James Gunn continues to build connections within the new DC cinematic universe. On his social media, the director confirmed that the second season of the Peacemaker series not only continues the story of Christopher Smith, but also becomes an official prequel to his next major project — the film Superman: Legacy, scheduled for release on July 9, 2027.
According to Gunn, there will be a direct plot connection between the projects. Answering one of his followers, he noted that the season finale will lead up to the events of the new film, even though viewers will still see Supergirl, Lanterns, and Clayface before Superman: Legacy is released.
The finale of the second season of Peacemaker will be released on October 9. Such statements may increase interest in the series among viewers who do not want to miss the details that form the new DC cinematic universe.
