John Cena appears as Peacemaker in the new Superman film despite originating in The Suicide Squad within the previous DCEU continuity. Peacemaker's first-season finale showed him meeting the Justice League, implying ties to the DCEU and complicating his appearance in the new continuity. Season two opens with a reshot "Previously in the DCU" sequence that swaps the Justice League call for the Justice Gang arriving instead, featuring Nathan Fillion's Guy Gardner and Isabela Merced's Hawkgirl, with silhouetted Superman, Supergirl, and Mister Terrific. The change aligns Peacemaker with the current DCU and avoids a convoluted multiverse explanation.
In Peacemaker's first season finale, Cena's character met up with the Justice League from the previous film universe, including Jason Momoa's Aquaman and Ezra Miller's Flash. The rest of the team was mostly obscured in shadows and only seen as silhouettes, but Momoa and Miller's presence makes it clear they're likely accompanied by Henry Cavill's version of Superman, who portrayed the superhero from 2013 to 2023. This ties Peacemaker to the old continuity, which again complicates Cena's appearance in .
Season two's premiere episode, "The Ties That Grind," addresses this with an opening sequence called "Previously in the DCU," which recaps the previous season with one major change. Rather than calling the Justice League for help as he did in the finale, this section is reshot and redubbed to instead show the Justice Gang featured in arriving on the scene.
