PEACEMAKER: James Gunn Shares First Official Look At John Cena's New Season 2 Helmet Design

James Gunn has taken to Instagram to reveal a first official look at the new helmet John Cena's Christopher Smith will don in the second season of Peacemaker.

The photo only shows the helmet from the back, but it's clearly a new design. It'll be interesting to see if the entire helmet more is inspired by the character's earliest appearances, or possibly the banner image above.

"On this day, #Peacemaker aka Christopher Smith made his first comic appearance in Fightin’ 5 #40, in 1966, created by Joe Gill and Pat Boyette," Gunn captioned his post. "It’s the role @JohnCena was born to play, and I can’t wait to show you all what we’re cooking up now for @Peacemaker Season 2!"

Though the photo has since been removed, a mural was recently spotted on set featuring John Cena's Peacemaker (wearing a slightly different costume), his father in his White Dragon outfit, and a mysterious third character who many believe will turn out to be Christopher Smith's brother, Keith.

If you watched season 1, you'll know that Chris accidentally killed his older brother by punching him in the head when their father forced them to fight for his Aryan pals' entertainment, but the theory is that this image was painted in an alternate timeline where Keith lived and joined his father and brother as part of a vigilante team.

This may seem like a bit of a stretch, but we do know that Robert Patrick is set to return as Augee Smith despite being killed off in the season 1 finale, and it would explain James Gunn's comments about season 1 not being part of the DCU.

Rather than simply pretending certain events (the Justice League cameos, for example) didn't happen, he might be planning to bring Peacemaker and the supporting characters into a whole new reality.

Danielle Brooks and Steve Agee have also been confirmed to reprise their season 1 roles, with Sol Rodríguez and David Denman joining the fray as Sasha Bordeaux and "Larry."

"Peacemaker explores the continuing story of the character that John Cena reprises in the aftermath of executive producer James Gunn's 2021 film The Suicide Squad – a compellingly vainglorious man who believes in peace at any cost, no matter how many people he has to kill to get it!"

Season 2 plot details are still mostly under wraps, but we do know that Frank Grillo will reprise his Creature Commandos role as Rick Flag Sr., and will be seeking revenge for Peacemaker killing his son Rick Jr. (Joel Kinnaman) in The Suicide Squad.

Gunn, Peter Safran, and Matt Miller are the series' executive producers. Co-executive producer John Cena and consulting producer Stacy Littlejohn are also involved in the production of the show.

A premiere date has not been announced.

@lazlodaytona - We got used to the ridiculous looking helmet by the end of season one. Now, we have get used to a new ridiculous looking helmet all over again.

I didn't really like Peacemaker Season one. I don't have HBO-Max so I will be missing this one and all upcoming new DC shows.

Cool , looking forward to S2 since I thought the first one was solid personally!!.

I still think Gunn is just gonna ignore the JL references or them showing up at the end of S1 but keep the plot & character development that happened there which we have already gotten indications about such as Task Force X being outed hence Waller can’t use human prisoners anymore in Creature Commandos or Rick Flag Sr coming for revenge which means TSS is canon to an extent.

I’m cool with that since I wouldn’t have wanted them to ignore all that , especially Chris hallucinating his dad now which is directly from the Post Crisis version of the character.

In that he finds out his whole Peacemaker persona was created as a result of a serious mental illness due to the shame of finding out his dad was a Nazi.

I liked this stupid funny show, but I think it caught lightning in a bottle. I'm not sure if more is going to be better.

@DocSpock - I rematched season 1 and more can work
The characters and character development was a big part of the show

So they can do the standard of bringing the gang back together and having them go through more adventures

I think there is more story to tell

I hope you are right.
