Peacemaker BTS Video Shows DCEU Cast Rehearsing Intro Scene Choreography
Writer/director James Gunn shares a behind-the-scenes video of Peacemaker’s cast rehearsing the choreography for the series’ opening sequence. With last summer’s R-rated The Suicide Squad, Gunn introduced a slew of misfits to the DCEU. One of those “villains,” John Cena’s Christopher Smith/Peacemaker, has gotten a new series on HBO Max, the first four episodes of which have been released. The show follows Cena’s “douchey Captain America” in the wake of The Suicide Squad. The spinoff’s cast also includes Jennifer Holland, Emilia Holland, Danielle Brooks, Chukwudi Iwuji, Robert Patrick, Freddie Stroma, and Nhut Le.
After killing Rick Flag in the name of peace, being shot by Bloodsport, and having a building fall on him, Peacemaker is revealed to have survived the events on Corto Maltese in The Suicide Squad’s post-credits scene—Amanda Waller’s (Viola Davis) team needs his help to “save the f---ing world.” In Peacemaker, its titular anti-hero joins up with ARGUS for the mysteriously named Project Butterfly. Peacemaker and Project Butterfly are proving to be just as delightfully absurd, if not more so, than The Suicide Squad and Project Starfish—something that becomes apparent in the show’s opening credits.
