Peacemaker Actor Reveals When He Learned About Murn’s Big Twist
Warning: Contains spoilers for Peacemaker episode 6.
Peacemaker actor Chukwudi Iwuji reveals when he learned Clemson Murn was a butterfly in the DCEU series. In James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad, John Cena’s Christopher Smith, a.k.a. Peacemaker betrayed members of Task Force X to cover up Project Starfish. The spin-off series, Peacemaker, sees him and A.R.G.U.S. attempt to thwart an alien invasion via Operation: Butterfly. The series’ cast includes Cena, Jennifer Holland, Emilia Holland, Danielle Brooks, Robert Patrick, Freddie Stoma, Nhut Le, and Iwuji as Clemson Murn, the increasingly sensitive mercenary leading the team.

While that interaction led audiences to believe Murn is evil, the latest episode, “Murn After Reading,” revealed him to be a good butterfly, who wants to stop his fellow E.T.s from dominating the Earth.
