Suicide Squad star dismisses rumours of appearing in Peacemaker series
Popular actor Joel Kinnaman, known for his roles in Altered Carbon and For All Mankind, has responded in a quirky manner to speculation about his involvement in the DC series Peacemaker. Kinnaman, who portrayed Rick Flag Jr in James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad, addressed the buzz surrounding the character possibly making a return in the Peacemaker spin-off starring John Cena.
Although Flag Jr met his demise in the movie, fans have been speculating about his reappearance in the upcoming series. The rumours gained traction when Peacemaker director Peter Sollett tagged Kinnaman in a now-deleted post marking the conclusion of filming. This sparked anticipation among followers of the franchise.
When asked directly about his potential role in the second season of Peacemaker, set for release in 2025, Kinnaman playfully dismissed the idea, stating that he “would never be on a show like that.” His response has left fans intrigued, with many speculating that it could be a deliberate misdirection to keep surprises under wraps.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding his participation in Peacemaker, Kinnaman is confirmed to return for the fourth season of For All Mankind. The actor’s character, Ed Baldwin, faces an uncertain future due to the significant time leap between seasons. Co-creator Ben Nedivi hinted that while Baldwin will feature in the upcoming season, it could potentially mark the character’s final arc.
As fans eagerly await further updates on Kinnaman’s upcoming projects, including his potential return to the DC universe, the actor’s enigmatic response has only added to the anticipation surrounding his future on-screen endeavours.
