As production continues on the highly anticipated Peacemaker Season 2, fans are buzzing about the latest teaser revealed by James Gunn. The renowned filmmaker dropped a captivating image that hints at a new character entering the fray, sparking a whirlwind of theories within the community.
Shared across his social media platforms, Gunn’s post featured a striking image showcasing the bare back of a vigorously built man adorned with pigtail braids and feathers on his arms. The accompanying question, “Who might this be?”, has piqued the curiosity of many fans eager for details regarding the upcoming season.
The immediate speculation predominantly points towards Apache Chief, a notable American superhero originating from the Hanna-Barbera Super Friends cartoon series during the '70s and '80s. His entry into the DC universe would not only be a homage to classic content but would also bring exciting dynamics with existing Peacemaker characters.

Apache Chief’s signature ability to transform into a gigantic 50-foot version of himself has fans imagining how his powers might play into Peacemaker’s wild narrative style. This has raised possibilities for comedic scenarios intertwined with high stake conflicts.
Many suggest that the silhouette in the image aligns well with other fan-favorite characters such as Long Shadow and Manitou Raven, both stemming from similar lore. The intrigue surrounding these prospect characters has led to a flurry of fan art and discussion in various social media spaces.

However, the speculation doesn’t end with Apache Chief. Some fans have postulated that this mysterious figure could instead be a different character entirely, such as The Warlord, a deep-cut sword-and-sorcery hero from the '70s, or even John Butcher, a vigilante from the pages of DC Comics.
Regardless of the character's identity, the iconic image marks a significant milestone as it reveals the first official glimpse of Peacemaker Season 2. Although there is no confirmed release date yet, Gunn has indicated that the series is expected to premiere in the latter half of 2025, following the theatrical debut of Superman.
This new season promises to seamlessly pick up from the events of Season 1, excitingly expanding on the themes and characters that fans have grown attached to. Moreover, returning to the cast is Frank Grillo, portraying Rick Flag Sr., a character he is also voicing in the upcoming animated series, Creature Commandos.
In the meantime, fans can revisit Season 1, which has received rave reviews for its unique take on superheroes and the intricate portrayal of flawed characters. Samantha Nelson from IGN awarded the season a stellar 9/10, stating it reflects James Gunn’s insight into the complexities of heroism and friendship in today’s climate.
