John Cena says that James Gunn fully intended to kill Peacemaker at the end of The Suicide Squad, but the two had so much fun working together that Gunn decided to break his biggest rule.

Season 2 of the John Cena -led series Peacemaker returns to HBO Max tonight, Aug. 21, three years after the first season aired and one cinematic universe reset later.

After a brief appearance in James Gunn's Superman, Peacemaker, portrayed by John Cena, is set to return for his own HBO Max series in the upcoming season. The second season is scheduled to premiere on August 21 on HBO Max and August 22 on JioHotstar in India.

So that is an environment with no friends. I have no allegiances and may God I have mercy on my soul. Who is John Cena's biggest rival?

It's been three and a half years since the season 1 of Peacemaker, starring Cena as the main character, premiered on HBO Max. The series is finally coming back for season 2, and DC Universe (DCU) overseer James Gunn is having a blast with the actor in their promotional appearances for season 2.

James Gunn returns to his wild, irreverent corner of the DC Universe as Peacemaker Season 2 is set to hit screens with an all-star new cast, massive battles, and unexpected pairings.

Frank Grillo says he was left "surprised" by John Cena during their time working together on Peacemaker. While attending the premiere for the show’s second season, the actor, 60, told PEOPLE that the WWE pro-wrestler turned actor, 48, delivered a performance that caught him off guard — in the best way.
