Peacemaker Season 2 just ended its eight-episode run on HBO Max with a major turning point in the life of John Cena’s aspiring do-gooder Christopher Smith. Creator James Gunn teased that the finale would lay the groundwork for 2027’s Man of Tomorrow movie. And Gunn seems to have made good on that promise, with the finale strongly hinting at which character will serve as the common enemy uniting Nicholas Hoult’s Lex Luthor and David Corenswet’s Superman. So why are we so unhappy with the big reveal?
Let’s break down why Peacemaker Season 2’s finale doesn’t quite gel with the rest of the DCU. We’ll also explore the other big revelations in this episode, like the debut of Checkmate and the planet Salvation. Here’s everything you need to know about the ending of Peacemaker Season 2.
Peacemaker is created by James Gunn and stars John Cena, Danielle Brooks, Freddie Stroma, Jennifer Holland, Steve Agee, Frank Grillo, and Robert Patrick. The entire second season is now available to stream on HBO Max.
