New images for Season 2, Episode 7 of DC Studios' Peacemaker tease that a key supporting character will soon be taken prisoner. Introducing an entirely new universe in Season 2, Peacemaker seems to bring one jaw-dropping reveal after another with each episode, all coming in the first season in DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn and Peter Safran's new DCU. Marking the second R-rated streaming show in this universe, the stakes continue to increase with each moment.
Warner Bros. Discovery shared new press photos for Peacemaker Season 2, Episode 7. With major spoilers still being kept secret for the next couple of weeks, Peacemaker's story becomes more intense as Christopher Smith and company continue exploring a brand-new universe. These photos hint at more insane scenes on the way for the next episode, which will put Team Peacemaker in serious jeopardy.
One image shows Robert Patrick's Auggie Smith from Season 2's alternate universe (the first of a few DC should explore) next to Steve Agee's John Economos from the show's original world.
Economos is tied up in a chair next to Auggie Smith, staring at him with a terrified look on his face. This comes after Auggie found Agee's ARGUS agent sneaking around in his house after going through the portal in Earth Prime Peacemaker's Quantum storage closet.
David Denman shows up in another image as Keith Smith, Christopher Smith's brother, whom Chris killed as a child in his own universe.
Elsewhere in the episode, Jennifer Holland returns as the Earth-X version of Emilia Harcourt. This variant is seen wearing a green top, dark skirt, and heels as she goes into her job at ARGUS and waits to find out what will happen with her doppelganger.
Following a heated argument at the end of Episode 6, John Cena's Christopher Smith reconnects with Holland's Earth Prime Emilia Harcourt in ARGUS' headquarters.
Donning a leather jacket, black shirt, and black jeans, the original Harcourt appears understandably distressed as she learns more about the darker side of the new alternate reality.
Peacemaker Season 2 is DC Studios' second streaming series in co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran's new slate of projects in Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters. Starring John Cena, Jennifer Holland, Danielle Brooks, Steve Agee, Robert Patrick, and more, this season highlights Christopher Smith's quest to be more of a hero before discovering an alternate reality that may be everything he is looking for. New episodes of Peacemaker Season 2 debut on HBO Max on Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET.
How Will Peacemaker Season 2 End?
Things are about to hit the fan in the last two episodes of Peacemaker Season 2, especially after Episode 6's unexpected reveal. Now, Peacemaker and his team will have to fight for their lives, with a crowd of onlookers chasing down Danielle Brooks' Leota Adebayo and showing their racist nature as they try to take her out.
With Economos being held prisoner at the White Dragon's house, fans are sure to see the true nature of Robert Patrick's character after his Earth Prime version proved to be a monster. Particularly knowing that both he and Keith are embedded in this Nazi-esque world, all hell will break loose with Economos and Adebayo's lives on the line.
Peacemaker will also be thrust into the middle of a Harcourt vs. Harcourt struggle at ARGUS, putting him in even more danger once they realize he killed his own doppelganger in Episode 1.
While the end of the story is still a mystery (particularly with the DCU's future being teased in Episode 8), these two episodes will bring the intensity and drama from start to finish.
