Prior to the release of James Gunn's The Suicide Squad, a spin-off series has already been confirmed with John Cena's Peacemaker on HBO Max. Warner Bros. confirms that the show will be released in 2022 forming part of the streaming future of DC Extended Universe.
Warner Bros. only confirmed the year of the release without the specific date but such is already enough to put much hype on John Cena's show. The character will be making his debut on The Suicide Squad together with Harley Quinn, Bloodsport, Polka Dot Man, among others. The Peacemaker series would be featuring the character's origins and violent story making him the man he is.
Christopher Smith bears the moniker of the Peacemaker as he is a violent vigilante wanting to achieve peace no matter what the cost is. He is a DC antihero who has yet to make his name a staple one in the DCEU and with John Cena taking the role, it is expected that he would carry the character to success as Peacemaker is set to be the first-ever spin-off and television series for DCEU.
On multiple occasions, James Gunn, the director of The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker, teased John Cena for loving his character and costume too much that he wears it in unnecessary situations like getting his morning coffee, interviews unrelated to the film or the character, and even when napping.
John Cena will be sporting a tight red and blue top having a logo attached in the middle coupled with tan pants, holster, and his black boots as Peacemaker and he would be joined by Danielle Brooks, Robert Patrick, Steve Agee, Jennifer Holland, Chukwudi Iwuji, and Chris Conrad in the cast.
Peacemaker arrives on HBO Max in 2022.
