'Peacemaker' reveals new season 2 trailer set to Ozzy Osbourne's 'Road to Nowhere' at Comic-Con 2025
Peacemaker is paying homage to rock legend Ozzy Osbourne with a new season 2 trailer.
During the DC show's Hall H panel at San Diego Comic-Con on Saturday, director James Gunn debuted the new trailer set to Osbourne's song "Road to Nowhere" (the Black Sabbath singer died on Tuesday at 76).
"Ozzy Osbourne in the trailer — that was really sad the other day [when he died], and it wasn't until this morning I remembered we had him in the trailer and in this season," Gunn said. "The soundtrack this season is my favorite soundtrack I've ever done. It's a lot more modern bands, a lot more songs from the past 10-15 years or so."
Check out the new trailer below:
The trailer finally reveals a lot of intel on what fans can expect from the new season. It's been about a month since the events of Superman, which lead directly into Peacemaker season 2 as Peacemaker (John Cena) further explores his Quantum Unfolding Chamber, a.k.a. dimensional portal leading to parallel universes.
The footage also teases more of Peacemaker's will-they-won't-they relationship with Harcourt (Jennifer Holland) and his impending conflict with Rick Flag Sr. (Frank Grillo) over killing his son Rick Flag Jr. (Joel Kinnaman) in The Suicide Squad (2021).
Earlier on Saturday, the Peacemaker director and stars stopped by Entertainment Weekly's Comic-Con video suite to discuss the new opening credits scene, and they all roasted new cast member Grillo for his dance moves.
"He is a terrible dancer," Gunn said as everyone laughed. "But he was a trooper."
"My knees were dying!" Grillo revealed.
Grillo told EW that he was not thrilled about having to film the opening credits dance because he didn't know about it when he signed on to the series.
"I was really against it because I'm a serious actor," Grillo said. "And I was reluctant. And little by little, I became the best dancer out of everyone."When the rest of the cast immediately denied that fact, Grillo added, "I thought so! But I had such a great time watching Tim Meadows suffer."
Peacemaker finally returns with season 2 on Thursday, August 21, at 9 p.m. ET/PT, on HBO Max.

'Fantastic Four: First Steps' proves why the MCU needs to get weirder to shake its post-'End Game' slump
I fell off the MCU hard after "Avengers: Endgame" — and I'm far from the only one. Marvel has struggled to regain its momentum post-Thanos snap, a fact made crystal clear last year when Robert Downey Jr. was announced to rejoin the franchise. Between a convoluted jumble of multiversal plotlines and TV spin-offs, the prominent exit of the MCU's next big bad, and extensive reshoots that left big-ticket sequels like "Captain America: Brave New World" a hot mess, the MCU is facing a reckoning. Don't think that the MCU's stumbling means audiences are any less hungry for superhero flicks. The success of James Gunn's 'Superman' proves there's still a strong appetite for caped crusaders. It's the highest-grossing solo Superman film to date after earning $292.4 million domestically at the box office, overtaking the $291 million total of the 2013 "Man of Steel." The critical success of recent MCU entries like "Thunderbolts" is a promising sign that Marvel may be close to finding its groove again. After seeing "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" in the theaters, I'm confident Marvel can keep this momentum going — but only if it commits to getting weirder from here on out. When it comes to the MCU, weird works. That much was clear even before "Endgame." Taika Waititi's "Thor Ragnarok" was a huge middle finger to the previous Thor movies, steeped in '80s rock opera camp with a comedic bent. It injected new life into one of the most underdeveloped Avengers after his snoozefest of a second film. In that same vein, "Wandavision" is the jewel of the MCU's catalogue of shows on Disney Plus, and it marked a stark departure for the franchise with its mix of sitcom shenanigans, fourth-wall breaking, and horror vibes. I wasn't surprised to learn the show's director, Matt Shakman, is in the director's chair for "First Steps, because both the TV show and the movie share a seriously impressive commitment to a distinct aesthetic. With the Fantastic Four's track record of big-screen adaptations, I wasn't looking forward to this summer's "The Fantastic Four: First Steps." Then I saw the trailer, and I was immediately sold on the look, if nothing else. As a huge "Fallout" fan, the retro-futuristic aesthetic instantly caught my attention. Marvel was able to craft such a unique style for "First Steps" because it's set on a new Earth apart from the rest of the MCU, one where the Space Age never came to a close. And that fact shines through in every shot of this strange, colorful retrofuturistic version of Manhattan. It feels straight out of a comic book, a fever dream of mod fashion, Flash-Gordon-inspired rocket ships, flying cars, and midcentury modern pizzazz. It's visually distinct from anything in the MCU we've seen so far, and I sincerely hope it paves the way for even more stylish (and strange) versions of Earth in future MCU outings.
