The final episodes of Peacemaker Season 2 on HBO Max might bring unexpected surprises for fans. Moreover, Frank Grillo, who portrays Rick Flag Sr., hinted at more Superman appearances in the last three episodes of the season. Additionally, DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn described the series as a “direct sequel” to the 2025 Superman film, further highlighting the show’s role in expanding the interconnected DC Universe.
As the DC Universe continues to grow, fans are speculating which characters will appear and how they will tie into the overarching storylines. With Superman already teased, expectations are high for an exciting crossover.
Why Superman Hasn’t Appeared Yet in Peacemaker Season 2
Jennifer Holland, who plays Emilia Harcourt, explained:
“Why didn’t they just call this person? Why didn’t they just call that person? You have to accept that everybody’s busy doing their own thing… each individual group of ‘superheroes’… have their own missions that they have to attend to.”
This insight sheds light on why Superman’s presence has been limited so far. For instance, each hero in the DC Universe has separate storylines and missions, which consequently makes surprise appearances more challenging. Nevertheless, this separation allows for creative storytelling and, ultimately, more impactful cameos when heroes finally interact.
Grillo Teases Potential Superman Appearance
Frank Grillo also teased:
“I do think there’s certainly bad blood between Rick Flag and Superman. But they’re not always available to show up when they’re needed. But saying that … I don’t think you’ve seen more than five episodes? So, we can’t really say anything.”
While the first five episodes have already been reviewed by the press, Episodes 6–8 remain under wraps due to major DCU spoilers. Grillo’s comments have fueled speculation about possible confrontations, alliances, or unexpected twists involving Superman and Rick Flag.
Behind-the-Scenes Rumors in Peacemaker Season 2
Fans have been closely monitoring social media for hints. Previous glimpses behind the scenes, including a selfie of Danielle Brooks with David Corenswet in costume, have sparked rumors of Superman’s surprise cameo. Additionally, fan theories suggest that the interactions between Rick Flag and Superman could set up important events for the broader DC Universe. Some speculate that these episodes may tease plot points leading into future DC Studios films, expanding the continuity in surprising ways.
