He’s not the most famous DC Comics character, and besides, he’s not even a superhero! It doesn’t matter because Peacemaker is currently one of the top series in the DC universe on AlloCiné with an average viewership rating of 4 out of 5! This spin-off from James Gunn’s Suicide Squad stars John Cena as a supervillain on a quest for redemption.
A completely insane series, Peacemaker opens with the anthology credits. accompanied by a title Do you want to taste it? From the band Wig Wam, this opening sequence sees the entire cast perform some hilarious choreography.
Suffice to say, with credits like these, we immediately know that this superhero series shouldn’t be taken too seriously!
A sort of Deadpool from the DC Comics universe, Peacemaker is a soldier who believes in working for justice. In order to establish peace in our world, he is ready to kill all who stand in his way: men, women and children. His arrogance and peculiar sense of humor made him a character hated by members of the Suicide Squad, but adored by fans for the same reasons.
John Cena, in what he considers the role of a lifetime, delivers an absolutely unforgettable performance that allows him to steal the spotlight from his co-stars in the film, including Margot Robbie and Idris Elba.
Season 2 coming later than expected
A success, Peacemaker was immediately renewed for an additional season by Max Platform. But you’ll have to wait until you discover the rest of the series, for a few reasons.
The first followed a writers’ strike in Hollywood that prevented the scripts from being completed, although filming for season 2 was still mentioned in 2023.
The second reason is the reboot of the DC Comics universe. in October 2022, James Gunn Named co-head of DC Studios. The latter is now responsible for developing the renewal of the superhero franchise and ensuring consistency between its films and series (much like Kevin Feige in the MCU).
The director is set to direct a new Superman movie starring David Korenswet, while also overseeing new versions of Batman, Supergirl, Green Lantern and Swamp Thing. A Season 2 of Peacemaker has been confirmed despite this reboot, but a filming date has yet to be announced.
Therefore, we will not have to wait until 2025, at best, before the Peacemaker returns to work for the second season of its series. Unless, of course, the anti-hero played by John Cena doesn’t make a cameo appearance in another DC production by now – like the Amanda Waller series?
The Peacemaker series, available on Prime Video, will leave Amazon’s streaming service catalog on December 31.
