The Suicide Squad Trailer Breakdown: 23 Things You Must See

The Suicide Squad Harley Quinn
Warner Bros.

Much like King Shark is destined to steal the show, things are shaping up rather nicely for John Cena's Peacemaker to likewise impress in The Suicide Squad - after all, this is character who has already been given his own HBO Max prequel/spin-off series.

As Amanda Waller briefs Task Force X on their latest mission, it's fun to see Peacemaker taking things so seriously, making notes on Waller's instructions while the rest of the team show disinterest.

Cena himself has described his character as a "douchey Captain America", and that is often the case for Peacemaker.

For those not familiar with him, this is character who always tries hard, who always thinks he's doing right and who only wants to see peace spread across the world. The thing is, to achieve said peace, Peacemaker often resorts to guns and bloodshed to reach his goals.
