HBO Max has released a new trailer to its upcoming spin-off of The Suicide Squad, Peacemaker, and in it, John Cena’s over-the-top anti-hero shows off a vulnerable side.
Not only is Cena’s titular character apparently having second thoughts about his peace-through-violence mantra, hesitating when ordered to fire on innocent people so that he can kill a target, but he’s also having issues with his dad.
Terminator 2 and Sons of Anarchy veteran Robert Patrick plays his father, and he’s tough to impress. When Cena’s character mentions that he survived being shot — and had a building fall on top of him, referring to the close of The Suicide Squad — Patrick’s character replies, “You let somebody shoot you?!”
Despite his reservations, however, Peacemaker isn’t afraid of the action: In one scene he’s shown boasting about a new tool he created — a hand grenade attached to an old Russian tank shell. “A grenade only kills like two people!” he says in explaining his need for the upgrade.
