However, the Peacemaker TV present is carrying over into the DC Universe continuity as one other season is on its approach. Kinnaman beforehand appeared in 2016's Suicide Squad and 2021's The Suicide Squad, although his character was killed within the latter film.

I do not know what to say. That's ridiculous. I might by no means. I might by no means be on a present like that. It's not what I do. It's not what I do.
Since the Peacemaker season 2 director eliminated the tag, it is onerous to inform if he unintentionally spoiled that Kinnaman was again for the Max sequence or tagged him by mistake. It ought to be famous that Kinnaman hasn't been noticed on the Peacemaker season 2 set by photographs or movies, however that does not essentially rule out an look.

Superhero motion pictures and exhibits typically movie spoiler-y sequences in studios to stop leaks.

While particulars are below wraps, Gunn has teased that there's unfinished enterprise between Christopher Smith and Flag Sr. Since Rick's father is ready to conflict with Peacemaker within the new season, it is probably Grillo's character is searching for revenge after Cena's anti-hero killed Rick Flag Jr in The Suicide Squad.
It would not be surprising if Kinnaman is definitely again in some capability for Peacemaker season 2, however he merely cannot affirm it, particularly if the unintended leak was certainly a slip-up. The greater query, nevertheless, is whether or not Rick Flag Jr will solely be utilized in flashbacks or if Gunn's DC Universe will retcon his destiny in order that he is alive or resurrect him another approach. Hopefully, extra information on Peacemaker season 2 will emerge sooner fairly than later and make clear if Kinnaman is or is not again.
