DC's Peacemaker Sequel Series Isn't Canceled, James Gunn Confirms
A new update has confirmed that James Gunn's DC series is not canceled and remains in active development. Gunn debunked fan rumors on Threads that claimed the show was canceled or reworked. The director confirmed its status after months of silence since the project's original announcement in early 2023. Responding to a fan question on Threads about rumors that the Waller show was being reworked into a Checkmate series, James Gunn replied, 'Yes,' when asked if the rumors were 'B.S.' He also confirmed with a simple 'Yes' that Waller remains in development. Gunn introduced the Waller series in January 2023 as part of the DCU's first slate, which included five films and five shows. Viola Davis leads the cast as Amanda Waller. She stars alongside Steve Agee as John Economos, Danielle Brooks as Leota Adebayo, and Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr. The show originally targeted a late 2024 release, but the 2023 Hollywood strikes reportedly delayed production. Warner Bros. has not announced a new release date. Meanwhile, Davis has continued portraying Waller in other DC projects. She voiced the character in four episodes of the animated Creature Commandos series, released in 2024. She also appeared in Peacemaker Season 1, which Gunn confirmed is canon within the DCU, excluding the Justice League cameo. Warner Bros. plans to release Waller on its streaming platform, Max, but has not disclosed an official date. In a January 2024 Threads post, Gunn stated Waller does not appear in Superman, but that comment predates the film's production. ARGUS now operates under Rick Flag Sr.'s control, a storyline explored in Peacemaker Season 2. As a result, Waller's role in the DCU could shift significantly. Rumors claimed DC had recently canceled the Waller series. However, Gunn clarified in a separate post that the mystery cancellation did not involve Waller and reaffirmed its active status in the upcoming slate. Superman, the DCU's first live-action film, releases on July 11, 2025. Originally reported by Anubhav Chaudhry on SuperHeroHype.

But we're going to get plenty of chances to see Guy Gardner's ring both at rest and in use. So far, Fillion's Guy Gardner seems to be making at least as many appearances in the DCU as any other character so far, if not more than most. We'll be meeting perhaps the most arrogant Green Lantern ever to wear a ring in this year's "Superman", but that won't be the last time we see him. Along with Isabella Merced as Hawkgirl and Sean Gunn as Maxwell Lord, he'll have a cameo in the second season of "Peacemaker", premiering in August. He still won't be done. After "Peacemaker", Fillion will reprise the role of Guy Gardner in HBO's upcoming series "Lanterns". As long as James Gunn is co-head of DC Studios, it wouldn't be a bad bet that Fillion's Guy Gardner will continue to pop up across the DCU. They first collaborated on the 2006 horror film "Slither", and Fillion has since appeared in almost everything Gunn has directed including 2010's "Super", two of the three "Guardians of the Galaxy" films, and 2021's "The Suicide Squad". Guy Gardner, by the way, isn't the first Green Lantern Fillion has played. He voiced the animated version of Hal Jordan/Green Lantern in "Green Lantern: Emerald Knight", "Justice League: Doom," "Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox," "Justice League: Throne of Atlantis," "The Death of Superman," and "Reign of the Supermen."

Pakistan to nominate Trump for Nobel Peace Prize
By Saeed Shah ISLAMABAD (Reuters) -Pakistan said on Saturday it would recommend U.S. President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, an accolade that he has said he craves, for his work in helping to resolve the recent conflict between India and Pakistan. Some analysts in Pakistan said the move might persuade Trump to think again about potentially joining Israel in striking Iran's nuclear facilities. Pakistan has condemned Israel's action as a violation of international law and a threat to regional stability. In May, a surprise announcement by Trump of a ceasefire brought an abrupt end to a four-day conflict between nuclear-armed foes India and Pakistan. Trump has since repeatedly said that he averted a nuclear war, saved millions of lives, and grumbled that he got no credit for it. Pakistan agrees that U.S. diplomatic intervention ended the fighting, but India says it was a bilateral agreement between the two militaries. "President Trump demonstrated great strategic foresight and stellar statesmanship through robust diplomatic engagement with both Islamabad and New Delhi, which de-escalated a rapidly deteriorating situation," Pakistan said. "This intervention stands as a testament to his role as a genuine peacemaker." Governments can nominate people for the Nobel Peace Prize. There was no immediate response from Washington. A spokesperson for the Indian government did not respond to a request for comment. Trump has repeatedly said that he's willing to mediate between India and Pakistan over the disputed Kashmir region, their main source of enmity. Islamabad, which has long called for international attention to Kashmir, is delighted. But his stance has upended U.S. policy in South Asia, which had favored India as a counterweight to China, and put in question previously close relations between Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. In a social media post on Friday, Trump gave a long list of conflicts he said he had resolved, including India and Pakistan and the Abraham accords in his first term between Israel and some Muslim-majority countries. He added: "I won't get a Nobel Peace Prize no matter what I do." Pakistan's move to nominate Trump came in the same week its army chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, met the U.S. leader for lunch. It was the first time that a Pakistani military leader had been invited to the White House when a civilian government was in place in Islamabad. Trump's planned meeting with Modi at the G7 summit in Canada last week did not take place after the U.S. president left early, but the two later spoke by phone, in which Modi said "India does not and will never accept mediation" in its dispute with Pakistan, according to the Indian government. Mushahid Hussain, a former chair of the Senate Defence Committee in Pakistan's parliament, suggested nominating Trump for the peace prize was justified. "Trump is good for Pakistan," he said. "If this panders to Trump's ego, so be it. All the European leaders have been sucking up to him big time." But the move was not universally applauded in Pakistan, where Trump's support for Israel's war in Gaza has inflamed passions. "Israel's sugar daddy in Gaza and cheerleader of its attacks on Iran isn't a candidate for any prize," said Talat Hussain, a prominent Pakistani television political talk show host, in a post on X. 'And what if he starts to kiss Modi on both cheeks again after a few months?"

Pakistan says it wants to recommend Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize
Pakistan has announced its intention to recommend Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, citing his role in de-escalating the recent conflict between India and Pakistan. The accolade is one President Trump has openly expressed a desire for, having previously lamented a perceived lack of credit for his diplomatic efforts. The nomination stems from President Trump's intervention in May, which saw a surprise ceasefire announcement bring an abrupt end to a four-day confrontation between the nuclear-armed neighbours. President Trump has since repeatedly claimed that his actions averted a nuclear war and saved millions of lives. The move by Pakistan has prompted speculation among some analysts within the country that it could be a strategic effort to influence President Trump's position on a potential joint strike with Israel against Iran's nuclear facilities. Pakistan has previously condemned Israel's actions in the region as a violation of international law and a significant threat to regional stability. Pakistan agrees that U.S. diplomatic intervention ended the fighting, but India says it was a bilateral agreement between the two militaries.
