Two Superman Movie Actors Spotted Filming DCU’s Next TV Series

BBG News

Based on a recent insider preview, it has been confirmed that two significant characters from the world of Superman will be featured in the upcoming DCU TV series. Following the initial introduction of Superman on the big screen, the storyline is now set to unfold further on small screens with the second season of ‘Peacemaker’, where John Cena reprises his role as Christopher Smith.

The forthcoming HBO Max series is set to delve into the aftermath of the Superman storyline, incorporating Maxwell Lord’s Justice League and featuring a significant cameo from an actor who might possibly be a key figure in the upcoming David Corenswet-led DC Studios film. Prior to the series’ debut in August, additional Superman characters are set to feature in Peacemaker Season 2, potentially influencing the overarching narrative of the DC Universe.

DC Studios recently shared a sneak peek behind the scenes of upcoming season 2 for the show “Peacemaker”. The clip included glimpses of actors Terence Rosemore and Stephen Blackehart, who previously portrayed Lex Luthor’s henchmen Otis and Sydney in the “Superman” series on HBO Max.

In the comic book series Superman, Otis is one of Lex Luthor’s closest confidants and chief henchmen. He rarely hesitates to carry out Luthor’s malicious directives. Otis played a crucial part in releasing the kaiju, serving as a tool for destruction while Luthor, The Engineer, and Ultraman launched an attack on the Fortress of Solitude.

In the meantime, Sydney serves as both a scientist and a faithful accomplice to Lex Luthor. Towards the end, there were signs of his possible redemption when he attempted to persuade the DC villain to shut down the rift between dimensions before it becomes irreversible.

In the conclusion of Superman, both characters wind up in police custody following the Daily Planet, under the leadership of Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen, revealing Lex’s malicious activities to the general populace.

It seems likely that since Otis and Sydney frequently appear with Frank Grillo’s character Rick Flag Sr., there could have been an arrangement where they agreed to work for the government. Their skills in dealing with metahumans, combined with their access to some of Lex Luthor’s hidden information, make them valuable assets.

As a die-hard movie enthusiast, I can’t help but speculate about the potential appearances of two iconic Superman characters in Season 2 of Peacemaker. Given the intriguing involvement of these characters, it’s not far-fetched to imagine Nicholas Hoult’s Lex Luthor or even David Corenswet’s Superman as the “major surprise” that director James Gunn hinted at in his past interviews.

In a hint at what’s to come in Peacemaker Season 2, the trailer suggests delving into the Multiverse, as it concludes with not one but two Peacemakers. This could potentially reveal how the character gets incorporated into the DC Universe following Season 1. The show will welcome back many of its primary characters, including John Cena, Jennifer Holland, Freddie Stroma, Danielle Brooks, and Steve Agee. Mark your calendars for August 21, 2025, when Peacemaker Season 2 makes its debut on HBO Max.

Will Lex Luthor Appear in Peacemaker Season 2? (Theory)

It seems quite likely that Lex Luthor will show up in season 2 of Peacemaker given the confirmed appearances of Otis and Sydney. This potential appearance is supported by the storyline developments from the series, Superman.

It’s indisputable that Lex possesses a deep understanding of metahumans, and his exceptional intelligence might significantly contribute to the multidimensional narrative that the series “Peacemaker” is attempting to unfold, given he was eventually sent to Belle Reeve prison.

Since Rick Flag Sr., who holds a prominent government position (as seen in Superman where he ranks as a general), has connections, he could potentially arrange a private discussion with Lex to gauge his opinions about the pocket dimension that Christopher Smith apparently entered, as suggested by trailer footage. It’s noteworthy that Lex Luthor himself is known for creating his own pocket universe, which lends credibility to this theory.

It’s anticipated that Lex Luthor might make a cameo, which could reinforce the links among DC Universe (DCU) productions and demonstrate that James Gunn, co-CEO of DC Studios, isn’t shy about incorporating significant film characters into television shows.

The imprisonment of Lex Luthor within Belle Reeve might result in an animated portrayal of his character, given that Season 2 of Creature Commandos has been confirmed (for more details on its upcoming release, check out this update).
