Peacemaker is an American TV series focusing on an anti-hero from DC Comics of the same name. The series is produced by James Gunn and is exclusive to HBO Max, like all the recent DC projects, Titans included.

The titular character, Peacemaker, is played by the former WWE Superstar, John Cena, who is reprising his role after the 2021 reboot of Suicide Squad. Other cast members of this HBO Max TV show include Danielle Brooks as Leota Adebayo, Freddie Stroma as Adrian Chase / Vigilante, Chukwudi Iwuji as Clemson Murn, Jennifer Holland as Emilia Harcourt, Steve Agee as John Economos, and Robert Patrick as August “Auggie” Smith / White Dragon – Peacemaker’s dad.

The Cena starrer is set after the events of the 2021 Suicide Squad and follows Christopher Smith, AKA Peacemaker, who has now joined a black-ops unit called A.R.G.U.S that kills parasitic, inhuman creatures, called “Butterflies” who roam the earth in human form. The show also focuses on other elements in Christopher’s life, like his relationship with his dad.
