Secret 'Peacemaker' Season 2 Trailer Just Solved 'Superman's' DCU Canon Crisis '

Whether you're ready or not, the new DCU is about to explode. Now that Superman has landed, a ton of DC comics-related projects are about to really start expanding the classic comic book universe that Superman has helped reestablish. But, with a hilarious cameo from John Cena's Peacemaker in the new movie, one might wonder how the very recent DC movie/TV continuity fits in? Jason Momoa is back in the DC orbit, but he's not playing Aquaman anymore; rather, he will appear in Supergirl as the alien bounty hunter Lobo. But, if that's true, how come John Cena gets to play the same character he played in the old DCU?

The answer might be found in a trailer that you can only catch in movie theaters right now. Playing in front of screenings of Superman is a new trailer for Peacemaker Season 2, which may have just explained everything.

In the new theatrical trailer, which has leaked online, Peacemaker says: "There's another dimension. That's exactly the same as ours. But it's better." 

This seems to confirm that Peacemaker is the bridge between the old DC cinematic universe (sometimes called the DCEU) and the new DCU. Peacemaker Season 2 will take place after the events of Superman and will feature cameos from Frank Grillo, Nathan Fillion, and Isabela Merced, reprising their roles as Rick Flagg Sr., Guy Gardner, and Hawkgirl.

So, it's also possible that Peacemaker Season 2 will give us a little more clarity on which version of Peacemaker we're even dealing with. Is this the same guy from The Suicide Squad? Or is he just from a slightly alternate dimension? Time will tell! But luckily, we don't have to wait long. Peacemaker Season 2 hits HBO Max on August 21.
