Part 3/9:
Following Superman, attention turned to Peacemaker season 2, which Gunn and his marketing team explicitly tied to the new DC universe's future. The character, played by John Cena, even appeared briefly in the Superman film, and Gunn repeatedly emphasized that watching Peacemaker was essential to understanding what’s coming next for the DC franchise.
Furthermore, Gunn promoted the season with statements suggesting it would set up major storylines, teasing potential big reveals and callbacks. Fans and viewers were encouraged to tune in, with promises of significant payoffs and surprises. Yet, when the episodes aired, they revealed an entirely different picture.
