PEACEMAKER Faces-Off With [SPOILER] In Teaser For Season 2, Episode 5: "Back To The Suture"

HBO Max has released a teaser promo for next week's episode of Peacemaker, and it sees Chris Smith come face-to-face with a man who has every reason to want him dead...

Following last night's episode of Peacemaker, "Need I Say Door," HBO Max has released a preview of next week's fifth instalment, which is titled "Back To The Suture."

Spoilers follow.

It looks like there's quite a bit going on in this episode, which will likely serve as something of a calm before the storm ahead of the really crazy stuff that James Gunn has teased in the final stretch. As Red St. Wild closes in on Eagly, Chris is going to find himself coming face-to-face with a man who has every reason to want him dead, Rick Flag Sr.

We're not sure Flag would attempt to straight-up execute Smith in A.R.G.U.S. HQ, but actor Frank Grillo has already confirmed that the two will throw down at some point during the season (that confrontation may be saved for the finale, however).

Is there any chance Peacemaker will be able to calm Flag down by informing him that his son (well, a version of his son) is still alive in an alternate universe? It might buy him some time at the very least.

Check out the teaser below, along with some new promo stills from last night's episode.

Critics were only provided with the first five episodes for review purposes, and Gunn recently explained why.

"I am the one who's keeping the three episodes away from everybody because there are too many surprises in those last three episodes," he revealed. "Especially 6 and 8, they are just crazy, my favourite things I've ever done of anything." 

Will David Corenswet's Superman make a cameo? That's the prevailing theory, but there's a chance Gunn will take the opportunity to reintroduce some characters from The Suicide Squad.

"The new season follows Christopher 'Chris' Smith, aka Peacemaker, the vigilante Super Hero as he struggles to reconcile his past with his newfound sense of purpose while continuing to kick righteous evil-doer butt in his misguided quest for peace at any cost.

In season 2, Peacemaker discovers an alternate world where life is everything he wishes it could be. But this discovery also forces him to face his traumatic past and take the future into his own hands.”

Newest episode was the weakest IMO but I’m still enjoying season two a lot. I’m hoping we see more of Vigilante being a psycho though..

@TheLobster - vigilante is defiantly my favorite character

@NonPlayerC - he’s a little annoying sometimes with his forced Gunn humor but I do like him as a character! I feel like he’s getting sidelined this season so let’s hope he has more to do soon!

I'll say it a million times, I don't care. I want G.I. Robot to take out his favorite foe in this show so bad

@SATW42 - G.I. Robot was awesome! If he doesn't make an appearance, then I'm past ready for this show to go away.

This and 'ALIEN:EARTH' are the best things on TV right now.

Peacemaker is already losing its audience and has fallen to second on HBO. People are tired of the Gunn-ismms. This show should not have been greenlit for a second season and the only reason it was is because it is being made by the figure head of the studio.

I wasn't crazy about the episode, but Judo Master is always a highlight for me.

Is Task coming off and linked to a film that earned $600 million at the box office? Is it linked to a future film due to be released in 2027? Does task have a built in fan base?

Not big on the new one. A few funny moments.

Task is off to a good start though. I loved Mare of Easttown.

I enjoy this laidback yet badass diminutive version of Judomaster in the show and am interested to see where he goes in the show and potentially this universe (I could maybe even see him join the 11th Street Kids even though he’s against Chris right now due to him taking down the Butterflies whose cause he believed in).

Also I’m sure Chris will find out Harcourt betrayed him and that will be the last straw that has him decide to abandon his universe and go to the alt reality for good.

Anyway , I have been liking the season and looking forward to seeing how the final 4 episodes go!!.

What an unfortunate timing for the trailer but it's not like they can control the crazy stuff that happens in real life. It took me a while to get used to this show but now I'm enjoying it. Maybe because there's nothing else at moment, Foundation season 3 just ended 😢

That scene of him up on the building with a rifle, I’ll be surprised this scene airs, in light of the circumstances recently. It might make some people angry or upset them. They should have a disclaimer or something.
