HBO Max has revealed the first footage from Peacemaker, the DC superhero show starring John Cena, who reprises his role from The Suicide Squad.
He’s got the looks, the car, and the best sidekick ever — all in the name of peace.
An exclusive clip from @DCPeacemaker has just been debuted by #HBOMaxEurope. Coming this January to HBO Max. pic.twitter.com/imwqlWMGMX

The clip features John Economos (Steve Agee) and Emilia Harcourt (Jennifer Holland), two of Amanda Waller's subordinates who were first seen in The Suicide Squad, waiting for Peacekeeper to arrive at a restaurant. They are accompanied by Danielle Brooks as Leota Adebayo and Chukwudi Iwuji as Clemson Murn, who also appear to be part of the team. John Cena's Peacekeeper arrives at the restaurant in full costume, along with a bald eagle called 'Eagley', much to the confusion of his new handlers.
Peacemaker is due to launch on HBO Max this January, and will explore the origins of the character. It's also set to feature Vigilante and Judomaster, two other DC characters. More is likely to be revealed at DC FanDome, which will be held on October 16.
