Despite James Gunn's The Suicide Squad bombing at the box office, Gunn had already wrapped filming the spin-off series Peacemaker - starring John Cena's titular psychopathic take on Captain America - before the movie was even released.

The DC Extended Universe's first-ever TV show will explore Peacemaker's origins and chronicle the fallout of The Suicide Squad, with Gunn writing all eight episodes and directing five.

As the marketing has made clear so far, the show will retain the recent film's irreverent tone - as is to be expected from Gunn - while fleshing Peacemaker out with a little more nuance.

If it's a success, don't be surprised if other DCEU characters are spun off into their own TV shows soon enough.

Peacemaker will premiere on HBO Max on January 13th.
