‘Peacemaker’ director James Gunn is already working on another DC series related to ‘The Suicide Squad’

28 January, 2022

James Gunn brought an entertaining and unique property to the DC Extended Universe with The Suicide Squad in 2021, and the director continues to wow fans with his Peacemaker series. Apparently, the John Cena-led show isn’t the only one Gunn has planned for the platform either. He hinted another The Suicide Squad spinoff could be on the way.

Before James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad hit theaters back in August 2021, Warner Bros. and HBO Max had already greenlit a Peacemaker spinoff series. Starring John Cena as Christopher Smith, the DC show has become a massive hit since its premiere on Jan. 13.

In fact, according to data from Parrot Analytics (via Business Insider), Peacemaker is the most in-demand streaming show as of Jan. 22. That’s an impressive accomplishment just a couple of weeks into its first season.
