In the latest season of Peacemaker, a scene featuring Nicholas Hoult’s Lex Luthor at Belle Reve prison sparked rumors about a possible Creature Commandos character cameo. However, James Gunn has clarified that the glowing-eyed figure mentioned is not Doctor Phosphorus or any known Creature Commandos member. This revelation confirms that the anticipated James Gunn Peacemaker cameo involving Creature Commandos did not occur in the second season.
Details of the Lex Luthor Cameo and Its Reception
Episode 6 includes a moment where Lex Luthor interacts with Frank Grillo’s Rick Flag Sr. in prison. During their exchange, Lex comments,
“listening to a bear-sized man with dragon skin butt-fucking a twink with glowing cartoon eyes in a cell beside me every night.”
The peculiar description led fans to speculate that the character with glowing eyes might be Doctor Phosphorus from the Creature Commandos team. Despite the speculation, Gunn explicitly denied this theory on Threads, stating it is definitively not Phos. He did not provide further information on the identity of the figure.
