John Cena’s Peacemaker was a special standout in The Suicide Squad, and James Gunn liked the character so much he developed a TV series on HBO Max which was actually well-received.
Now Peacemaker is set to get a second season, and Gunn has shared a first look at someone who could be Cena, but we can’t be entirely sure. Check this out:

The physique could very much be Cena, but he looks to be dressed in some kind of Native American garb—not unlike Captain America/Rojhaz in Neil Gaiman’s Marvel 1602. In that story, Steve Rogers travels back in time and poses as a Native American bodyguard; it’s only deep into the story before he admits that he was once Captain America from the future.

We don’t know what kind of journey Peacemaker/Chris Smith is going to go through with the second season, but seeing as he’s described as a ‘f*cked up’ Captain America, it wouldn’t be surprising that an out-of-touch character like him would put on some Native American garb and try to go on some kind of spirit quest.
With Gunn busy working on Superman, it’s kind of a wonder he was able to squeeze in time for Peacemaker. Either way, I imagine that the Man of Steel movie, while huge, is still an extremely limiting project for Gunn, and it’s properties like Peacemaker that allow him to be in his element of 80s glam rock, irreverent humor, and nasty body horror.
No release date has been set for Peacemaker Season 2.
