Peacemaker Season 2 Finale: James Gunn Teases Shocking Ending, Debunks Vigilante Theory

Brace Yourselves: James Gunn Hints at “Little Friends” Crashing the Peacemaker Season 2 Finale. When you thought the world of Peacemaker couldn’t get any weirder, James Gunn logs onto social media and decides to light a match. With the Season 2 finale looming, the architect of the new DCU has once again proven he’s the master of dropping just enough of a breadcrumb to send the entire fandom into a speculative frenzy.

Peacemaker Season 2 Finale Cryptic Post

This season has been a wild ride, hasn’t it? Although Superman made its presence on the big screen, Peacemaker Season 2 Finale has kicked things up a notch on the streaming side. It’s no surprise that the series boasts an impressive 96% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with critics praising it for its dark humor, intricate plotlines, and emotionally resonant character development.

One critic, David Craig, said on RadioTimes, “From the opening dance number, it’s an enormous amount of fun that carefully balances its surreal pleasures with impactful character-led moments – and plenty of unexpected twists.” We’ve seen Chris Smith grapple with his daddy issues from another dimension, watched him try (and mostly fail) to find some semblance of peace, and even got a drive-by cameo from Nicholas Hoult’s Lex Luthor.

Gunn shared with fans a behind-the-scenes photo of the alien “vermin” we saw earlier in the season. It appears that Gunn has confirmed we will see some Interdimensional Imps in the Peacemaker Season 2 Finale. Gunn said on his X Post, “The vermin are back tomorrow night on the #Peacemaker finale on @StreamonMax. But they’re not the only little friends we’re going to see.”

Gunn said to Den of Geek in July, “I would love to be able to figure out a way to Bat-Mite, or at least Peace-Mite, because I’m sure there’s an Imp somewhere in the Ninth Dimension who worships Peacemaker.” Also, the alternate version of Auggie Smith mentioned some Imps in the Season 2 premiere. But just as we’re bracing for a climactic showdown, Gunn throws a curveball that has comic book nerds like me digging through our longboxes. What in the multiverse could he possibly mean?

What Could Imps Mean for DCU’s Future?

The appearance of Interdimensional Imps isn’t just a quirky gag for the Peacemaker Season 2 Finale; it’s a potential game-changer for the entire DCU. These beings are notorious for their ability to warp reality, break the fourth wall, and generally make a mockery of the laws of physics.

Bringing them into the live-action fold, even in a small capacity, opens a Pandora’s box of storytelling possibilities. It’s a signal that Gunn isn’t afraid to get truly weird and embrace the most bizarre corners of DC lore. We already know the finale is set to tie directly into the upcoming Man of Tomorrow film. Could these “little friends” be the bridge? Will we see Peace-Mite’s antics inadvertently cause a problem so big that it requires Superman’s attention?

Or, in a more horrifying thought, what if it’s not Peace-Mite, but a far more sinister Imp like Mister Mxyzptlk who shows up to play? Suddenly, Peacemaker’s struggle to find his place in the world becomes the least of his problems. As Chris Smith continues his journey of self-discovery, or at least self-tolerance, the Peacemaker Season 2 Finale seems poised to force him to confront his past in the most literal way possible—by dealing with beings from another plane of existence.

Whatever happens, it’s clear that Gunn is using the Peacemaker Season 2 Finale to set the tone for his new universe: expect the unexpected, embrace the absurd, and never, ever underestimate the chaos that “little friends” can bring. So, grab your helmet and prepare for a finale that promises to be anything but peaceful.
