What PEACEMAKER’s Huge Surprise Cameo Means for the DCU

Even though the new *Superman* movie was a hit in theaters, James Gunn quickly made it available for digital viewing. He hinted this was to allow fans to watch it before the second season of *Peacemaker* arrived. The reason is now clear: Gunn plans for *Peacemaker* to connect directly to the upcoming *Superman* sequel, *Man of Tomorrow*, and he’s cleverly linked all three stories together with a surprise appearance. Nicholas Hoult, playing Lex Luthor, showed up unexpectedly in the sixth episode of *Peacemaker*’s second season. The U.S. government enlisted his help, and now they’re working with a supervillain who craves public adoration.
