James Gunn and ‘Peacemaker’ Team Pull Back Curtain on ‘The Suicide Squad’ Spinoff

The John Cena-starring series debuts in January on HBO Max: "Peacemaker has a lot to learn."

A trailer screened for press included Christopher “Peacemaker” Smith (John Cena) in the hospital following the events of The Suicide Squad. He explains to the orderly he’s supposed to be in jail for “superhero shit,” and says he’s Peacemaker. The orderly laughs, insisting there’s no superhero named Peacemaker. There were also glimpses of Robert Patrick as Peacemaker’s disapproving father (it involves a bald eagle) and also some of the onscreen chemistry between Peacemaker and his handlers, including Jennifer Holland’s Squad character, Emilia Harcourt. “Just because your handsome doesn’t mean you’re not a piece of shit,” Harcourt tells Peacemaker at one point. His response? “You think I’m handsome?”

Man after apologizing for calling Taiwan a country, I’m not watching a John Cena tv show. Fuck him.

I'll be watching if I can considering there's no HBO Max in the UK.

I most likely won't watch it, if it's HBO it goes to a shitty streaming service called Binge in Australia. I ain't giving them a cent.
I can't say that I was that amazed by Peacemaker in the film and am actually surprised he is getting a series.

Sky Atlantic are usually pretty good when it comes to HBO content.

This show is crazily funny and entertaining. I am so glad they got Gunn to write and direct multiple episodes. I think DC/WB is finding out that their lesser known properties lend themselves well to black comedy, so they don't always have to go grimdark with everything. Gunn with this and The Suicide Squad, along with Doom Patrol.

Is there an OT for this show yet?

I watched the first 3 episodes and thought it was entertaining.
