Writer and director James Gunn is currently doing prep work on his new John Cena-led
Peacemaker
series for HBO Max.
The series, which is a spin-off from Gunn’s upcoming film
The Suicide Squad
follows Christopher Smith aka, Peacemaker. John Cena will reprise his role from the film and serve as the lead character in this new show.

Peacemaker’s character has been described by Cena as a
“douchey Captain America,”
which means that he’ll likely be taking cues from Marvel’s Star Spangled Man with a Plan. And while other characters from
The Suicide Squad
movie, as well as newly introduced heroes are confirmed to return for this new streaming series, there’s one DC hero that fans can count out for sure.

Taking to Twitter,
James Gunn spoke out
on the recent rumors that his
Peacemaker
series would include DC’s Green Arrow as a character. When asked if there was any truth to these claims, Gunn simply replied
“It’s nonsense.”

Additionally, actor Steve Agee, who’s set to appear in both
The Suicide Squad
and
Peacemaker
,
humorously chimed in

Wait, I’m not Green Arrow?
WHAT THIS MEANS
Some fans may be disappointed by the news that Green Arrow will, in fact, not be appearing but it’s safe to say an even larger contingent of DC fans can now breathe a sigh of relief. For the unitiated, The CW’s
Arrow
recently wrapped up an eight season run and some may have had quite a difficult time accepting a new take on the Emerald Archer and an actor playing him that wasn’t fan-favorite Stephen Amell.
For what it’s worth,
Gunn made a follow-up tweet
expressing his love for Green Arrow, explaining that when he was a kid, he’d always wanted to be him when he and his friends pretended to be the Justice League.
Even though Green Arrow won’t be showing up,
Peacemaker
seems to be
jam packed with other characters
and with Gunn at the helm, it would seem that fans are in for quite a treat when the series drops on HBO Max.
