It seems Christopher Smith will be rocking several different looks in the second season of Peacemaker.

Last month, James Gunn posted a behind-the-scenes shot of Smith's helmet from the back. While it didn't appear to be massively different to the one Smith wore in season 1 and The Suicide Squad, it was clearly a new design.

Now, star John Cena has shared another photo to his Instagram page, and this one has a fin.

This actually looks like it might be the hilariously-named "Scabies for All" Helmet, which Smith claimed would "give everybody in a one-mile radius scabies, except, of course, the wearer of the helmet."

In related DCU news, Gunn has shared some photos from the New York Comic-Con Creature Commandos display.

Season 2 plot details are still under wraps, but we do know that Frank Grillo will appear as Rick Flag Sr., and there's a lot of speculation that the story will be at least partially set in an alternate universe.

Though the photo has since been removed, a mural was recently spotted on set featuring 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's brother, Keith.

We do know that Robert Patrick is set to return as Augee Smith despite being killed off in the season 1 finale, and the characters somehow finding themselves in a different part of the DC Multiverse would explain Gunn's comments about season 1 not being part of the DCU.

Rather than simply pretending certain events (the Justice League cameos in the season 1 finale, for example) didn't happen, Gunn might be planning to bring Peacemaker and the supporting characters into a whole new reality.

"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!"

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.

Peacemaker is set to return to our screens in the later half of 2025.

@KennKathleen - Same thing with ALL directors that tend to use the same actors? Scorsese, Nolan, Spielberg, Tarantino, Coogler, The Russos, De Palma….is it all nepotism when they cast too?

You all get on here and just say ANYTHING like sheep here.

@DTor91 - And it’s gotten really tiresome. It’s also not like these are government contracts. He’s also doing all of this in full sight of his employer. I was the only one that I think should be having a lot of grievance about this and apparently the issue was just with the “fans.”

@DTor91 - the mutha***#@ said he added Krypto because he liked his 🐕.

Maybe YOUUU get on here and say ANYTHING, but I'm paying attention to the things people involved in the things I love say and do.

My time is least wasted on worrying about what others think on this site. Perhaps you should also foucs less on us sheep, Bub.

@KennKathleen - isn't that a good thing though a writer adds stuff on personal experience? Same with actors and directors, drawing from that only helps portray that on screen as more genuine or natural

@bkmeijer1 - not all the time. Snyders personal experience with Christianity made his superman space jesus. Also the death of snyders mum lead to the whole Martha story point from what I remember.

People love to give Gunn a pass because they liked his marvel movies.

@bkmeijer1 - It CAN work.

In this case, I'd prefer seeing the effects of Superman in James Gunn's life, more than the effect of James Gunn in Superman's life.

I admit that I may be a bit of a nitpick, due to the fact I'm really not a fan of this guy. It just feels like he's a dice roll that I'm not willing to bet on.

I'm willing to give props if I'm wrong... we'll see.

bkmeijer1 - 10/18/2024, 3:35 AM
@KennKathleen @TheClungerine - In this case it won't affect the movie as much I think. A dog is a way less heavy topic than Jesus and death

I am willing to give Gunn the benefit of a doubt, as I like all his projects so far. I trust him to handle character well, including a dog.

@bkmeijer1 - I'm not mad at your optimism. I'd much rather say "you were right", than "I told you so."

BraveNewClunge
BraveNewClunge - 10/18/2024, 3:53 AM
@bkmeijer1 - I don't think his handling of the dog will spoil the movie. Gunn is very good at using animals for brownie points with audiences. I'd just rather krypto didn't look like he has rabies 😅

@FrankenDad - Krypto doesn't count as nepotism. It's based on his dog, but it's not his actual dog in the role.
bkmeijer1
bkmeijer1 - 10/18/2024, 4:37 AM
@KennKathleen - that's a good stance. I'll happily eat my plate of crow if I'm wrong, but I dount I'll have to with this movie
bkmeijer1
bkmeijer1 - 10/18/2024, 4:38 AM
@TheClungerine - do we already know what Krypto looks like? Thought Gunn only said he'll be a white dog

@bkmeijer1 - it was in that pic and he said it was insired by his own dog. His dog looks homeless 🤣😭😅

@incredibleTalk - They're calling it simply the 'DCU'. Which is pretty audacious. But maybe the 'C' stands for Cinematic. The Detective Cinematic Universe.

So glad the snyderverse is dead and we get more colorful characters im so stoked for Green Lantern and Superman if this show brings back Joel Kinnaman it would be amazing

grif - 10/17/2024, 8:44 PM
i think the dead snyderverse gets more news than the gunverse.

RolandD
RolandD - 10/17/2024, 10:31 PM
@grif - Well we haven’t gotten any product yet from the Gunnverse and we all know how vocal the toxic side of Snyder fans can be so it makes perfect sense.

@RolandD - just look around his fb page at his last birthday party. You're likely to find >75% of the future DCU staff.

Gunn's DCU is exciting for me in a sense that we will be getting a fresh start, with a new development process based on his lessons while working at Marvel.

And basing in his hires for both the creative and acting departments, everything is looking good so far. I just hope it resonates with the general audience.

Will be interesting to see what happens. Especially if Marvel continues to stick with their old and tired formula. The MCU needs a creative reboot.

Hard to imagine that the same studio that can put on a DC masterpiece like Penguin still goes dumpster diving with drivel like Peacemaker.
RolandD
RolandD - 10/17/2024, 10:42 PM
@Forthas - Season 1 94% on RT, solid viewership numbers, nominated for a number of awards. Trying to equate your tastes, which obviously you have every right to, with most other people seems to be the problem here. Now if Superman has the same tone and humor as Peacemaker and TSS, I will join you in anger, but I don’t think that it will.
