How does the fate of John Cena’s character impact Superman, Lex Luthor, ‘Supergirl,’ ‘Lanterns,’ and more?
It began with Creature Commandos and got deeper with Superman, but it was the finale of Peacemaker where James Gunn really began to pull the curtain back on his plans for the DC Universe. Since the very beginning of this journey, Gunn has made it clear that he has a plan for a big, overarching story in the DC Universe. One that you don’t have to watch every single piece of content to understand, but that will connect.
And while there have been teases before, the ending of Peacemaker season two is the first and best time we’ve had an idea of where this is all going.
So at the end of Peacemaker season two, Peacemaker himself (John Cena) is relegated to Salvation, a dimension where the government has begun to place metahumans it does not want to deal with. And, speaking with Rolling Stone, Gunn confirmed that the idea of Salvation is at the root of not just Peacemaker’s future, but the DC Universe at large.
