"Although the biggest revelation in Episode 6 revealed the worst possible truth about the show's alternate dimension, back in the real world, one very big cameo took the DCU into an entirely new direction. How Peacemaker Season 2 will resolve its multiverse conflicts remains unclear. But the set-up for the next Superman movie might suddenly be very clear. Here's how the surprise appearance of the biggest villain in the DC universe seems to create a perfect setup for the 2027 movie Man of Tomorrow."
"Rick Flag (Frank Grillo) goes to Belle Reve prison and talks face-to-face with Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult). This is just a few months after the events of Superman, meaning Lex is in prison for his various crimes in that movie, including ripping an interdimensional hole in the city of Metropolis. But the wrinkle here is that Flag thinks Luthor is the only person with the scientific know-how to track down this specific kind of tech."
Peacemaker Season 2 Episode 6 includes a high-profile Lex Luthor cameo that ties directly to events in the Superman film. Rick Flag visits Belle Reve and negotiates with Luthor because Flag believes Luthor uniquely understands Quantum Unfolding Chamber–type technology. The cameo positions Luthor as an active player in the present DCU timeline shortly after his imprisonment in Superman. The encounter implies short-term complications for the Peacemaker team and long-term narrative stakes for the 2027 Man of Tomorrow movie. Fan speculation suggests Luthor and Superman could team up against threats such as Brainiac.
