Peacemaker John Cena
Peacemaker: James Gunn Is Tight Lipped On Vigilante In The HBO Max Series

Peacemaker is still a ways away, but people are actually quite excited about it. That's to be expected since we've already seen the character in action. John Cena's Peacemaker was a highlight of The Suicide Squad film, and Peacemaker producer James Gunn (who directed The Suicide Squad) is returning for the HBO Max series. We saw some footage for the first time thanks to a sizzle reel from HBO, but there wasn't much revealed there. There is one little clip though, where people think they've seen Vigilante. Vigilante is a different character that, if I remember correctly, is confirmed to appear in Peacemaker.

This won't be the first time Vigilante has scored a live-action appearance. The character originally showed up in Arrow and was fairly well received. The character was certainly cool, and the twist with him on that show was fun, at least. I'm not expecting Peacemaker to follow the same formula, or idea, at all. I really think Peacemaker will put its own twist on Vigilante. He should work well with Peacemaker, at any rate. Still, we can't even be sure if that was him in the footage! James Gunn has no interest in telling us, either. Freddie Stroma will be portraying Vigilante for Peacemaker.

Someone tweeted at the Peacemaker producer, asking if that was Vigilante in the trailer. All James Gunn had to say in response was:

"Justice can not be fully revealed. #Vigilante #Peacemaker #BFFs"

Here's the tweet!

"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." Gunn said when the series was first announced!

We'll be seeing more of Peacemaker at the DC FanDome 2021! Still no word on an official release date yet, though!
