Peacemaker Season 2 Brings Back Suicide Squad Character

Peacemaker Season 2 continues to surprise fans, and in fact, Episode 3 has delivered one of its most unexpected callbacks yet. Moreover, the episode referenced Dr. June Moone, better known as the Enchantress, marking her first mention since 2016’s Suicide Squad. This detail not only deepens Rick Flag’s backstory but also, consequently, raises speculation about her possible future in the DCU.

Peacemaker Season 2 Reveals Rick Flag and Harcourt’s Secret Affair

The episode opens with a flashback set three years earlier, showing Emilia Harcourt (Jennifer Holland) and Rick Flag (Joel Kinnaman) together. Their secret relationship adds emotional depth to both characters, while the dialogue directly references June Moone.

Quotes From the Flashback Scene:

Harcourt: “You ship out today, you should really be with June.”
Flag: “You’re jealous?”
Harcourt: “You know I’m not. I’m just not fond of lying.”
Flag: “Yeah, well, she’s a f*ing sorceress.”
Harcourt: “And?”
Flag: “And I’m afraid if I break up with her, she’s gonna burrow a hole through the planet.”

This exchange confirms that Rick Flag and June Moone were still together during The Suicide Squad, up until his death at the hands of Peacemaker.

Enchantress’s Role and Her Possible DCU Return

In David Ayer’s Suicide Squad (2016), June Moone was introduced as an archaeologist possessed by the sorceress known as the Enchantress. Rick Flag’s mission was to stop her destructive plans while protecting June. Eventually, the Enchantress was destroyed when Flag crushed her heart, setting June free.

Now, her mention in Peacemaker Season 2 clearly suggests that James Gunn may revisit her character. In addition, this callback could eventually pave the way for June Moone’s return, possibly as someone seeking revenge on Peacemaker for Rick Flag’s tragic death. Moreover, it also highlights Gunn’s ongoing approach of blending elements from the DCEU into the new DCU canon. As a result, he maintains continuity while simultaneously expanding fresh storylines that keep fans engaged.

Ultimately, this subtle reference not only enriches the narrative of Peacemaker Season 2 but also fuels fan theories about future appearances of Enchantress and other legacy characters in upcoming DC projects.
