If you saw the latest episode of HBO MAX Original and DC Studios series Peacemaker, the question of each Superman Fans mind has been answered by James Gunn. Finally, we know who will show up to help Rick Flag Sr. And Argus Course-Correct Peacemaker’s entire portal door to the ground X (Nazi America) Trials leading into the show’s final.
But if you haven’t seen a spoiler warning is ahead!
When it came to who to get help from finding the 11th Street children and where they took the portal, Argus director Rick Flag Sr. Sr to the most powerful villain they have in their pocket (prison cell). And of course it is Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) who has a great price to use his technique to track peace makers and friends.
In an interview with Variety, director and DC leader James Gunn discussed the como, which many thought would be David Corenswet as Superman, and why it is not (despite a particular Peacemaker X Supes Selfie). Gunn even went so far as to squeeze our hope of watching a land x or earth-1 man of steel and said to the trade, “no,” to the opportunity: “In fact, David was very upset that Nick was going to be on the show and he didn’t. It just didn’t work.”
So no Nazi Superman, which in a way is a relief because we do not want to stain the feel-good way Corenswet opened his era as the hero.
Gunn continued to explain why he needed Hoult back: “I needed Lex in the show to serve a specific purpose. And in fact what Lex and Rick Flag have affect a lot what’s happening in an aspect of MARTRA man. So all this is connected. But this relationship between Rick Flag and Lex Luthor is a potentially negative thing for Superman and all Meta people. “
He also discussed that it has all been in line with his plans for DC Studios as part of his universe reset pitch from Get-Go. “I didn’t know any things about it, but I knew what the overall story of DCU was. It was something I was beating up to [Warner Bros. Discovery CEO] David Zaslav before we even took the job. I’m like, here’s the story. There will be this movie, this show, this movie, this show and these things all fit in in different ways. Some things came as ClayfaceThat we did not expect and other things have been a harder way to travel. But the general overview of the overall story is what we follow through Superman, Peacemaker, The man of the morning, And beyond. “
