During the highly anticipated DC panel in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con this Saturday, director James Gunn surprised fans by unveiling the trailer for the second season of Peacemaker, the series starring John Cena.
The trailer is packed with emotion, featuring Ozzy Osbourne’s “Road to Nowhere” as its soundtrack — a choice that took on new meaning following the death of the rock icon at age 76, which occurred last Tuesday, July 22, 2025.
“Ozzy Osbourne in the trailer — it was very sad the other day [when he passed], and only this morning I remembered that we had him in the trailer and in this season,” Gunn told the audience, visibly moved by the coincidence.
The director also commented on the soundtrack for the new season: “This season’s soundtrack is my favourite I’ve ever done. It features much more modern bands, with many songs from the past 10 to 15 years or so,” he said, revealing that the new episodes promise a powerful and contemporary musical atmosphere.

The new season premieres less than a month after the release of Superman, also directed by Gunn, and delves deeper into the eccentric universe of Peacemaker. John Cena returns to the title role, now exploring an intriguing “Quantum Folding Chamber,” a dimensional portal that takes him to a parallel universe — raising the series’ level of craziness and action even higher.
The second season features a star-studded cast, including Danielle Brooks, Freddie Stroma, Jennifer Holland, Robert Patrick, Frank Grillo, and Michael Rooker, and is set to premiere on August 21, 2025 on HBO Max.
