The comic book multiverse—especially DC and Marvel—has always flirted with eerie parallels, like two universes staring at each other in a cracked mirror. But James Gunn is not rehashing tropes—he is detonating expectations. As Peacemaker Season 2 barrels toward us, Gunn has been fueling the hype train with cryptic teases and electrifying updates. His carefully laid breadcrumbs have the fandom buzzing like a live wire. And just when it seems like he has said it all, Gunn stirs the pot again—this time by teasing a brand-new, show-stopping cameo.

James Gunn just dropped a major Peacemaker Season 2 update, teasing deep ties to Superman, sending fans into a frenzy of anticipation and wild speculation.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, James Gunn revealed that Peacemaker Season 2 will introduce numerous characters from various parts of the DC Universe, including connections to Superman. He also hinted that the season will feature a particularly massive cameo near the end, promising, "There might even be one really, really, really big cameo near the end of the show." This season is shaping up to expand the DCU’s interconnected world with twists and turns more than ever before, raising the stakes and excitement for fans everywhere.

In Peacemaker Season 2, James Gunn reveals that after saving the world from the Butterflies, Christopher Smith believes he has earned superhero status. But when he meets the Superman crew, they mock him, leaving him struggling for respect among metahumans. Starting off as the universe’s punchline, Peacemaker’s journey explores his fight to be taken seriously, while the rest of the 11th Street crew wrestles with their own battles. Despite Gunn’s connection to Superman, fans once speculated that Gunn threw shade at Zack Snyder's Superman.

A single phrase from James Gunn got fans buzzing, sparking wild speculation about some low-key shade being thrown Zack Snyder's way.

During an interview with Fandango alongside the Superman cast, James Gunn shared a thoughtful insight while talking about the excitement of unveiling the film’s opening at CinemaCon. He explained that Superman “do not let anyone die ever,” firmly believing in protecting every life at all costs, while Lois Lane took a more practical approach, focusing on doing the greatest good for the most people. Fans quickly picked up on this and interpreted it as a subtle critique of Zack Snyder’s portrayal, sparking plenty of online discussion.

James Gunn’s statement quickly drew parallels to Man of Steel, where Zack Snyder’s Superman’s decision to slaughter General Zod sparked years of controversy. Gunn’s depiction of a Superman who does not let anyone die ever was interpreted by some as a quiet jab at Snyder’s more morally complicated version. Although Gunn never directly named Snyder, fans were quick to make the connection. On the flip side, Gunn’s Man of Steel is set to feature a more humorous tone, and excitement for Peacemaker Season 2 is reaching new heights, especially with the latest news that has fans buzzing even more.
