Summary
ThePeacemakerseason 2 opening credits will revamp the famous dance number featured in the first season. Fans can’t wait to see it, and John Cena recently hyped up the new dance routine.
ThePeacemakeropening credits were one of the most memorable aspects of the first season. It featured the main cast members doing a deadpan dance number to Wig Wam’s “Do You Wanna Taste It,” resulting in a slight resurgence for the Norwegian glam metal band and prompting fans torecreate thePeacemakerdanceon social media. Of course, becausePeacemakerseason 2 will feature a cast shakeup, the dance number will need to be revised by returning choreographer Charissa Barton.
During an interview withCollider, Cena admitted he wasn’t surePeacemakerseason 1’s opening credits dance numberwould work while filming it. However, filming thePeacemakerseason 2 opening credits dance was a different experience, as everyone involved felt pressure to live up to expectations now that they knew the first season’s number was a success. Fortunately, instead of being daunted by the pressure, the cast was excited while filming the new intro, which Cena hoped will show on screen.
Then, when it became such a part of the show, I think everybody this time was just so excited, and I really think that’s going to show. I’m very happy with it. I want to say so much more, but I’ll just say I’m very happy with it. Everyone was super enthused and also understood how important it is this time around, and I really hope that shows. I know the show is great. In my mind, the opening number is great. I hope the world agrees.
Cena said thePeacemakerseason 2 dance number is a “nice” way to introduce and credit the key cast members. Still, he reminded fans that multiple people behind the camera brought the dance number to the screen. While they won’t be in front of the camera, Cena noted that these individuals deserve recognition.
It’s just a nice way to introduce everybody and also give everybody credit. I tip my hat to James Gunn. It does take a village, and gosh, we got so many heroes behind the camera. They should get a tip of the cap, too. So, it’s a great way to thank everybody for putting a whole lot of effort into making something good.
While fans are excited to see the newPeacemakerseason 2 opening credits, there is far more interest in how the series connects to the DC Universe’s continuity. ThePeacemakerensemble is among the few returning characters from the defunct DC Extended Universe. However, Gunn has explained that events fromPeacemakerseason 1 andThe Suicide Squadare only DCU canonif they are mentioned in DCU projects. Otherwise, Gunn considersPeacemakerseason 1,The Suicide Squad, and all other DCEU events “bad memories” of what happened before.
For instance,Peacemaker killing Rick Flag inThe Suicide Squadis DCU canon because it’s mentioned in the animated seriesCreatures Commandos(in which Frank Grillo voiced Rick Flag Sr.), not because it happened inThe Suicide Squad. So, fans are more interested than ever to see what events fromPeacemakerseason 1 are still canon and howPeacemakerseason 2 will affect future DCU projects. There’s still over half a year to wait, so fans must be patient.
Peacemakerseason 2 is scheduled to premiere on Max in August 2025.
