Peacemaker Season 2 is already over halfway complete, but the best has yet to be released. As teased by James Gunn since before the show’s premiere, the final three episodes of the long-awaited season contain some of his favorite work yet. In fact, the episodes were kept away from the press in an effort to avoid spoilers from leaking. As fans speculate major cameos are on the way, one of the show’s stars confirmed that Peacemaker Season 2 will impact the DCU in a major way.

While on the Phase Hero podcast, Peacemaker star Jennifer Holland confirmed that “a lot is revealed” in the next three episodes of Season 2 that will have consequences for the DCU moving forward. It’s unclear what exactly could be significant enough to permeate through the cinematic universe, but it’s safe to say that the rest of the HBO Max series will be a must-watch for DCU fans. The latest episode ended with Christopher Smith (John Cena) moving to the alternate universe, abandoning his found family in the main timeline. It seems that whatever is revealed about the new dimension could be the culprit, but the possibilities are still wide open with Holland’s cryptic tease.

“A lot happens, a lot is revealed. It has a lot of consequences for the future of the DC Universe… The next three episodes are pretty wild.”

Ever since the first episode, fans have been speculating about the sinister nature of the universe Peacemaker now finds himself in. Subtle hints throughout the series thus far point towards an alternate reality, normally referred to as Earth X, in which the Nazis won World War II. It’s probably not a coincidence that eagle-eyed fans spotted an ashtray that appeared to be in the shape of a swastika in the lavish home of the Smith family. Until the remaining three episodes reveal the truth, this will simply remain speculation. But the pieces are out there, it’s just a matter of time until Peacemaker puts them together for the audience.
