Peacemaker season 2 might just foreshadow the future of the DCU fans have long been waiting for, and one of those futures to uncover is whether or not the former Suicide Squad member would survive by the finale. So, will Peacemaker die in season 2?
WARNING: This article contains MAJOR SPOILERS for Peacemaker season 2, so proceed with caution.
Are There Any Signs Peacemaker Might Meet His End in Season 2?
Season 2 sees Peacemaker running around Earth-X in a world where the Nazis won World War II and took over the planet. Considering that James Gunn has promised that "big surprises" are coming our way, could the death of the titular hero be one of them?
Peacemaker is connected to Superman and sets the stage for the future of the DC Universe. So it is crucial that the studios go for what heroes and villains remain in the ongoing Gods and Monsters slate.

However, fans worry over the main character's potential death after witnessing the ending of Suicide Squad. While Peacemaker technically survived in the knick of time, who's to say the series won't take a different direction?
After all, Gunn did initially "kill off" Cena's Peacemaker in the film. It wasn't until he ended up growing fond of the character that he broke his own rule by bringing him back to life.
We all know how anti-hero-centered shows usually steer the road for their redemption arcs, and death is right on the table. But if Gunn has bigger plans for Peacemaker, then his death is unlikely to happen.
If anything, his "survival" over that bullet in the 2021 film further proves he might just be lucky in saving his own skin.
Did Peacemaker Die in the DC Comic Books? What His Future Holds
Peacemaker has died in one of the DC comic books. Specifically in the Shadow Fighters storyline, where he crashed his helicopter into Eclipso's controlled tank in Eclipso #13. This explains why fans were always skeptical about why he was brought back to life in Suicide Squad.
The comic book storyline may pose a threat to Peacemaker season 2, but so far, his connection to the Superman sequel, Man of Tomorrow, may be exactly the immortality ticket he'll need to stay active in the DCU.
Meanwhile, fans ought to stick along for the ride as Peacemaker season 2 episode 7 premieres tomorrow on HBO Max.
