John Cena has expressed heightened pressure to meet audience expectations for the new dance routine.
Fan speculation is rampant regarding how Peacemaker season 1 intertwines with the broader DC Universe (DCU) continuity.

The eagerly anticipated Peacemaker season 2 is set to unveil a fresh interpretation of its signature dance number in the opening credits. The original sequence captured viewers’ hearts in the first season and was widely discussed. John Cena, who reprises his role, recently shared his enthusiasm for the new choreography, promising an exciting twist.

The original opening credits became iconic, showcasing the main cast engaging in a quirky, upbeat dance to Wig Wam’s “Do You Wanna Taste It.”This catchy number not only revitalized interest in the Norwegian glam metal band but also led to numerous fan recreations shared on social media platforms. With the cast undergoing changes for season 2, Charissa Barton, the returning choreographer, will need to adjust the iconic routine to fit the new ensemble.

In a discussion with Collider, Cena reflected on the initial uncertainties surrounding the success of the season 1 dance during its filming. However, the atmosphere for season 2 was markedly different, as both cast members and crew felt a palpable pressure to recreate that initial magic. Instead of succumbing to stress, the team was motivated, fostering excitement throughout the filming process.

“I think everybody this time was just so excited, and I really believe that will be reflected onscreen,”Cena remarked. He emphasized the enthusiasm the cast had towards capturing this essence again, expressing confidence in the final product and hoping that audiences will share his sentiment.

Cena described the Peacemaker season 2 dance routine as a thoughtful tribute to the core cast. He underscored the importance of recognizing the behind-the-scenes talents that contributed to bringing the dance to life. “It takes a village,”he asserted, acknowledging the critical role of crew members who lend their skills to enhance the show’s overall success.

“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.”

As excitement builds for the new opening credits, fans are equally intrigued by how Peacemaker connects with ongoing developments within the DC Universe. With Peacemaker being one of the few returning figures from the previously established DC Extended Universe, many are curious about how season 1’s events align with new storytelling directions. James Gunn has indicated that elements from Peacemaker and The Suicide Squad are considered part of DCU canon only if referenced in future projects. If not, they may simply be treated as “bad memories”of a predecessor universe.

For example, the plot point of Peacemaker’s confrontation with Rick Flag is recognized in the animated series Creatures Commandos but not directly through The Suicide Squad. Consequently, fans are keenly awaiting details on which moments from season 1 remain relevant and how these influences will shape the narrative landscape of future DCU installments. Though there’s still a considerable wait for new content, anticipation for Peacemaker season 2 remains high.

Peacemaker season 2 is slated to premiere on Max in August 2025.
