Per Deadline, Greg Mottola will be directing multiple episodes in season 2. Mottola’s directorial work includes Superbad, Adventureland, and Confess, Fletch.

The biggest addition to the Peacemaker season 2 cast so far has been Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr. Grillo will also voice Flag in the animated DC series Creature Commandos, expected to arrive in December 2024. Peacemaker season 2 also added Sol Rodriguez and David Denman to the cast. Rodriguez will play Sasha Bordeaux, an ally of Batman. Denman joins the cast in an undisclosed role.

Peacemaker stars John Cena as Christopher Smith, the arrogant mercenary best known by the name Peacemaker. Smith usually wears his red, white, and blue costume with a silver helmet. Cena’s Peacemaker was introduced in 2021’s The Suicide Squad, where he notably killed Rick Flag Jr., the son of Grillo’s Rick Flag Sr.

After The Suicide Squad, Cena’s Smith became the titular star of Peacemaker, the DC series that premiered on Max in January 2022. Cena headlines the list of returning cast members for season 2, which also includes Danielle Brooks as Leota Adebayo, Freddie Stroma as Adrian Chase/Vigilante, Jennifer Holland as Emilia Harcourt, and Steve Agee as John Economos.

Gunn wrote all eight episodes of Peacemaker season 1 and directed five. Gunn wrote every episode of the second season, but will only direct three because of his commitment to Superman.

Peacemaker will exist in Gunn and Peter Safran’s DC Universe. Season 2 will reportedly take place after the events in Superman. Peacemaker season 2 has no official release date, though it will arrive after Superman hits theaters on July 11, 2025.

3 underrated Netflix movies you should watch this weekend (December 27-29)
underrated netflix movies to watch this weekend december 27 29 2024 kneecap hero

The week between Christmas and New Year's is the most awkward one of the year. Why? Well, personally, I don't know what to do with myself. All the Christmas festivities are over, but it's too early to start those resolutions. (And no, I'm not going to start my annual New Year's diet early. Someone has to eat those leftovers.)

The best way to spend time right now is to catch up on things you missed doing in the last 12 months. For me, that's watching movies I heard about and somehow missed watching like Red Rooms or The Order. Along those lines, the following list contains three worthwhile movies streaming on Netflix that are worth your time and attention on the final weekend of the year.

Stop! And watch these 3 great movies leaving Netflix by January 1
A boy puts his hands over books and leans on them.

The new year is on the horizon, with 2025 within our grasp. By now, you know the drill with Netflix. Movies will be departing from the service at the end of December. 300, Jaws, Big Daddy, Captain Phillips, and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind are some movies leaving the service by January 1.

Unfortunately, the carnage does not stop there. With a list of over 40 movies, it can be quite stressful to choose one movie. That's why this list has three: the fourth film in a popular racing franchise, a romantic coming-of-age tale, and an action-packed thriller.

3 underrated Netflix movies you should watch this weekend (January 3-5)
A soldier looks ahead in Number 24.

2025 is here, and it's weird living in the future. But some things remain the same: Early January still stinks, and all the good movies have already been released and watched. Nosferatu? Seen it. A Complete Unknown? Watched it opening day. What's a person to do for the weekend?

I should probably exercise, but I'd rather watch a good movie or two. Netflix has plenty of them, and these three underrated movies are just the ticket for spending quality time at home. One is a recent arrival you may not have heard of, while the other two are older movies starring actors who are still headlining blockbusters today.
