According to ComicBook, James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy, Slither) clarifies any confusion fans may have over the new DC Universe. Max revealed on Sunday reel of what is to come to the streamer platform in 2025, including the second season of Peacemaker. This made fans notice a small discrepancy as Rick Flag Sr. who will first appear in the adult animated series Creature Commandos before appearing in the live-action Superman film. The discrepancy was that in the animated series Rick Flag Sr.’s hair is silver but in the second season of Peacemaker it is black.

Gunn has also explained the timeline of the current series and films that have and will premiere. Gunn wrote on Threads, “Peacemaker 2 is after Superman which is after Creature Commandos,”
Peacemaker follows the events of the character with the same name after the Suicide Squad movie. John Cena (Ricky Stanky, Jackpot!) stars as Peacemaker a character that believes in achieving peace at any cost. The series is the first Spin-off in the new DC Universe that Gunn is building.

This group includes a human leader, a werewolf, a vampire, Frankenstein’s monster and a gorgon. The series is the first animated installment and the first part of Chapter One: Gods and Monsters which is set to establish the new DC Universe.
