DC Studios has given fans another sneak peek of what’s next for Peacemaker season 2 on HBO Max. This new trailer shows what viewers can expect to see from creator James Gunn’s hit series in the weeks ahead, following the shocking events of the Peacemaker season 2 premiere.
This second season follows Chris Smith/Peacemaker (John Cena) as he tries to become a true hero and find happiness, which he seems to find through a portal to another universe.
The new trailer shows Chris, having accidentally killed his alternate self, taking his counterpart’s place in the other world and beginning to live the life he dreamed of having in the idyllic reality.
The show reveals that Chris, his brother (David Denman), and their father (Robert Patrick) are a loving family of superheroes in this parallel universe. Chris also has a loving, romantic relationship with this reality’s version of Emilia Harcourt (Jennifer Holland). Everything seems perfect.
However, Rick Flag Sr. is shown searching for Peacemaker’s interdimensional portal, all while pursuing vengeance for the murder of his son, Rick Flag Jr., in The Suicide Squad. With both A.R.G.U.S. and Judomaster (Nhut Lee) hunting for Peacemaker, it appears that the other 11th Street Kids will reunite to protect their friend.
Meanwhile, Flag Sr. tempts Harcourt with an offer. She can return to her job at A.R.G.U.S. if she gives up Peacemaker. This enticing proposition could drive a wedge between Chris and Harcourt.
Overall, this new trailer promises to deliver a thrilling and emotionally charged new chapter in both Peacemaker’s story and the broader DC Universe. While this new cinematic universe is still young, it has had a strong start with HBO Max’s Creature Commandos and the blockbuster film, Superman.
Based on the first episode of Peacemaker season 2, it looks like the franchise won’t lose this momentum anytime soon.
China just gave Hollywood a cautionary tale about AI filmmaking. Sanxingdui: Future Past, billed as the country's first fully AI-generated movie, hit theaters on October 23 and bombed at the box office.
According to Futurism, the film's reported $1.5 million production budget landed on more than 10,000 screens. Yet it pulled in only about $181,000, averaging roughly $20 per screen, making the budget difficult to recover.
Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.

YouTube videos could soon look better without eating quite so much data, right? Thankfully, the platform plans to introduce a new video format called AV2 on its web player in early 2027, promising more efficient streaming and potentially fewer playback hiccups on slower internet connections. The big headline is a roughly 30% improvement in compression efficiency over AV1, YouTube's existing video format. That doesn't guarantee every video will use 30% less data, but it could make streaming a little easier on both internet connections and data allowances.
What is AV2, and why should viewers care?
