James Gunn has added fuel to the fire of Peacemaker season 2's importance to the wider DCU by calling it a "prequel" to Man of Tomorrow.
The DC Studios boss put out a reminder on Twitter for fans to watch the latest episode of Peacemaker season 2, complete with John Cena cradling his stunt double, alongside the caption: "Watch the Man of Tomorrow Prequel AKA #Peacemaker Season 2."

Gunn added, "Just in the necessary and lengthy stage of rewriting and rewriting some more. It's been a lot of fun..
Peacemaker season 2 is currently airing on HBO Max. Man of Tomorrow hits cinemas on July 9, 2027.
