Ever since the first Marvel movie, Marvel Studios made a point of including Stan Lee, a key figure in the creation of Marvel comics, in a cameo appearance in each film. Even after his death, they continued to find ways to include him. The new DC Universe, however, didn’t seem to have anyone receiving similar consistent tributes—until a surprising cameo in the finale of *Peacemaker* Season 2, which could change that.
Fans recently made a surprising discovery in the final episode of *Peacemaker* season two—and possibly the series. While the camera focused on John Cena’s Christopher Smith and Jennifer Holland’s Emilia Harcourt during Foxxy Shazam’s performance of the theme song, sharp-eyed viewers noticed a recognizable figure with a white beard, spiky hair, and black glasses hiding in the background.
James Gunn’s Cameo in Peacemaker Season 2 Finale Found
Fans recently spotted director James Gunn making a quick, blink-and-you’ll-miss-it appearance in the Peacemaker finale, and they’re having fun with it! Some joked that Gunn approved the shot, then jumped into the scene to enjoy the concert himself. Others believe it was the cameo he’d been hinting at for weeks. There’s also been playful ribbing about Gunn seemingly watching John Cena and his wife, though the blurry image has led some to question if it’s even him. One fan even joked it could be Wolf Blitzer!

James Gunn revealed on the *Peacemaker* podcast that he makes a cameo in one of the episodes. He was visible among the crew and even alongside the band Nelson, who had appeared previously. According to Gunn, the appearance wasn’t planned at all – it happened spontaneously while they were filming Foxxy Shazam’s performance. He emphasized that it wasn’t the result of any meetings or discussions about a fun cameo; it was a spur-of-the-moment decision.
Fans loved James Gunn’s surprise cameo because it was completely unexpected. Unlike Stan Lee’s appearances in Marvel films, where fans actively looked for him and anticipated his role, Gunn’s appearance came as a genuine surprise when the episode was released. While Stan Lee was alive, his cameos were always a topic of speculation and admiration, but Gunn’s was a fun, hidden treat that viewers stumbled upon.
The DC Universe (DCU) doesn’t currently have the same kind of director cameos seen in other franchises. While *Superman* includes a brief appearance by Christopher Reeve’s son, Will, it doesn’t feature major cameos from figures who will have a significant impact on the overall DCU story. The surprise appearances of Peacemaker and Supergirl in *Superman* aren’t just fun moments – they’re designed to broaden the DCU and hint at future storylines. Right now, audiences aren’t expecting to find James Gunn hiding in every project, so when those kinds of cameos *do* happen, they’ll feel more exciting and unexpected.
