While there are plenty of upcoming DC movies, fans can’t forget that the superhero-based brand has a number of TV titles on the way as well, including the second season of Peacemaker. Season 2 began filming in April and, since then, James Gunn and co. have been sharing occasional behind-the-scenes nuggets from the set.
Now, it looks like one of those social media tidbits has revealed that a major character from The Suicide Squad is returning, and it’s Rick Flag, who was played by Joel Kinnaman . This may come as a surprise to some, but I think I know how Flag will return. This supposed casting has yet to be officially confirmed by James Gunn or any of the other bigwigs at DC Studios, as of this writing.
Joel Kinnaman’s casting was seemingly alluded to by Peter Sollett, who’s set to serve as a director on Season 2 of the aforementioned show. This weekend, he posted to his Instagram, sharing a photo of a clapboard. He also dropped in a message of gratitude, in which he shouted out producer James Gunn as well as actors like John Cena , Danielle Brooks and Kinnaman.

government’s involvement in unsanctioned experiments to the public. It was a tough moment and one that haunted Christopher throughout just about the entirety of the first season of his eponymous show. But, with Flag dead, you may be wondering how exactly he might be brought back for the series.
Well, the answer may be quite simple. A premiere date has yet to be announced for Peacemaker Season 2, but it’ll consist of eight episodes and be available to Max subscription holders. For now, you can stream the first season on the platform as well as The Suicide Squad.
