We are officially in 2022, and one of the first projects that the superhero genre will bring us is James Gunn’s DC show Peacemaker, which is set to premiere on January 13 on HBOMax.

Last August, the director of Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy released The Suicide Squad reboot/follow-up to David Ayer’s 2016 original movie. The movie mixed some of the already known characters, like Harley Quinn and Rick Flag, with new ones that Gunn decided to bring into DCEU. One of those new characters is Christopher Smith, also known as Peacemaker, played by widely known professional wrestler John Cena. Peacemaker is a twisted character who believes in achieving peace and doesn’t care who he needs to kill to achieve it. It’s said that heroes make the best villains, but this time, it’s the other way around.

Cena debuted as this twisted character in Gunn’s movie, and shortly after finishing the production of the movie, Gunn started writing the spin-off series which was picked up by HBOMax. Although Peacemaker was presumably killed by Idris Elba’s Bloodsport in The Suicide Squad, the post-credit scene revealed that Peacemaker survived and that he’s needed for another mission. Gunn confirmed that this spin-off series is set after the events of The Suicide Squad, although it will also explain to us the origin story of Cena’s titular character.

Check the second official trailer here:

“Peacemaker is a live action series that follows Christopher Smith AKA Peacemaker, an extremist murderer who believes he’s on a quest for peace, killing anyone and everyone to achieve his ultimate goal.” — Peacemaker, synopsis

He's also a web designer and holds a Master’s degree in general Computer Science from the Faculty of Informatics based in Pula, Croatia. Since 2018, Lukas has worked on several portals writing about movies, TV shows, and video games. He's currently writing articles for two of them: Fiction Horizon and Comic Basics. He also has a YouTube channel in his native language, and the content there is mostly reviewing popular movies and TV shows. Lukas also has an Instagram page where he once used to post fan-made posters he made, which is something he would like to continue working on, as photo and video editing are also some of his passions. Lukas is a big movie lover who is okay with watching any kind of movie. His favorite movie is Michael Curtiz's Casablanca, but he's a loyal follower of Marvel and DC movies, as well as several other blockbuster franchises he's been following for years; Star Wars, Fast & Furious, Mission: Impossible, and James Cameron's Avatar are only some of them. His favorite director is Christopher Nolan, with Quentin Tarantino and Denis Villeneuve as honorable mentions. Lukas is also a big fan of four fantasy multimedia franchises; The Wizarding World, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Witcher, and The Lord of the Rings. He calls them "the four rulers of the fantasy genre." He loves to write about anything spawned from those franchises (books, games, movies...), as well as anything branded with the Marvel or DC logo. Video games and their adaptations are also something he follows faithfully since he's a big fan of story-driven single-player games like Assassin's Creed, The Last of Us, Uncharted, etc. His favorite video game ever is Red Dead Redemption 2.
