemaker spun out of the events of The Suicide Squad,...

During Inside the NBA on TNT yesterday evening, a new TV spot for Peacemaker season 2 aired. Offering our best look yet at the Dcu TV series, we see the show's leads forced to resign themselves to the fact they're not considered heroes, despite saving the world.

It appears that Peacemaker and company will return to White Dragon's lair, though they seem to be on the run from someone.

Rick Flag Sr., perhaps? This preview confirms he's on the hunt for Christopher Smith and eager to avenge what happened to his son in The Suicide Squad.

James Gunn has previously revealed that Flag takes over A.R.G.U.S. from Amanda Waller (we're guessing that was meant to be explained in the Waller TV series that's stalled), leading to him learning the truth about what happened in Corto Maltese. We'll catch up with the Creature Commandos lead in Superman this summer.

"We do...

Of all the characters from The Suicide Squad, why focus on the guy who murdered Rick Flag? James Gunn, however, saw a fair bit of potential in John Cena’s Christopher Smith, a walking disaster with daddy issues and a pretty skewed sense of morality. It became evident in the early minutes of the first season of Peacemaker that this was not what it looked like, albeit the packaging.

Peacemaker Season 1 was very much a case of lightning in a bottle. It successfully took a relatively obscure DC character and turned him into a compelling figure in an already saturated superhero genre. It’s doubly hard for any new superhero introduction to be meaningful these days and to find an audience, yet Peacemaker was able to do that relatively easily.

It’s been three years since that Season 1 finale back in 2022, but with all the shuffling at Warner Bros., the...

Yesterday, DC Studios‘ James Gunn revealed on social media over the weekend that his second season of “Peacemaker,” starring John Cena, is going to be back on Max starting on August 21 after the company dropped a sizzle-reel of upcoming shows coming to Max.

Others among the cast featured in those upcoming episodes include Danielle Brooks, Freddie Stroma, Jennifer Holland, Steve Agee, Nhut Le, Robert Patrick, Sol Rodríguez, Brey Noelle, and Tim Meadows.

A new Batman villain is officially joining Peacemaker Season 2, with actress Brey Noelle confirming she’ll play White Rabbit in the upcoming Max series. Her casting marks one of the first major additions to the new season, which is set to bring back John Cena’s antihero, Peacemaker, for another round of chaotic, R-rated action when the Dcu series returns in August 2025.

Amidst a slew of R-rated projects being developed for the Dcu, Peacemaker will be back in all of its mature-rated glory later in 2025. Airing its first episodes since early 2022, John Cena and co. are expected to deliver many of the same violence, shenanigans, and hijinks fans came to love from him in his solo series.

Outside of a couple of key connections to other DC projects, plot details and story information remain largely under wraps for the second season of Gunn's hit Max series. Now, as its release date inches closer,...

Late last year, James Gunn announced that the second season of Peacemaker, a spin-off of his film The Suicide Squad, had wrapped. He would announce to fans on his official social media, saying, “And that is a Wrap on Peacemaker season 2, including our last remaining actors Steve Agee, Tim Meadows, Sol Rodriguez & Brandon Stanley (& our Dp Sam McCurdy pictured here moments after the last shot.)” Gunn wrote. “Thanks to our entire cast & crew who made this a wonderful experience. My relief to have a break from shooting after ten months straight is countered by how much I’ll miss all of you!“ However, very little is known about this upcoming season, which will premiere this August on Max (a month after the release of his Superman). Gunn would even tease fans about an added character with a mysterious set pic. Now, Newsweek is reporting on a revealed bit of casting.

Singer/actress Brey Noelle has now confirmed that she will play White Rabbit in the second season of James Gunn's Peacemaker.

Noelle shared the news to her Instagram stories after the rumor of her casting sprang online thanks to an IMDb listing. She also commented on several other posts welcoming her to the Dcu.

In the comics, the original White Rabbit debuted in the pages of Adventures of Superman #500 back in the '90s, but the better-known incarnation of the character was a Batman baddie created by David Finch and Paul Jenkins as part of DC's New 52.

Jaina Hudson is the daughter of an American diplomat and an Indian Bollywood actress, and has the ability to duplicate herself into two separate beings. It's possible that Noelle is only playing one of these personas, although there's always a chance she will have a completely different power set in the show.

A lesser-known Batman villain is joining the Dcu, as actress Brey Noelle has confirmed she will appear in Peacemaker Season 2. Despite Peacemaker Season 1 airing in 2022 and originally being part of the Dceu, Season 2 of the hit series will now take place in James Gunn's new Dcu and will debut in August 2025, just one month after Superman. Despite Peacemaker taking place on the outskirts of the DC franchise, it often has a lot of fun featuring lesser-known heroes and villains and giving them the spotlight. Season 2 looks to introduce a new member of Batman's rogue gallery. Just don't expect the Court of Owls.

IMDb lists Brey Noelle as playing the DC villain White Rabbit in Peacemaker Season 2. While IMDb listings don't always mean an actor will be part of the series, Noelle confirmed the casting news on her Instagram stories. The account Gunnverse made a post welcoming Noelle to the Dcu,...

Peacemaker was a hit series when it first came out and most people were satisfied with the goofy The Suicide Squad spin-off starring John Cena. James Gunn’s project foreshadowed the Dcu and while the movies are evolving separately, the series’ highly-anticipated second season is set for an August 2025 premiere.

We know a lot of details about the upcoming season, including some new and returning cast members, but an interesting thing just popped up on IMDb. Namely, if you look up Brey Noelle’s name on the site, you will see an interesting detail!

So, if you go on Brey Noelle’s IMDb page, you will see that she is credited with an upcoming appearance in Peacemaker Season 2 as none other than – White Rabbit, a very interesting side character introduced to the DC universe relatively recently.

Replicator, the new film from director Mark Andrew Hamer and co-writer Russ Lindway comes with a wonderfully comic book styled poster, a title that makes you think of the Resonator from Lovecraft’s From Beyond and a plot that recalls Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

Then she comes home to find her father Ron, whom she reluctantly allowed to move in with her, getting it on with Gina. And then goes off on her for interrupting them. It’s obvious that terminal cancer hasn’t...
