Get ready for some serious superhero action because James Gunn, the mastermind behind Peacemaker, just dropped a major hint about Peacemaker season 2!
A Mysterious New Character
While Peacemaker Season 2 is set to premiere sometime in 2025 (after Superman hits theaters), Gunn is teasing fans with clues. He posted a super intriguing picture on X (formerly Twitter) showing a mysterious character sitting by a campfire. The image shows only the character's back and has a man who seems shirtless, long haired with some feathered accessories!
Who Is the Mystery Character?
Gunn's caption, “Who might this be?” is driving fans wild, and it's sparking major speculation. Several fans online are suggesting some options based on appearances alone and a few key features. Could this be a new original character or someone from the vast DC Comics universe? It's anyone's guess. The speculation includes some relatively obscure characters!
- Long Shadow: A genetically altered superhero from the DC Animated Universe. He's seen in Justice League Unlimited as a member of the Ultimen, who later gets his own free will and fights alongside the Justice League.
- Black Bison: A major villain in the comics, who possesses his ancestor's spirit and who happens to sport almost the exact same hair. He was considered a threat that fought Firestorm.
- Manitou Raven: This mystical character is actually pretty well-known and was initially a shaman for the mystical team "League of Ancients". After finding his path to become one with the Justice League he displayed super powers that might even allow for size shifting and even teleporting!
- Apache Chief: He was introduced in the 1970s Super Friends animated series, showing a special, unique power that let him shift in size and was an inspiration to characters like Long Shadow and Manitou Raven. He doesn't appear anywhere in the current DC Comics Universe.
