The following article contains\u00a0spoilers<\/strong> for season 2 of\u00a0“Peacemaker.”\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n The internet loves to guess about the future of big franchise projects based on every rumor and behind-the-scenes photo, and that is especially true of the big superhero stories … and when it comes to superheroes, there’s nobody bigger than Superman. So, unsurprisingly, fans pretty much ran up the wall when David Corenswet, who played Clark Kent\/the titular last son of Krypton in James Gunn’s 2025 “Superman” film, shared a photo of himself in full Superman regalia on set with John Cena on season 2 of\u00a0Cena’s HBO Max series “Peacemaker.”<\/p>\n It didn’t help that Gunn had already taken to Instagram to\u00a0call season 2 of “Peacemaker” the prequel<\/a> to his “Superman” follow-up film, “Man of Tomorrow,” which really got the rumor mill and fan theories going. Plus, since critics had only been given the first five episodes of “Peacemaker” season 2<\/a> to review ahead of time, that meant there were going to be some huge surprises and maybe even a Superman cameo in the remaining three episodes.<\/p>\n While we never got that cameo from ole Supes (although we did get a fun, expletive-filled appearance from his enemy Lex Luthor<\/a>, played by Nicholas Hoult, while Peacemaker himself popped up on a TV in “Superman”), there’s always a chance for Superman and Peacemaker (Cena) to cross paths in the future. After all, both are still alive and a part of Gunn’s DC Universe, so they could absolutely share the screen at some point. As for the story behind that photo?\u00a0It turns out Corenswet was merely paying Cena a friendly visit on the “Peacemaker” set while taking a break from filming on the “Superman” set.<\/p>\n
