Details From Director’s Commentary About Peacemaker and Superman
During the commentary for Superman, Gunn highlights a key scene where John Cena’s Peacemaker appears on a talk show to confront Kal-El, sparking a strong audience reaction. Gunn notes,
“A moment that gets a big reaction every time I watch it with a crowd, which is the reveal of my friend John Cena as Peacemaker,”
and adds,
“And Peacemaker is not a fan of Superman, obviously, and that’s going to be important in the future, actually.”
Upcoming Crossover Between Peacemaker Season 2 and DC Universe
Chris Smith’s character, Peacemaker, returns in the second season of the show airing on HBO Max in the US and NOW in the UK. Gunn also revealed that multiple Superman characters would appear in the season finale, although it is unclear if David Corenswet’s Superman will be among them.
