Threads<\/a>, Gunn was asked if Super could ever become canon to the DCU in some way. Gunn answered, \u201cI\u2019m not in charge of that. Someone else owns Crimson Bolt. But I don\u2019t think it\u2019s something I\u2019d do anyway other than an Easter Egg.\u201d<\/p>\nA description of Super reads, \u201cWhen sad-sack loser Frank (Rainn Wilson, The Office), a short-order cook, sees his ex-addict wife (Liv Tyler, The Lord of the Rings) willingly snatched away by a seductive drug dealer (Kevin Bacon), he finds himself bereft and unable to cope. But he decides to fight back under the guise of a do-it-yourself superhero called Crimson Bolt. With a red hand-made suit, a wrench, a crazed sidekick named Boltie (Elliot Page, June), and absolutely nothing in the way of superpowers, Crimson Bolt beats his way through the mean streets of crime in hopes of saving his wife.\u201d<\/p>\n
Peacemaker Season 2\u2019s finale will be released on HBO Max on October 9, 2025. The DCU then continues in 2026 with Craig Gillespie\u2019s Supergirl starring Milly Alcock, James Watkins\u2019 Clayface starring Tom Rhys Harries, and the Lanterns television show starring Kyle Chandler and Aaron Pierre.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
