Peacemaker’s finale wrapped up an exciting season for DC’s most unfancied superhero, even making room for some names for Christopher Smith to yell at. However, director James Gunn has revealed that cut some wild cameo footage, and has no plans of dialing it back as far as guest appearances go.
Considering it wasHBO Max’s first attempt at releasing its own superhero series for DC,Peacemakerreceived markedly positive reviewsfrom critics and viewers, as well as very solid ratings for the streaming service. Thus, as of now,Peacemakerstands among DC’s most prized assets, with the showed being renewed for a second season that could introduce even more obscure DC characters like Bat-Mite.

And fans can definitely count on Gunn to make that happen, because theGuardians of the Galaxy mastermindrecently told GamesRadar thatPeacemakerseason two will feature “more connections in some other stuff as we move forward withPeacemakerand other shows at HBO Max. So those [cameos] will keep coming," Justice League not guaranteed. Gunn also took this opportunity to highlight how much footage he managed to film with Ezra Miller and Jason Momoa. “Ezra went on – and I’m not kidding – for 16 minutes about Aquaman having sex with fish,” Gunn said, in reference to one of Peacemaker’s more scandalous claims about the Justice League’s members.
On this occasion, Gunn also commented that he really pushed for that epic cameo to be possible, although in the end it simply came down to everyone loving the script and how the scene was put together. Ultimately, Miller and Momoa were the twoJustice Leaguemembers to reprise their roles in the surprise cameo.Wonder Womanstar Gal Gadotlikely missed out due to scheduling issues, whileBatman’sspot is currently vacant and Henry Cavill is likely on his way out from the DCEU.
Those Superman and Wonder Woman silhouettes probably didn’t requirethe full might ofPeacemaker’s impressive VFX team, but Gunn did mention that more Justice League cameos aren’t necessarily on the cards. It’s not as ifPeacemakerdoesn’t have plenty of other potential plotlines to pursue when it comes back for a second round, especially after the superhero’s unique personality filled an empty role many fans didn’t even knew they wanted.
Perhaps one of the most remarkable things aboutPeacemakeris how well it did by barely relying on being connected to DC’s bigger properties. Nevertheless, it still remains to be seen what kind of repercussions will stem from the show onto the rest of the flailing DCEU, thoughThe Flashmight have a bigger say on that matter.
