Happy birthday, Peacemaker. 58 years on from the DC vigilante’s debut, directorJames Gunnhas teased what’s next for John Cena’s iteration of the character with a behind-the-scenes post from production on Peacemaker season 2.
“On this day, #Peacemaker aka Christopher Smith made his first comic appearance in Fightin’ 5 #40, in 1966, created by Joe Gill and Pat Boyette,” Gunn wrote on Twitter. “It’s the role @JohnCena was born to play, and I can’t wait to show you all what we’re cooking up now for @Peacemaker Season 2!”
Accompanying the tweet, which you can see below, is a side-by-side shot of Peacemaker’s debut in the pages of DC and a shot of – presumably – John Cena in the trademark helmet.
The co-CEO of DC Studios has also been busy with helming the new live-actionSuperman, whichwrapped filming in July.
