Summary
- Peacemaker Season 2 finale marks "end of the road" for John Cena's antihero
- Gunn confirms plans to direct upcoming DC superhero movies, including Man of Tomorrow
- Gunn's larger creative vision ties together characters from Peacemaker, Creature Commandos, and Superman sequel
As of October 12th, 2025, DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn has unveiled his ambitious plans for the future of the DC Universe. In a recent interview, Gunn confirmed that the Peacemaker Season 2 finale will mark the "end of the road for now" for John Cena's antihero character.
Looking ahead, Gunn shared his larger creative vision, which aims to tie together characters and storylines across multiple upcoming DC projects. This interconnected approach echoes Gunn's work on the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy at Marvel, but with a much broader sandbox to play in.
Notably, Gunn revealed that he plans to personally direct several of the upcoming DC superhero movie releases, including the highly anticipated Man of Tomorrow. This suggests Gunn will maintain a hands-on role in shaping the direction of the DC Universe, even as he transitions into an executive producer position guiding other filmmakers.
Gunn's emphasis on interconnectivity and his personal involvement in key projects indicate he is committed to crafting a cohesive, long-term narrative for DC's "Gods and Monsters" era. However, the director also acknowledged that the demanding pace could eventually lead to exhaustion, leaving the full extent of his directorial involvement uncertain.
