A new fan theory has suggested that Rick Flag Jr.<\/strong> could return to the DCU through Peacemaker<\/strong> Season 2. Rick Flag Jr, played by Joel Kinnaman, last appeared in the DCEU movie The Suicide Squad in 2021. However, he was killed by John Cena\u2019s character, Peacemaker, in the film. With the new DCU now in motion, fans have been wondering whether the beloved character could return in the new universe.<\/p>\n Peacemaker Season 2 Episode 3, \u201cAnother Rick Up My Sleeve,\u201d saw the return of Joel Kinnaman\u2019s Rick Flag Jr., and a fan has theorized that the character could enter the DCU by crossing dimensions at the end of Season 2.<\/p>\n In the new episode, Peacemaker visits an alternate dimension and tries to pursue Emilia Harcourt there. However, as he enters A.R.G.U.S. in the alternate dimension, viewers get a surprise appearance from none other than Rick Flag Jr., who is alive in that dimension.<\/p>\n Seeing Flag Jr. in front of him freaks Peacemaker out, as he had brutally killed him in his own dimension. Additionally, it is revealed that Harcourt is seeing Flag Jr.<\/p>\n Commenting on this scene, a fan on X<\/a> (formerly Twitter) named Thee Winter Witch suggested that Flag Jr could enter the DCU by the end of Peacemaker. The user noted, \u201cIf Peacemaker doesn\u2019t end with a Rick Flag Jr. rejoining the main DCU I\u2019m gonna be so mad.\u201d However, whether Kinnaman will enter the main continuity of the new DCU or not has not been confirmed by James Gunn yet.<\/p>\n While talking to ScreenRant<\/a> in October 2024 about his possible return in Peacemaker Season 2, Kinnaman said, \u201cI don\u2019t know what to say. That\u2019s ridiculous. I would never. I would never be on a show like that. It\u2019s not what I do. It\u2019s not what I do.\u201d So it\u2019s possible that the character\u2019s future in the franchise is being kept under wraps.<\/p>\n Originally reported by Ishita Verma on SuperHeroHype<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n The post Peacemaker Fan Theory Teases How Rick Flag Could Return Permanently in DCU<\/a> appeared first on Mandatory<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A new fan theory has suggested that Rick Flag Jr. could return to the DCU through Peacemaker Season 2.
