"Peacemaker Season 2 shocked fans so many times in one episode that it was hard to focus on any single revelation. Sure, there was that big finale moment that confirmed the show's most prominent fan theory was correct, but there was also a cameo from Nicholas Hoult's Lex Luthor. His appearance was brief, just long enough to complain about his metahuman inmates at Belle Reve and to make a cautious deal with A.R.G.U.S."
"DC Studios When asked by if Luthor's cameo in Peacemaker was just a tease of David Corenswet playing Superman (or an alternate version of Superman) in the final two episodes of Season 2, Gunn had a simple response. "No," he said. "In fact, David was very upset that Nick got to be on the show, and he didn't. It just didn't work." "
"Still, it should be noted that Gunn wasn't speaking under oath, and that anything can happen in the final two episodes. At the very least, we should see more of Lex Luthor's shady dealings with Rick Flag, Sr. "What Lex and Rick Flag are up to affects very much what happens in an aspect of Man of Tomorrow,"Gunn said. "So all of that is connected. But this relationship between Rick Flag and Lex Luthor is a potentially negative thing for Superman and all meta-humans.""
Peacemaker Season 2 Episode 6 features a brief cameo from Nicholas Hoult's Lex Luthor, who complains about metahuman inmates at Belle Reve and strikes a cautious deal with A.R.G.U.S. The episode incorporated elements of James Gunn's DCU Superman film, but Luthor is the only confirmed character crossover. David Corenswet's on-set Superman suit photos fueled expectations of a Superman cameo, but Gunn stated that Corenswet did not appear and was upset that Hoult did. Gunn also warned that the Lex Luthor–Rick Flag, Sr. relationship ties into Man of Tomorrow and could pose a negative threat to Superman and all metahumans.
