Peacemaker’s John Cena and James Gunn Talk About Character for New Series

The Suicide Squad hasn’t been released yet, but we know that John Cena will reprise his role as Peacemaker in a solo HBO Max show. So, what do we know about this character? James Gunn, who has directed five episodes of the show (and the film) says:

“Peacemaker has a clear set of ideals that I find really interesting. You know: ‘I want peace no matter how many men, women and children I need to kill to get it.’ Sounds like nonsense, but it also makes a lot of sense. And you see in John’s performance how he does not feel good about it – something I thought was the seed of an entire eight-episode show.”

Gunn continued:

“He represents a part of the world populace that is problematic to say the least and puts him in a situation where he has to face the choices he’s made throughout his life and the extremity of his views.”

What does Cena have to say about Peacemaker? Not such nice things:

“This guy is a loud, obnoxious, bro-ey douchebag. That sucks. But why? At what point did he become such a douchebag and what does that mean? There’s a lot to dive into there.”
