James Gunn Reveals First Look At 1 Peacemaker Season 2 Finale Cameo (And Teases One More)

by

James Gunn, co-CEO of DC Studios, has shared a sneak peek at a surprising cameo in the upcoming finale of *Peacemaker* Season 2. The last episode of the HBO Max series left viewers on a cliffhanger with Christopher Smith (John Cena) being arrested by ARGUS after using the Quantum Unfolding Chamber. The trailer for the finale shows ARGUS, under the direction of Rick Flag Sr., investigating the various dimensions accessed through the Chamber while Peacemaker remains incarcerated. However, fans are particularly excited about a confirmed cameo Gunn has already hinted at.

James Gunn, the head of DC Studios, has already said David Corenswet, who will play Superman, won’t be in the season finale. However, Gunn did share some clues about a surprise cameo, suggesting it will be someone unexpected. With fans actively guessing who will make an appearance in *Peacemaker* Season 2, Gunn recently offered another hint before the finale airs.

Okay, so I just saw James Gunn post on X, and apparently those little alien critters – you know, the ones the bug-eyed alien always carries around to the QUC – are coming back! He says we’ll see them in the finale of *Peacemaker* Season 2. I’m honestly so curious about what role they’ll play this time around!

Okay, so I’m super excited for the ‘Peacemaker’ finale on HBO Max tomorrow night! Apparently, the butterflies – or as I like to call them, the ‘vermin’ – are returning, but it sounds like we’re in for even *more* surprises. It seems like there are other little creatures joining the fun, and honestly, I can’t wait to see what’s going on!

Alongside the confirmation, the director also shared the first look at one of the episode’s cameos: 

If you haven’t seen it, the Kyphotic alien is a recurring joke in Season 2 of *Peacemaker*. The alien keeps bringing creatures from his home planet to burn in the incinerator at the QUC.

There’s been a lot of speculation about the alien’s role in the finale. Some think it will be major, while others suggest it could be a version of Peacemaker from another universe, or even a hidden villain we’ve overlooked.

Fans are eagerly awaiting the season finale of *Peacemaker*, as it will directly connect to the upcoming *Man of Tomorrow*. This connection was hinted at by Lex Luthor’s appearance in episode 6 of the current season. The show stars John Cena, Jennifer Holland, Danielle Brooks, Freddie Stroma, Steve Agee, Frank Grillo, and Tim Meadows. The finale will be available on HBO Max on October 9, 2025, at 9 p.m. Eastern Time.

Who Are the Cameos in Peacemaker Season 2 Finale?

The most intriguing part of James Gunn’s recent hint is his suggestion that we’ll see more than just one unusual creature in the season finale of *Peacemaker*. Some fans believe this refers to interdimensional imps – small, childlike beings known for their mischievous and reality-altering powers.

It’s now official within the DC Universe that interdimensional imps exist. They were spotted in a scene from *Superman* while the Justice League was handling a crisis. This addition fits well with the established lore, as the QUC contains many other dimensions that ARGUS is prepared to investigate.

The latest trailer for Peacemaker Season 2 showed a brief scene at the 0:18 mark hinting at a childlike dimension, which may be the origin of the imps we’ll see in the new season.

Fans have speculated that the rats from the movie *Ratcatcher 2* might show up in the season finale of *Peacemaker*, based on a post by James Gunn mentioning “vermin.” There’s also a theory that Tim Meadows’ character, Langston Fleury, is actually Martian Manhunter in disguise. Gunn has hinted that characters from the older Charlton Comics universe could appear in Season 2, potentially including Ted Kord as Blue Beetle, Captain Atom, and The Question.
