Gunn Is Cooking: Nicholas Hoult’s Lex Luthor Reportedly Set to Appear in ‘Peacemaker’ Season 2

One significant project that will transition from the DCEU to the newly established DCU is ‘Peacemaker‘. Season 2 of ‘Peacemaker’ was already confirmed to be in development when James Gunn clarified that the show would be canon to the DCU. He assured fans that the integration would be seamless and not confusing, making the transition from the DCEU to the DCU as smooth as possible for audiences.

Gunn has taken it a step further by connecting the upcoming second season of ‘Peacemaker’ with the highly anticipated animated series ‘Creature Commandos,’ which is set to be released this year.

‘Superman’ set leaks also showcased that Grillo’s Rick Flag Sr. will also appear in the upcoming movie, further cementing that connection. Now the most recent rumors claim that one important cast member of ‘Superman’ movie will appear in ‘Peacemaker’ Season 2, and that’s Nicholas Hoult’s Lex Luthor.

The rumor came from Grace Randolph, but her track record is not that great so take it with a grain of salt:

Not much is known about the overall plot of the second season except that it’s going to take place following the first season. The first season was also named canon when Gunn decided to have Rick Flag Sr. in the show and reference the murder of his son, which made things all the more confusing and technically made Cavill’s Superman also canon to the DCU.

Now we don’t know what Luthor’s role will be in the show if he appears at all, but if it does it’s certainly going to be connected to Flag’s appearance in ‘Superman,’ and the fact that he arrested Superman in one of the scenes, possibly leading to a collaboration between the two of them!
