The season finale of The Peacemaker aired this week on HBO Max and included an unexpected visit from some of The Justice League’s heroes. After John Cena and the team battled “the cow” and halted, the butterflies, Superman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, and Aquaman arrived to assist.
While Jason Momoa and Ezra Miller did appear in the episode, Gal Gadot and Henry Cavill were replaced by body doubles. This week, fans were treated to a behind-the-scenes glimpse at Wonder Woman, and now Brad Abramenko, who portrays Superman, is showing out his bts shot.
Who played Superman’s body duplicate in the season one finale of Peacemaker?
Brad plans to make more cameos in the DC Extended Universe’s Man of Steel after his Season 1 finale debut. Abramenko created the #MySuperman hashtag on Instagram so his supporters could show their support. Along with a video of himself dressed as Superman, he wrote:
“Should I return for Peacemaker Season 2?”
Abramenko said he wasn’t trying to replace Henry Cavill as Superman but expressing his fans’ views. He hopes that Cavill will return to the role in the future. Brad Abramenko has previously appeared as a guest star on other DC series such as Batwoman and The Flash. Abramenko isn’t the first Superman impersonator in the DC Extended Universe. Ryan Handley donned Cavill’s outfit from the neck down in the 2019 film Shazam! to portray the Man of Steel.
In the season finale, all of the other bodies duplicate the Justice League heroes.
Even though Matt Turner was hired as Ben Affleck’s Batman body double, the Dark Knight and Cyborg (played by Ray Fisher) were cut from the final episode’s conclusion. The second body-double was Kimberley von Ilberg. In the finale, she portrayed the Princess of Themyscira. She just shared a bts selfie on Instagram, draped in Wonder Woman’s renowned armor.

The series creator, James Gunn, stated why these persons were kept out of the finale:
“You know, I’m not sure what I can say — there are reasons behind it, but I’m not sure I can articulate what they are. It might have anything to do with the future.”
The first eight episodes of Peacemaker’s Season 1 are now available on HBO Max. A second season of the program has also been ordered.
