What better way to celebrate writer/director James Gunn and DC Studios' second season of John Cena-starring Peacemaker making its way to San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) this weekend than with some very cool podcast news? Though he had alluded to it in recent interviews, HBO Max dropped the trailer for Peacemaker: The Official Podcast with James Gunn. With the first edition dropping this Thursday, July 24th, the podcast will feature Gunn joined by co-hosts Jennifer Holland (Emilia Harcourt) and Steve Agee (John Economos), along with some surprise guests, to rewatch the first season, share behind-the-scenes stories, "establish DCU canon," and more. Based on that quote, it looks like we'll learn what from the first season made the cut in the new DCU. Following that, beginning August 21st, the team returns for a weekly breakdown of every Season 2 episode.
