— Peacemaker on HBO Max (@DCpeacemaker) October 9, 2021
John Cena's interation of Peacemaker, originally seen in the film The Suicide Squad this past summer, is the first ever live action incarnation of the character, a soldier and super-hero who loves peace so much he is willing to kill for it. The character was originally created by Charlton Comics but acquired by DC in the mid-80s. In promotional material for the film, Cena has described this take on Peacemaker as a "douchey Captain America."
In September 2020, HBO Max ordered an eight-episode first season for the series as a spinoff for the Suicide Squad film with James Gunn, the writer and director of Squad and Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy returning to write and direct the series. The series will explore Peacemaker's story after the Suicide Squad film, debuting this January.
