James Gunn Celebrates John Cena’s Birthday With New Peacemaker Season 2 BTS Photo

On his 48th birthday, the star is honored by friends and admirers as they acclaim his latest achievement. Joining in the celebration is James Gunn, co-CEO of DC Studios, who posts an exclusive behind-the-scenes photo from Season 2 of the DC Universe series, showering praise on Cena.

Through X (previously known as Twitter), Gunn shared a picture from the set of Peacemaker Season 2 featuring him and Cena in their complete costumes as the main character. As he wished Cena a happy birthday, Gunn expressed that Cena is “one of the key factors making Peacemaker more entertaining than anything else on the planet.

In the upcoming Season 2, we find Peacemaker welcoming back John Cena as his character, Christopher Smith. The second season is part of the DCU, following the events of Season 1 which took place within the now-defunct DC Extended Universe. Fresh footage from the series has surfaced in April.

As a movie critic, I find myself enthralled by the creation, writing, and production of Gunn’s masterpiece, “Peacemaker.” This black comedy superhero series centers around my character, Christopher Smith AKA Peacemaker, who made his debut in “The Suicide Squad.” As the jingoistic mercenary springs into action throughout the series, audiences can’t help but be drawn in.

Premiering in 2022, Season 1 was a resounding success with critics, boasting a 93% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. In Season 2, John Cena returns alongside Jennifer Holland (Leota Adebayo), reprising her role as Amanda Waller’s daughter, and Steve Agee (John Economos). Meanwhile, Frank Grillo portrays Rick Flag Sr., stepping back into the role from the DCU’s first series, “Creature Commandos.” The upcoming season promises an intense battle between Peacemaker and Rick Flag Sr., a long-overdue confrontation following Peacemaker’s tragic killing of Rick’s son.

He plans to continue playing a role similar to the fiery yet appealing character audiences have come to know him by in the DC universe’s live-action series. After Season 2, however, the fate of Peacemaker within the DC Universe is uncertain and undetermined.

John Cena Will Soon Retire From Pro Wrestling

Besides his various undertakings, including “Peacemaker,” John Cena recently garnered attention once more by clinching the WWE Championship for a record-breaking 17th time at WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas this past Sunday. This victory surpassed Ric Flair’s previous record for the most heavyweight titles ever earned within the company, and it marks Cena’s final year as an active wrestler after nearly a quarter of a century in the industry.
