Suicide Squad 2: Every Confirmed (And Rumoured) Character So Far
6. John Cena As The Peacemaker (Rumoured)
The Doctor of Thuganomics became the second WWE superstar cast in the DCEU after The Rock, and will be the second to work with James Gunn after Dave Bautista. Cena's casting immediately brings to mind the kind of muscular, military men the wrestler tends to play in Hollywood, and The Suicide Squad will apparently be no different.
Much like Sean Gunn, John Cena's character is listed on IMDb, and though this doesn't act as a definitive confirmation, it seems likely that he will be portraying The Peacemaker.
The character, a jacked diplomat who adopts the paradox of using force to establish peace, makes perfect sense for someone like John Cena. Christopher Smith is a clean cut vigilante ultimately on the quest for peace, and though the wrestler will portray an antagonist in Fast 9, bad guys really aren't his thing. If he is going to play a villain in The Suicide Squad, it makes sense that there is at least some redeeming factor to him.
