Awesome Full Trailer for James Gunn's DC Series PEACEMAKER

HBO Max has dropped a full trailer for James Gunn’s DC series Peacemaker, which is a spinoff of The Suicide Squad, and it looks pretty freakin’ awesome! John Cena is back in the role of Peacemaker, and as you’ll see, he’s starts to grow a conscience after he’s asked to take a shot that would kill some kids with no explanation as to why. It’s good to know that Peacemaker will draw the line somewhere!

Now, even though Peacemaker is growing a conscience and having “feelings about things,” don’t worry, he’s still going around killing a lot of people! This series looks like it’s going to be filled with big explosive and bloody action and it also looks like it’s going to tell a solid story as it continues the story arc of Peacemaker. I like what I’m seeing!

Peacemaker is described as being an action-adventure comedy, and it will “explore the origins of Peacemaker, a man who believes in peace at any cost, no matter how many people he has to kill to get it.” The question is… is Peacemaker a redeemable character? Can Gunn actually pull that off? It looks like he’s going to try!

Check out the trailer:

In a previous interview, Gunn shared, "I loved the 1970s Captain America [TV movie] when I was a kid. I thought making a really f---ed-up version of that with Peacemaker would be fun." He then admits, "I did exactly the thing I hate when other filmmakers do [it]. But I did it! I'll have to live with the repercussions, which is the most incredible TV show people will ever see."

Gunn went on to share details on the story saying that the eight-episode series centers on "black ops combating something catastrophic that's facing the planet." It’s explained that Peacemaker, Harcourt, and Economos team up with three new characters.

The series also stars Steve Agee as Economos, Jennifer Holland as Harcourt, Chukwudi Iwuji as Murn, Danielle Brooks as Adebayo, and Freddie Stroma as Vigilante.

Gunn wrote the Peacemaker series, and he directed five episodes. Peacemaker premieres January 13, 2022, on HBO Max.
