Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool could have been in Peacemaker Season 2
James Gunn, the creator and showrunner of Peacemaker, recently revealed that the show almost featured a surprising Marvel cameo. In a now-deleted Deadline interview, Gunn shared that he once planned to include Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool in a brief cameo in the Peacemaker Season 2 finale.
During the discussion, Gunn was asked if there were any other universes or ideas he had wanted to explore but couldn’t. He admitted that he had pitched the idea of the Peacemaker team opening a door to find Deadpool inside. He said, “Yeah, I wanted them to open the door and see Deadpool in a room.”
Speaking further about his enthusiasm for the Deadpool cameo, Gunn added, “I talked to Ryan Reynolds about it and we’d have had to go through some pretty, pretty big hoops to do that. He wanted to do it.” He also jokingly said, “That’s all anybody’s going to talk about now is f—— Deadpool in the other room.”
Gunn also addressed questions about Peacemaker’s future, revealing that a third season isn’t currently planned. However, he didn’t rule out another season entirely. He said, “That doesn’t mean that there won’t be. I don’t want to never say never, but right now, no, this is about the future of the DCU. It’s an important character.”
The Season 2 finale of Peacemaker, titled “Full Nelson,” aired on October 10, 2025, wrapping up the season’s multiverse storyline while hinting at upcoming plots. However, the episode received a mixed response from viewers.
