James Gunn Says Deadpool Cameo in Peacemaker Finale Was Blocked, Though Ryan Reynolds Was Game

Studio-crossing cameos face complex approvals, with no near-term crossover expected.

Overview

  • Gunn says he pitched using Peacemaker’s Quantum Unfolding Chamber to briefly reveal Deadpool in Season 2’s finale.
  • He spoke with Ryan Reynolds about the bit, with Reynolds willing to participate.
  • The plan stalled due to the significant studio and legal hurdles required for a Marvel character to appear in a DC series.
  • Gunn quipped that revealing the near-cameo would overshadow discussion of the show itself.
  • Fan chatter has surged, yet Gunn has described MCU–DCU crossover ideas as light and years away despite recent precedents cited in coverage.
