James Gunn opens up on Peacemaker Season 2 cameo
James Gunn confirmed that he appears in the background of the Peacemaker Season 2 finale boat scene. Fans spotted the DC Studios co-CEO during a concert sequence featuring Foxy Shazam, with Gunn standing beside crew members. The discovery went viral after a user on X (formerly Twitter) highlighted his appearance, posting screenshots that quickly gained over one million views.
On Threads, Gunn reacted by saying, “Haha I swear I never knew I was so clearly in there. I’m standing next to Nelson and our PAs! One of the most joyous moments of my life.” He thanked viewers for watching the season and added, “Thank you all for joining me tonight and this whole season. It’s been an honor. Peace out!”
During Peacemaker: The Official Podcast Gunn confirmed the cameo, noting that the scene included several crew members and the band Nelson. “I just said, ‘Come on guys, let’s all come out.’ The whole crew came out there, a lot of our PAs went out there. We were all just dancing around,” he said. He added that fans might “freeze frame and find us back there.”
Season 2 also featured Nicholas Hoult’s Lex Luthor, marking his first on-screen appearance before Superman: Man of Tomorrow. In the HBO Max series, Luthor formed an uneasy alliance with Rick Flag Sr., which ultimately left John Cena’s Peacemaker trapped in the alternate dimension of Salvation, a prison for Earth’s metahumans.
Peacemaker Season 2 is available to stream on HBO Max, with Gunn now preparing for Superman: Man of Tomorrow, set to expand the first chapter of the new DC Universe.
