HBO Max Orders The Suicide Squad Prequel, Peacemaker

HBO Max has given an eight-episode straight-to-series order to Peacemaker. The "action-adventure-comedy" series focuses on the origin of John Cena's character from the upcoming movie, who's described as "a man who believes in maintaining peace at all costs—no matter how many people he needs to kill to do it." James Gunn will serve as writer, director, and executive producer with Peter Safran and John Cena as executive producer and co-executive producer, respectively. Gunn commented,

Peacemaker is an opportunity to delve into current world issues through the lens of this superhero/supervillain/and world’s biggest douchebag. I’m excited to expand The Suicide Squad and bring this character from the DC film universe to the full breadth of a series. And of course, to be able to work again with John, Peter, and my friends at Warner Bros. is the icing on the cake.
