James Gunn reveals Peacemaker Season 2 will have a “really big cameo”

James Gunn acknowledges that fans have been eagerly anticipating the arrival of Peacemaker Season 2 for quite some time. However, he promises that the wait will be worth it, as there are several unexpected elements in store – including a “significant surprise appearance.

In 2021, John Cena made his first appearance as the lead character in The Suicide Squad. Later, he continued this role in the HBO Max series, which unfolded after the movie and focused on him joining Project Butterfly – a secretive group assembled by Amanda Waller to combat an alien species that behaves like parasites.

The series was enormously successful on the streaming service, garnering growing audience interest for each episode and earning favorable critiques (boasting a 93% score on Rotten Tomatoes). But, that was over three years back, and the landscape has significantly evolved since then.

In summary, James Gunn has been appointed as co-CEO for DC, and the DC Universe will officially commence in July, featuring Superman. Notably, the Peacemaker character plays a significant role in the future plans of this franchise.

James Gunn reveals key details about Peacemaker Season 2

In the initial sneak peek for Peacemaker’s second season, appearances by Hawkgirl, played by Isabela Merced, and Green Lantern, portrayed by Nathan Fillion, who are both part of the Justice League, have been confirmed.

In the given season, not only do we encounter characters like Isabela, Nathan, and Sean who resemble Superman, but also various other characters hailing from diverse areas within the DC Universe and associated with Superman, as explained by Gunn to Entertainment Weekly.

“There might even be one really, really, really big cameo near the end of the show.”

Who is he referring to in his conversation? There’s a high probability it could be David Corenswet as Superman, but there’s also a slim chance he might reveal another DC Universe casting. Perhaps the studio’s fresh Batman (it could be Robert Pattinson) or maybe even Wonder Woman’s actor will show up. So, who knows, we might find out soon!

James Gunn hints that ‘PEACEMAKER’ Season 2 could introduce a variety of characters from different corners of the DC Universe and possibly Superman. Moreover, he suggests a potential major surprise appearance towards the finale of the series.

In Season 2, you might encounter a few links to the broader DC Universe, largely through the Quantum Unfolding Chamber (QUC), which was pivotal in the first season’s narrative. As the QUC is at the heart of Peacemaker’s storyline for Season 2, according to Gunn, it could be that Peacemaker encounters another version of himself through the chamber, as hinted in the trailer.

As I worked on it, it became closely linked to our other DC projects, and it shares strong ties with Superman and the events that follow,” explained Gunn.

Initially, I had an approximate plan for my actions, yet it turned out to be rather distinct from the final outcome of the show.

This series is full of unexpected twists and turns, with some surprising revelations in episode 1, as well as episodes 6 and 8. It’s a deeply emotional season that combines humor, similar to the first season, but also delves deeper into more heartfelt moments. Overall, it’s a fantastic watch!
