James Gunn shared some insight into the plans for the DCU at the Peacemaker season 2 premiere and elsewhere.

Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter at the premiere, Gunn was asked about how the new season of the series plays into the DCU. “It’s a big part, definitely Superman leads directly into Peacemaker; it should be noted that this is for adults, not for children, but Superman leads into this show, and then we have the setting up of all of the rest of the DCU in this season of Peacemaker; it’s incredibly important,” said Gunn. “Lots of guest stars coming up, lots of characters that are showing up that we’ve already met in Superman. I don’t think there’s anything that I’ve ever done that I love more than this season of Peacemaker, so I’m so excited for people to see it.”

As to the heavily discussed next film to feature Superman, Gunn said, “I’ve already finished the treatment for the next story in what I’ll call the ‘Superman Saga.’ The treatment is done, which means a very, very worked-out treatment. I’m working on that and hopefully going into production on that not too far away from today.”

Peacemaker season 2 will premiere on Aug. 21.
