James Gunn recently posted a mysterious teaser for Peacemaker season 2 on Instagram, which has sparked excitement and speculation among fans. The image features a shirtless character with their face hidden, leading many to guess their identity based on physical traits. Fans seem to agree that the character is likely Savant, based on the muscular body and distinct hairstyle. This teaser has fueled discussions as viewers try to piece together the clues.
Savant, a character created by Gail Simone and Ed Benes, first appeared in DC Comics’ Birds of Prey #56 in 2003. He was portrayed by Michael Rooker in Gunn’s The Suicide Squad, which is part of the same universe as Peacemaker. Given the connections between the two, it seems plausible that Savant could be joining the cast of Peacemaker season 2, exciting fans who are eager to see more familiar faces from the Suicide Squad universe.
Season 1 of Peacemaker premiered in January 2022, but there is still no confirmed release date for the second season. The delay may be due to Gunn’s expanded role as co-head of DC Studios, alongside Peter Safran. Together, they are reshaping DC Films into DC Studios and launching new projects for the DC Universe, including Superman: Legacy, scheduled to release in 2025. This has kept Gunn occupied, possibly affecting the timeline for Peacemaker’s next season.
Despite the ongoing wait, fans are excited by the recent teaser and the potential return of a character like Savant. The uncertainty surrounding the release has not dampened the enthusiasm for more Peacemaker, and fans continue to speculate about the new season. In the meantime, they can explore other upcoming DC projects or stream popular shows and movies available on HBO Max.
