Suicide Squad's John Cena says he's ready to fight Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. It will appear in a film from the DC Extended Universe. With The Suicide Squad, writer/director James Gunn, best known for Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy franchise, will introduce a new group of misfits to the DCEU on August 6th. Recruits to Task Force X are warmly welcomed by the Suicide Squad. Peacemaker, starring John Cena as the "douchey Captain America," is a sequel and thematic reboot of the 2016 film. The peacemaker doesn’t care how many “men, women, or children” he has to kill for the sake of peace, justice, and the American way, as seen by different advertising materials. Cena has been wearing his outfit everywhere. Gunn is directing a Peacemaker prequel/spinoff series, which will air on HBO Max in early 2022. Despite Gunn’s lack of knowledge of The Suicide Squad’s role within the DCEU, it appears like Warner Bros. is establishing Peacemaker as a part of the broader, though uneven DCEU.
