Per Variety (sorry didn't save link) his Peacemaker character is going to be in a spinoff series on HBOMax.
So that's interesting.

...geez, Peacemaker is a random character to be getting his own series, unless it's some sort of way to make a stealth Comedian series or a Punisher-but-DC-made-it series.
(For non-comics fans: the Comedian from Watchmen was a serial-numbers-filed-off version of Peacemaker, and that is literally the only notable thing about Peacemaker ever except for like...one good story where he was a supporting character to Blue Beetle.)
Guess that's what happens when someone as potentially bankable as Cena gets cast as a total no-name of a property?

It sounds like one of those situations where the movie markers realized they loved the character and how the actor was bringing him to life and convinced the head honchos there should be more. A lot of Gunn's hype around the movie had included how Cena / Peacemaker turned out so I'm guessing Gunn used what clout he could to continue at least Peacemaker's story beyond the movie (could be a prequel story, could be after the events of the movie, who knows).

You know it's going to be cool because they wrote "f***" on the ad for no reason.

Sounds like a passion project based on James Gunn's love of Cena in the new Suicide Squad movie because this the most random character to get a live action series lmao

Good for him, really.
As I’ve said before, WWE’s recent use of the guy made it seem like he’s not needed (when right now, he really is) so hey, take the opportunities that come to you, man.

And there’s still his F9 role. He’s going to blow up. Doubt at the level of Rock, but probably bigger than Dave.

I dunno, Dave is doing great as well. Equal to Dave is nothing to sneeze at.

Dave’s peachy. But Cena’s building a broad portfolio: Kids awards shows, commercials, action movies, comedy movies, TV shows, etc. Dave seems happy in his lane. Cena seems to be taking as many as he can get.
