James Gunn had long teased that there would be major cameos in the Peacemaker season 2 finale, but this one probably would have broken the internet.

As revealed to IGN and other assembled press during a recent virtual press conference, one of the locked doors in the Quantum Unfolding Chamber would have seen a certain fourth-wall-breaking Marvel character pop up for an unlikely crossover.

"Yeah, I wanted them to open the door and see Deadpool in a room," Gunn said. "I talked to Ryan Reynolds about it and we’d have had to go through some pretty, pretty big hoops to do that. He wanted to do it."

Gunn joked, "That’s all anybody’s going to talk about now is fucking Deadpool in the other room."

The MCU's Merc with a Mouth may not have appeared in the DC Studios project, but there was plenty else to discuss during the Peacemaker season 2 ending – including some surprising setup for Superman sequel Man of Tomorrow.
