HBO Max has revealed a sneak peek clip for James Gunn’s forthcoming The Suicide Squad spin-off series Peacemaker, starring John Cena as titular anti-hero. The series will be available for streaming this January 13.
The Peacemaker clip, which you can check out below, provides us with our first glimpse of Peacemaker’s first meeting with his new squad. Like the 2021 film, he has no other choice but to comply with the government’s Project Butterfly due to the bomb chip still in his head.
