![]() ![]() This all comes as Marvel Studios expands its own cinematic universe.įor how popular Cena has become over the past decade, it seemingly took a long time for him to get involved with superhero movies. Over the past couple of years, Cena has become nearly inseparable from Peacemaker, taking every opportunity possible to wear the costume in public and promote his upcoming projects within the DCEU. The wrestling-icon-turned-action star fully embraced the wild persona and character of Christopher Smith as he does whatever it takes to achieve peace, regardless of how many people he murders to do it. With the HBO Max series, Gunn reveals there’s a ‘70s TV-show vibe, an “All in the Family” element and even some politics, “which is really something that I scratched the surface of in ‘Suicide Squad’ but get to deal with a little bit more fully in the ‘Peacemaker’ show.John Cena is currently enjoying an impressive run in the world of superhero movies thanks to his role in DC's Peacemaker, which has manifested in his own solo series on HBO Max after his introduction in The Suicide Squad. ![]() And so I was like, what would a really messed-up version of that be today with the character of Peacemaker?" To me, that was the greatest thing in the world. “And for some reason, when I was a little kid, I loved that crappy 'Captain America' TV movie (from 1979). “I think about different stories that can be told with these characters,” Gunn says. The show wasn’t hatched until Gunn had finished his initial production work on “Squad,” and the post-credit scene was filmed while making “Peacemaker,” which co-stars Agee and Holland alongside Cena. That tease sets the stage for the new “Peacemaker” series, premiering in January with Gunn writing and directing. 'I failed big': 'The Suicide Squad' star John Cena makes the most of his 'second chance' in Hollywood “I heard he was sort of a hero down in Corto Maltese,” the doctor says, before asking them, “What do you guys want him for?” Harcourt’s response: “Just to save the (expletive) world, that’s all.” ![]() “You realize this is revenge, right? Waller knows we double-crossed her and she’s getting back at us by saddling us with this (jerk),” John Economos (Steve Agee) says to his colleague Emilia Harcourt (Jennifer Holland). And in the other – surprise! – Peacemaker is still alive as well, laid up in a hospital bed when two employees of Task Force X commander Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) reluctantly visit the comatose Squad member. That is, until the two end-credits scenes: In the first, Weasel somehow wakes up on the beach and runs off. The lone survivors to make it out alive were Bloodsport, Harley Quinn ( Margot Robbie), Ratcatcher 2 (Daniela Melchior) and King Shark (voiced by Sylvester Stallone). His appearance led to even more death: Peacemaker murdered group leader Rick Flag (Joel Kinnaman) when Flag refused to destroy the records of America’s deep involvement with the Starro experiment, Bloodsport (Idris Elba) shot Peacemaker and left him for dead in a crumbling building, and poor Polka-Dot Man (David Dastmalchian) got crushed by one of Starro’s immense arms. ![]() The members of Task Force X learned that the place was housing Starro the Conqueror, a mind-controlling giant starfish from outer space. 'The Suicide Squad': How James Gunn retooled and made this bunch his own The new “Squad” (currently in theaters and on HBO Max) opened with tragedy – poor Weasel (Sean Gunn) drowning after jumping out of a plane – and got immediately worse from there when pretty much half our heroes bit the dust hitting the beach of the fictional South American island of Corto Maltese, including returnee Captain Boomerang (Jai Courtney). That “Game of Thrones” Red Wedding episode has nothing on the bloodshed spattered all over “ The Suicide Squad,” with writer/director James Gunn killing off the vast majority of his supervillain lineup – including John Cena’s Peacemaker, the title character of an upcoming HBO Max spinoff show. Spoiler alert! The following post reveals plot points and the ending of “The Suicide Squad” so beware if you haven’t seen it yet. ![]()
