John Cena reacts to the popularity of Thor: Love and Thunder's trailer with a Peacemaker joke. The WWE wrestler-turned-actor first starred as the DC character in James Gunn's 2021 film The Suicide Squad as one of the many misfits part of Task Force X sent to Corto Maltese to destroy Project Starfish. Though Cena's chrome-domed vigilante is seemingly killed by Bloodsport during the mission, a post-credits scene revealed he was still alive, directly setting up Peacemaker's HBO Max spinoff in which he is tasked with a new mission dubbed Project Butterfly. The Peacemaker series turned out to be a hit, quickly receiving a season 2 renewal.
Earlier this week, Marvel Studios finally unveiled the trailer for Thor: Love and Thunder. The biggest takeaways from the trailer were the return of Chris Hemsworth as Thor alongside the Guardians of the Galaxy. Though Christian Bale's villain Gorr the God Butcher was not glimpsed, Natalie Portman's Jane Foster was shown wielding Mjolnir as the Mighty Thor during the trailer's final moments. Like many MCU trailers, Love and Thunder's was released to much fanfare, racking up over 200 million views in its first 24 hours, the fourth-most watched trailer within that timeframe.
