JOHN CENA'S 'PEACEMAKER' TO DEBUT IN UK ON SKY MAX LATER THIS MONTH

John Cena's excellent DC series Peacemaker will debut in Great Britain on Sky Max and streaming service Now TV starting 3/22.

The first season starred Cena with James Gunn, the writer and director of DC's The Suicide Squad and Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy returning to write and direct the series.  The series explores Peacemaker's background and what happens to him after the Suicide Squad film.

Cena described this take on Peacemaker as a "douchey Captain America."  Cena's portrayal of Peacemaker was the first ever live action incarnation of the character, a soldier and super-hero who loves peace so much he is willing to kill anyone, including innocents, for it.   The character was originally created by the now-defunct Charlton Comics but acquired by DC in the mid-80s, mostly as a gift for the legendary Dick Giordano, who had worked on the characters before his incredible run for DC.  The character was the inspiration for Watchmen's The Comedian as well.

The series, a massive hit, has already been picked up for a second season.
