The internet went wild! When a photo surfaced of John Cena's Peacemaker with David Corenswet, the new Superman, on the set of Peacemaker season 2, fans immediately began speculating about a crossover. But what's the real story behind this snapshot? Let's dive in.
This article contains spoilers for season 2 of "Peacemaker."
Superhero fans are masters of speculation, especially when it comes to the future of massive franchises. And when Superman is involved, the rumor mill goes into overdrive. So, when David Corenswet, the actor portraying Clark Kent in James Gunn's 2025 Superman film, shared a photo with John Cena on the Peacemaker set, the internet exploded.
Adding fuel to the fire, James Gunn himself hinted that Peacemaker season 2 serves as a prequel to his Superman movie. This naturally led to fan theories about a potential Superman cameo in the remaining episodes, especially since critics had only seen the first five episodes beforehand.
While a Superman cameo didn't materialize (though we did get a fun appearance from Lex Luthor, played by Nicholas Hoult), the possibility of a future crossover between Superman and Peacemaker remains open. Both characters are part of Gunn's DC Universe, so a meeting on screen is certainly possible.
But what about the photo? According to John Cena, Corenswet simply visited the Peacemaker set to say hello.
In an interview with GQ, Cena clarified the situation. He explained that he wanted to meet Corenswet, the new Superman, and offer any advice he could. Both Superman and Peacemaker season 2 were filmed at Trilith Studios in Atlanta, making it easy for Corenswet to visit Cena.
But here's where it gets controversial... While a future team-up is possible, Cena insists he knows nothing about it and wouldn't reveal any secrets, because he loves a good surprise. If you want to know more about the future of Peacemaker and Superman, he suggests asking DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn.
So, what do you think? Are you hoping for a Superman and Peacemaker team-up? Or do you prefer the mystery? Let me know in the comments! Peacemaker is currently streaming on HBO Max.
