John Cena and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson are already no strangers to one another and the fact that both actors are now part of the DC Extended Universe opens up a lot of possibilities for a potential "rematch" between two of wrestling's biggest superstars. Both Cena and Johnson are playing anti-heroes in the franchise and while their characters don't exactly share a common ground, there's still a good chance that Peacemaker and Black Adam will bump into each other.
Cena, who's currently having the run of his professional career is down with the idea of him and The Rock reigniting their feud in the DCEU. In a recent interview with ComicBook, the 16-time WWE champion said that he's ready to take on Johnson any given time but at the end of the day, DC will still call the shots.
Cena said: "You know me. Ready, willing, and able. And answering the phone whenever it rings. I'm good. I think that the excitement is starting to build with fans, whether you talk about the conversation of Fast, or you talk about now the DC Universe. I don't want to say we're on a crash course and it's inevitable. I want to, because I'm a fan. But we'll see. We'll see what happens. Tell me what he says."

Peacemaker going one-on-one with Black Adam doesn't make that much sense when you think about it but it's a shared universe after all so the chances are still there. I gotta say though, DC and Warner Bros. totally missed the boat by not casting Cena as Shazam several years back. No disrespect to Zachary Levi, I love his portrayal of the character but could you imagine Cena and The Rock clashing in the DCEU?
The Suicide Squad is scheduled for a limited theatrical release on August 5, 2021. It will also be available on the same day on HBO Max.
