As the Peacemaker Season 2 finale episode gets closer, John Cena’s Chris Smith, aka Peacemaker, finds himself at his lowest point. After escaping an alternate Earth ruled by a Nazi regime in Episode 7, he voluntarily surrenders himself to the Advanced Research Group of the United States (A.R.G.U.S.) and the authorities, giving up the “Quantum Unfolding Chamber,” a device that can open doors to many different dimensions. While behind bars, Smith isolates himself and struggles with the guilt over all the deaths that occurred around him.
Meanwhile, A.R.G.U.S. has taken control of the Chamber and started using it for their own plans. According to the finale episode’s synopsis, Rick Flag Sr. sends his team to look for another dimension where he can carry out his mission.
Peacemaker, inspired by the character introduced in James Gunn’s 2021 movie “The Suicide Squad,” tells the story of a bold and often arrogant man who will do anything to achieve peace, even if it means using violence to do so. Gunn wrote all episodes of Season 2 and directed 3 of them, including the first one. With the finale coming soon, viewers can expect a thrilling ending to one of the DC Universe’s most popular shows.
