What Happened in the Season 2 Recap Scene Featuring David Corenswet & Milly Alcock
During Smith/Peacemaker’s encounters in the recap sequence, viewers noticed:
The season 2 premiere updated the recap from Season 1 to better align with the DC Universe.

This allowed for a smoother transition into the DCU timeline while keeping fan-favorite characters present.
- Nathan Fillion’s Guy Gardner
- Isabela Merced’s Hawkgirl

- Silhouetted versions of Superman and Supergirl
The subtle silhouettes sparked speculation about the physical appearances of David Corenswet & Milly Alcock in Season 2.
James Gunn Clarifies the Cameos of David Corenswet & Milly Alcock
Fans wondered whether Alcock and Corenswet actually filmed scenes for their cameos. Gunn explained the process during an interview:
“No, I used plates…Nobody was in the shot. So, I reshot, you know, we used plates from the first season. I shot Guy and Hawkgirl by themselves. So, it was just a bunch of magic.”
He further elaborated on handling the recap sequence efficiently:
“Well, I always knew that had to be the case. I always knew that the one thing that was really the hanging chad from Season 1 that doesn’t fit in with the DCU is Justice League. I had to do something about it, and I handled it in the most simple way I possibly could, that wasn’t too expensive.”
Key Takeaways for Peacemaker Season 2 Fans
From Gunn’s comments, it is clear that Superman and Supergirl did not physically appear in Season 2. Instead, creative editing and visual effects ensured that the recap scene stayed faithful to the DCU timeline. This approach effectively retconned the Justice League from the DCEU, fully integrating Peacemaker into the broader DC Universe.
Moreover, fans can continue following Peacemaker’s adventures, since the next episode of Season 2 is scheduled to release on August 28, 2025. In addition, with Gunn’s careful planning and creative storytelling, the series not only continues its previous storyline but also seamlessly connects with the upcoming DCU projects.
Overall, even though David Corenswet & Milly Alcock remain absent from physical appearances in Season 2, their presence is still felt symbolically. Moreover, it teases their larger roles in the DCU’s future.
