James Gunn has unintentionally revealed important details regarding the Peacemaker season 2 finale, linking it closely to the broader DC Universe, particularly Superman. This disclosure came through comments on the director’s commentary for the upcoming Superman film, highlighting how elements of the Peacemaker finale intertwine with the larger storyline.
Connections Between Peacemaker Season 2 and Superman
During the director’s commentary for the Superman movie, Gunn disclosed that he reused a particular set originally designed for a mysterious Superman-related scene. This setting involved a group of Secretaries and powerful figures gathered around a roundtable to discuss the threat posed by Superman. It appears these influential characters will return in Peacemaker’s final episodes, hinting at deeper narrative ties.
Gunn mentioned,
“The Saturday after we did [this Superman scene], we shot a scene from Peacemaker [season 2] episode 8, because it had a lot of the same cast from Superman,”
illustrating the crossover nature of the two projects. He continued,
“It had James [Hiroyuki Liao] as Mori and Frank [Grillo] as Rick Flag, and then a couple of other people. I think this will have already aired when this director’s commentary comes out, but I’m not sure actually – I’ll leave the secrets there.”
Potential Surprise Appearances and Story Implications
The “couple of other people” mentioned by Gunn has sparked speculation among fans, with many expecting the potential arrival of iconic characters like Superman and Lex Luthor. This anticipation is fueled by the fact that Peacemaker season 2 serves as a prequel to the upcoming Man of Tomorrow movie, offering a strong possibility that these key figures will soon appear.
The surprise cameos and the narrative developments in Peacemaker season 2’s final episodes are expected to carry significant weight. Jennifer Holland, who portrays Harcourt, confirmed the gravity of these episodes by stating that the last three episodes of the season will have lasting consequences for the entire DC Universe.
Restricted Access to Preserve Spoilers
Given the sensitive and spoiler-heavy nature of the finale, James Gunn made it clear that the episodes would not be sent out for early review by critics, aiming to keep the surprises intact. This decision aligns with the intent to maintain suspense and enhance the viewing experience for fans.
Peacemaker season 2 is currently being released weekly, steadily building anticipation for its climax and its connections to the wider DCU. This convergence underscores James Gunn’s expanding vision for the interconnected narrative across DC properties.
