“John Cena will reprise his role from The Suicide Squad movie to star in the series, and the film’s acclaimed writer/director James Gunn will write all eight episodes of Peacemaker and will direct multiple episodes, including the first.
After it was recently announced that Gunn will be writing and directing a spinoff series from The Suicide Squad starring John Cena, a Marvel fan asked Gunn on Twitter if his new responsibilities will interfere with his work on Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, to which Gunn responded in the negative.
Gunn and The Suicide Squad producer Peter Safran will serve as executive producers of the series, with Cena as co-executive producer.”
The Suicide Squad spinoff is titled Oh f*ck, it’s Peacemaker! and stars Cena in the role of the titular anti-hero Peacemaker, who the wrestler-turned-actor once described as a “douchey Captain America”.
