Tim Meadows in a supporting role
Jennifer Holland's Dirty Dancing lift in the new opening credits is also there, as she revealed herself at SDCC.
James Gunn's Superman Connection
Peacemaker Season 2 is officially part of James Gunn's new DC Universe, right alongside his upcoming Superman film. In fact, it even shows up in a post-credit scene in Superman, where he hilariously mocks Kryptonian on a talk show, saying he 'always knew something was off."
Frank Grillo's Rick Flag Sr, now a US General and the Director of ARGUS, connects the franchise. He was first seen in Creature Commandos and now plays a major role in Peacemaker as he seeks revenge for his son Rick Flag Jr's death.
Another major connection? The Justice Gang, led by Maxwell Lord and first introduced in Superman, is also making an appearance this season. Peacemaker tries to join them but gets rejected, according to Screenrant.
At SDCC 2025, James Gunn shared that Peacemaker Season 2 will explore themes like forgiveness, relationships and dealing with past trauma. It is still haunted by the death of Rick Flag Jr and the ghost of his father, Auggie, seen in Season 1. He also hinted at a romantic angle between Peacemaker and Harcourt, which started in Season 1. Well, overall, Peacemaker Season 2 looks like a ride you would not want to miss.

Saiyaara Turns Gold: Mohit Suri's Net Worth Now Soars Past ₹113 Crore
Last Updated: From brewing tea on sets to delivering chart-topping blockbusters like Saiyaara, Mohit Suri's journey is a bittersweet blend of hustle, heartbreak, and hits. Director Mohit Suri has always had storytelling in his DNA. As the cousin of Alia Bhatt and nephew of Mahesh Bhatt, he grew up surrounded by filmmakers and actors. But unlike many star kids, his path wasn't paved in glamour. He began as an office assistant at T-Series, fetching coffee and running errands, before assisting Vikram Bhatt on films like Kasoor and Awara Pagal Deewana. Suri made his directorial debut with Zeher in 2005, but his real turning point came with Murder 2 in 2011. The success of Aashiqui 2, Ek Villain, and Malang solidified his space in Bollywood as the go-to director for intense, emotion-driven thrillers laced with memorable music. Latest Hit Saiyaara: Melancholy, Melody, and Mixed Reactions His most recent release, Saiyaara (2025), continues his signature style, a haunting romantic thriller steeped in emotional trauma, love, and loss. The film's stirring soundtrack and powerful performances have earned it commercial success. However, Saiyaara also attracted criticism for allegedly borrowing heavily from the Korean film A Moment to Remember, with audiences questioning the originality of its storyline. Personal Life: Manifested Love with Udita Goswami Off-screen, Suri shares a love story as cinematic as his films. He fell for actress Udita Goswami during Paap and has openly shared how he manifested their union. Today, the couple shares a quiet family life with their two children, away from the media glare. A Director with Hits and Hustle in Equal Measure With an estimated net worth of ₹113 crore and a reported per-film fee of ₹8–10 crore, Mohit Suri has come a long way from his early days in production offices. While critics may debate the originality of his ideas, his ability to craft emotionally resonant, music-driven dramas keeps him in high demand. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Telugu Film Workers Demand 30% Pay Hike, Strike Threatens To Stall Big-Budget Productions
Last Updated: The Telugu Film Employees Federation announced an indefinite strike from Monday, demanding a 30% wage hike, affecting over 10,000 workers and risking big-budget film production. The Telugu film industry is bracing for a major halt in production activities as the Telugu Film Employees Federation announced an indefinite strike starting Monday. The move comes after prolonged negotiations with producers failed to yield an agreement on wage revisions, placing big-budget films and web series currently in production at risk of a complete standstill. At the heart of the standoff is the federation's demand for a 30 per cent hike in daily wages. Representing 24 categories of film workers, the federation has pointed to stagnant pay scales over the past three years as a major concern, stating it has severely impacted the livelihoods of more than 10,000 daily wage workers. A former general secretary of the federation noted that daily wages have remained unchanged despite the rising cost of living in Hyderabad. Additionally, workers have demanded more timely disbursal of wages, calling for a shift from delayed payments to daily settlements. 'Our workers will not report to duty from tomorrow," a federation representative confirmed, asserting that the decision followed exhaustive efforts to resolve the issue through dialogue. The strike decision was formalised during a meeting of the federation's executive committee held on Sunday. The federation has taken a firm stance, announcing that film shoots will only resume if producers provide written assurances agreeing to the revised pay structure. Talks between the Telugu Film Producers Council, the Telugu Film Chamber of Commerce, and the federation have reportedly been ongoing for several months. Producers had earlier proposed a 5 per cent wage increase, which the federation rejected as inadequate. Producer C Kalyan, while opposing the strike, acknowledged its potential impact. He described the strike as a 'pressure tactic" but added, 'A month-long production halt could hurt the very daily wage workers they're trying to support." He urged both sides to return to negotiations and find a middle ground. The outcome of the strike remains uncertain. That being said, the Telugu film industry could be heading into a period of prolonged disruption unless a resolution is reached soon. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
