i don't know what exactly they are going to do with this character. In the old Charlton comics, he was a hero, not a villain. We'll just have to see how Cena does with the character in Suicide Squad 2...

James Gunn reveals Peacemaker,may be longer than one season: “The main storyline lasts for that season, so that doesn’t mean there’s only one season of Peacemaker

Gunn also revealed Peacemaker is "more grounded, more natural and more real" than The Suicide Squad, but that it still has a big science-fiction storyline


James Gunn on ‘The Suicide Squad,’ “Grounded” ‘Peacemaker’ and the Day Kevin Feige Came to Set
In a wide-ranging interview, the filmmaker also talks 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,' developing this version of Harley Quinn with Margot Robbie and straddling two universes.

I saw The Suicide Squad. I was not impressed. It was at best mediocre IMO, and to be honest, it doesn't feel like it has a reason to exist. Furthermore, it seems a lot of people share my sentiment, as evidenced by its performance in the theatres.

Given The Suicide Squad's terrible showing at the box office, I don't think this spinoff will do much to attract people to HBO Max. I might watch it, but only if it eventually makes it to Netflix so I can watch it for free.

PEACEMAKER explores the continuing story of the character that John Cena reprises in the aftermath of Gunn’s 2021 film “The Suicide Squad”– a compellingly vainglorious man who believes in peace at any cost, no matter how many people he has to kill to get it.

Maybe the real peace is the friends we made along the way. Director James Gunn, John Cena and Freddie Stroma talk about their experience together on set, and the relationship between Peacemaker and Vigilante, which is… complicated.

This show is as silly as Deadpool without the gory kills. A lot of laughs.

Had to look up Robert Patrick's character. Interesting. Looking forward to the rest of the series, even the stuff that Gunn did not direct...

I can't believe the show is not even in 4k on HBO Max. What a fricking joke they are...
