James Gunn Way Overhyped The ‘Peacemaker’ Series Finale
James Gunn confirmed Peacemaker’s finale sets key DC Universe plot points, linking to the 2027 Man of Tomorrow movie despite fan disappointment over the lack of a major twist.
- On October 10, Peacemaker Season 2's finale dropped on HBO Max, with James Gunn, DC Studios co-CEO, framing it as a setup for Man of Tomorrow but many fans said it underwhelmed.
- By design, Gunn limited access to the final three episodes, saying the ending is crucial to repositioning DC's properties and that Salvation underpins Peacemaker's DCU role.
- The finale strands Chris Smith in a barren `Salvation` dimension while Rick Flag Sr. and Lex Luthor scheme to use portals as off-books prisons and the 11th Street Kids form Checkmate.
- Gunn confirmed there is no Peacemaker Season 3 for now, and John Cena's Peacemaker will appear in other DCU projects as the slate continues with Supergirl and Lanterns.
- Only about 2% of viewers recognize the Salvation Run comics, making the finale’s setup obscure while signaling a DCU power shift and crossover potential with Superman.
