Peacemaker Trailer Asks Us to Give Peace a Flippin’ Chance



HBO Max has just released the official trailer for the Suicide Squad spin-off series, Peacemaker. With his eagle in tow, our unsavory hero more than establishes that some daddy issues are in play, as well as some morals missing. Yet, somehow, our decidely PC-aversed superhero grows on you. And with the help of the crew, maybe he can grow a little, too.

HBO Max took to Twitter to demand the fans, “Give peace a f-cking chance. @DCpeacemaker arrives on HBO Max this January.”

And boy, did the fans let the f-bombs fly! We’ll skip it, but the fans are ready for some effing Peacemaker! JohnBoy hears what I’m saying.”An F-Bomb on a post like this?!?! Time to get down ‘n dirty.”

KDots is pumped! “This looks like loads of fun, we got a f-cking Eagle, and seeing Peacemaker morals get challenged is awesome.”

Josh says, “Peacemaker’s gonna be the best new HBO Max series of 2022! I can’t wait for more of James Gunn’s vision & for more of John Cena being sexy af!” Tell us how you really feel, Josh!

What can we expect from the new series? “Well, through the story, you learn where Peacemaker came from,” James Gunn told Variety this summer. “There’s a moment in [The Suicide Squad] where Bloodsport talks about his father and what his father was like, and you cut to a shot of Peacemaker, and Peacemaker nods. That’s the seed of the entire Peacemaker series. So we get to see Peacemaker with his father, who’s played by Robert Patrick, where he came from, what he’s done, what that means to him, and where he’s going after all of this. Because he’s not an evil person, he’s just a bad guy. He seems sort of irredeemable in the film. But I think that there’s more to him. We didn’t get a chance to know him [in The Suicide Squad] in the way we get to know some of the other characters. And so that’s what the whole show is about. I needed eight episodes to do it, at least.”

The HBO Max series explores the origins of Peacemaker and his subsequent missions, with John Cena joined by the likes of Steve Agee as John Economos, the warden of the Belle Reve penitentiary and an aide to Amanda Waller; Danielle Brooks as Leota Adebayo, who has been described by James Gunn as a co-lead of the series with a different political view from Peacemaker’s, Robert Patrick as Auggie Smith, Peacemaker’s father; Jennifer Holland as Emilia Harcourt, a NSA agent who is an aide to Amanda Waller, Freddie Stroma as Adrian Chase AKA Vigilante, a district attorney and crimefighter who can quickly heal from injuries, and Chukwudi Iwuji as Clemson Murn, a mercenary who in the past has worked for Amanda Waller. Gunn has also promised we’ll see some Task Force X cameos to look forward to!

HBO will debut the Peacemaker series streaming on HBO Max starting January 13 2022.

Most commonly asked question? “Why do you know that?”
