‘Peacemaker’ Cast Tease What’s Ahead After Cliffhanger Episode 5 Ending: “The Episodes Go So Hard In The Last Three”

If you thought that the first five episodes of Peacemaker Season 2 were wild, get ready, because the cast says things are only about to get weirder.

**Spoiler alert: this article contains details about Peacemaker Season 2 Episode 5**

At the end of the newest episode of James Gunn and John Cena‘s anti-hero HBO Max series, the titular character (Cena) is faced with a decision and opts to enter a different dimension, one where his brother Keith (David Denman) and dad (Robert Hammond Patrick Jr.) are still alive. He closes the portal behind him, however, leaving his friends to have to figure out some way to try and find him and bring him home.

Chatting with DECIDER about Season 2, the actors behind some of the fan-favorite characters on the show shared that while spoilers are strictly off limits, viewers should ready themselves for a wild ride that will leave their jaws on the floor.

“Oh, good luck. There’s literally nothing we can say, which is why they only showed you the first five. A lot of times they’ll show press like all the episodes, but 6, 7 or 8 are massive. There’s literally nothing we can — I mean, we can’t tell you that I die,” joked Steve Agee, who plays ARGUS agent John Economos. “The episodes go so hard in the last three. Yeah, I would be afraid to even say anything.”

Denman, who made his Peacemaker debut in the Season 2 opener, said that for him, the final three episodes are about the connection that his character has with his on-screen brother, and getting to watch Cena transform and show his more dramatic side.

“Well, I can’t speak to 6, 7, and 8. All I can tell you is it gets really good. It gets better and better and better,” he teased. “John is such a dream to work with. He’s such a gentleman, he’s such a pro, he’s very kind and giving. We had to do a lot of very intimate scenes where he had to get pretty emotional […] It was really amazing to watch John’s work in this because I don’t know that he’s been asked to do this type of stuff and roles that he’s played in the past.”

Sol Rodriguez, the Argentinian-born actress behind the role of Sasha Bordeaux, added that for her recently unveiled superhuman character, the final three episodes are “wild” and feel “like a movie.” She told DECIDER that there’s so much that happens in Episodes 6, 7, and 8 — which will release on the streaming service weekly through October 9 — but that she can’t share too many details about what is coming just quite yet.

While Episode 5, “Back to the Suture,” revealed that her character’s comic-book cyborg storyline is now canon to the DC Universe, fans will be surprised by the direction that Sasha’s arc goes in. Rodriguez also explained that it has major implications for the future of Peacemaker and DC projects, including potentially the next Superman film.

“I feel like one of the things for my character is that my loyalty is absolutely and definitely tested, and she will have to make some decisions and see where she lies and what aligns with her values within her career, her job, and her life,” she shared of what’s ahead for Sasha in the last three episodes of Season 2.

Fans will just have to tune in and see how Sasha Bordeaux and the rest of the crew figure out how to bring Peacemaker back from the alternate dimension, how things shake out, and — possibly most importantly — how it all sets up the DC Universe for Man of Tomorrow.
