This post contains<\/em> spoilers<\/em><\/strong> for the “Peacemaker” season 2 finale.<\/em><\/p>\n The season 2 finale of “Peacemaker” opened a lot of doors, one of which led to a location that could have major implications for the future of the DC Universe<\/a>. However, showrunner and DC Studios co-head James Gunn ultimately decided against having the\u00a011th Street Kids\u00a0(or, should we say, Checkmate)<\/a> potentially coming face to face with the mouthiest hero in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In an interview with Deadline<\/a>, Gunn confessed that he’d considered crossing the streams of Marvel and DC’s cinematic universes by having none other than Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool show up in “Peacemaker” season 2. In fact, he and Reynolds even had actual honest-to-goodness conversations about making it happen.<\/p>\n According to Gunn:<\/p>\n “Yeah, I wanted them to open the door and see Deadpool in a room. I talked to Ryan Reynolds about it, and we’d have had to go through some pretty, pretty big hoops to do that. He wanted to do it. That’s all anybody’s going to talk about now is f*****g Deadpool in the other room.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n Truthfully, if one were to open a door-shaped can of worms like that, you can guarantee comic book fans would have a mild panic attack. Really, there’s something quite fitting about the idea of John Cena’s Peacemaker and Reynolds’ Wade Wilson \u2014 two of the sweariest superheroes of the screen \u2014 meeting up. But while that didn’t happen this time around, does the fact that a live-action Marvel\/DC crossover was even seriously discussed bring the possibility of one that much closer to a reality?<\/p>\n\n
