Peacemaker Is Meeting Guy Gardner In Season 2 Of John Cena's DC Show, And Nathan Fillion Explained Why It Will Be A ‘Powder Keg' When They're Together

After watching the Peacemaker Season 2 trailer last week, I immediately found myself asking what's happened to Viola Davis' Amanda Waller since she's no longer in charge of A.R.G.U.S. I'd be lying, however, if I said I wasn't surprised to learn from the preview that Nathan Fillion's Guy Gardner, Isabela Merced's Hawkgirl and Sean Gunn's Maxwell Lord are appearing in this upcoming DC TV show following their debut in James Gunn's Superman. But as Fillion recently discussed, it's going to be a 'powder keg' when Guy and John Cena's Christopher Smith crossed paths. Fillion briefly discussed his second turn as Earth's bowl-cut Green Lantern while speaking with TVLine, confirming these two characters will definitely not be fans of one another when Peacemaker Season 2 starts airing on the 2025 TV schedule. As he put it: Yeah, it's clear from their relationship that the two of them do not get along. Not a fan of each other. I wouldn't call them both A-listers by any means, but I think they both consider themselves maybe in their hearts they should be A-listers. I think they have a lot to prove. I think they've got chips on their shoulders. And I think it's just a powder keg when they get together. As seen in the trailer, Peacemaker meets Guy Gardner, Hawkgirl and Maxwell Lord when he's trying out for the superhero team Lord has put together that also includes Edi Gathegi's Mister Terrific. Unfortunately for Mr. Smith, a faulty microphone results in him hearing the trio be unimpressed with his qualifications and other things not intended for his ears. Guy is seen laughing at the awkwardness the technical difficulty caused, and he's clearly not broken up about not having Peacemaker as his new teammate.

You can also prepay for a year and save up to 20%.View Deal From the way Nathan Fillion is talking, it sounds like we'll see Peacemaker and Guy Gardner together in more than just this one scene. That snippet of footage doesn't scream 'powder keg' to me, so I'm eager to see just how specifically these two brash personalities clash. Like Fillion pointed out, the irony is that Peacemaker and Guy are pretty similar to one another because they both believe they should be more highly thought of among their superhero peers. At least in Guy's case though, he's already on a superhero team, which I'm sure makes him think he's superior to Christopher Smith. Following our first encounter with Nathan Fillion's Guy Gardner in Superman starting July 11, we'll see just how he and Christopher Smith butt heads when Peacemaker Season 2 premieres August 21 on Max. Fillion will also reprise his DCU character next year in HBO's Lanterns opposite Kyle Chandler's Hal Jordan and Aaron Pierre's John Stewart.

Guy Gardner Returns In Lanterns Following Superman Debut, And I'm Digging What Nathan Fillion Said About How His Character Will Be Different In The DCU Show
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. As someone who's been a Green Lantern fan for over 15 years and was disappointed by how Ryan Reynolds' Green Lantern movie turned out, I'm thrilled that this DC Comics property is getting another shot at live-action thanks to the DC Universe. First, we'll see the bowl cut-boasting Guy Gardner in action next month in James Gunn's Superman, and then we'll meet fellow Green Lantern Corps members Hal Jordan and John Stewart in Lanterns next year. It was announced at the end of March that Nathan Fillion will also reprise Guy in that upcoming DC TV show, and I'm digging what the actor had to say about how his Green Lantern character will differ there compared to how he's depicted in Superman. Lanterns will mark Fillion's third time playing Guy, as he's appearing in Peacemaker Season 2 this August alongside fellow Justice Gang member Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced) and the team's benefactor, Maxwell Lord (Sean Gunn). However, 2026 will be the first time we see this version of Guy interact with other Green Lanterns, and here's what the star of ABC's The Rookie said to EW about how that will look: I think he feels a little bit higher strung in Lanterns. I've done a scene in Lanterns, we filmed it already, where he's contently smug. It's neat to see him in different environments and how those different environments will affect a character.

Kyle Chandler and Aaron Pierre are respectively playing these characters in Lanterns, which will follow them investigating a murder in the American heartland. It's unclear how Guy will get involved, but I'm guessing this will be his first time meeting John and one of his many interactions with Hal if they've both been in the Green Lantern Corps for a while. Fillion also spent some time talking about Guy Gardner's overinflated ego, and how he's a prime example that just because you're a Green Lantern doesn't make you a role model. In the actor's words: What is very true about Guy you don't have to be good and pure of heart to be a Green Lantern. You just have to be fearless. You just have to have the will. And Guy Gardner thinks he can take on Superman. That's how fearless he is. No, you can't take on Superman, dude. I'm curious to learn how Guy Garner ends up factoring into Lanterns, as this story is about Hal and John, so he should only be there to support them rather than steal the show. That said, considering this Green Lantern TV show will also feature Ulrich Thomsen as Sinestro, I wouldn't mind whatsoever seeing Guy trash talk the Korugarian who was once a Green Lantern and now wields the yellow energy of fear. If there's one thing Guy knows how to do, it's annoy an adversary… and his allies too, actually. Lanterns is expected to premiere on HBO sometime in early 2026, with episodes also being available to stream with a Max subscription. Watch Nathan Fillion bring Guy Gardner to life for the first time when Superman is released on July 11.
