The battle for Middle-earth intensifies in the new trailer for The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power season 2. The footage debuted during a Rings of Power panel at the 2024 San Diego Comic-Con.

Meanwhile, Galadriel (Morfydd Clark), who noticeably wears one of the forged rings, is still dealing with the aftermath of Sauron’s deception. Galadriel and Elrond (Robert Aramayo) prepare for battle against an army of orcs in the forest. The trailer also gives fans a look at Tom Bombadil (Rory Kinnear), a Tolkien character making their live-action debut.

“As friendships are strained and kingdoms begin to fracture, the forces of good—Elves and dwarves, orcs and men, wizards and Harfoots—will struggle ever more valiantly to hold on to what matters to them most of all: each other,” the season 2 synopsis reads.

John Cena as Peacemaker with his helmet off in Peacemaker.

The new DC Universe (DCU) from James Gunn and Peter Safran will begin next month with the arrival of the animated TV series Creature Commandos. The DCU is nearly a complete reset from the DC Extended Universe (DCEU), the previously shared universe from 2013 to 2023. In an interview with IGN, Gunn clarified that everything seen or spoken about in Creature Commandos or any project released after that is canon in the DCU. However, there is one major exception.

Gunn said, “The truth is almost all of Peacemaker is canon with the exception of Justice League … which we will kind of deal with in the next season of Peacemaker." The scene in question happens at the end of Peacemaker season 1, when the Justice League, including Jason Momoa’s Aquaman and Ezra Miller’s Flash, are late arrivals to the fight against the Butterflies.
