Peacemaker Season 2’s Secret Final Episodes Could Change the DCU Forever

Peacemaker season 2 is heading into its home stretch, and James Gunn is putting the lid on tighter than a shipping crate. The final three episodes are coming soon, and if you believe the people involved, they are not just big for the show — they matter for the wider DCU.

Jennifer Holland, who plays Emilia Harcourt, doubled down on that in an interview with Phase Hero. Her tease is short, sharp, and very on-brand for this show:

'A lot happens. A lot is revealed. A lot of consequences.'

Gunn, meanwhile, is taking an unusually secretive approach — even by superhero TV standards. He’s not sending those last episodes to critics at all, specifically to keep spoilers from leaking. In a past chat with Brandon Davis, he put it like this:

'It could mean they’re terrible. That is one option. Or it could mean that there’s a lot of major twists and turns in the last three episodes… I really don’t want what’s in those last three episodes to be spoiled. And so I’m keeping them close to the chest. I won’t even let my publicist see them. That’s the god’s honest truth'

Also worth flagging: he says episode 6 and the finale are personal high points.

'I will also say, [episodes] six and eight may be my favorite things I’ve done, like, of all time. It’s like some of my favorite stuff ever.'

Here’s the other eyebrow-raiser: Gunn has called Peacemaker season 2 a prequel to Man of Tomorrow, the follow-up to Superman in the new DCU. That little nugget has obviously cranked up speculation that the Man of Steel could show up before the credits roll — nothing confirmed, but the breadcrumbs are there.

And for anyone wondering if Peacemaker is done after this? Gunn, who is juggling all of this as co-CEO of DC Studios, answered a fan on Threads asking if he had 'immediate plans' for the character post-season 2. He kept specifics to himself, but the tone was optimistic.

• No critic screeners for the last three eps — Gunn is actively preventing leaks, even from his own publicist
• Holland teases big reveals and fallout in the concluding run
• Gunn says episodes 6 and 8 are among his favorite things he has ever made
• Season 2 is positioned as a prequel to Man of Tomorrow, which fuels the Superman cameo theories
• Post-season 2, Gunn hints there are more Peacemaker plans without spelling them out

Short version: buckle up. If Gunn’s keeping this close and calling out his own episodes like that, the last stretch isn’t just noise — it’s the kind of stuff that shifts the larger DCU chessboard.
