Wrestler turned actor John Cena is all set to return as the unapologetic, patriotic anti-hero Christopher Smith in the highly anticipated Peacemaker Season 2.
DC Studios has just released the trailer for the upcoming season, creating a buzz among the audience. The recently released trailer gave a glimpse of surprising cameos and confirmed that Peacemaker is finally a part of the DCU.
The trailer opens with Chris Smith, aka Peacemaker, played by John Cena, interviewing for what appears to be the Justice League.
The trailer then teased Superman's connection with the surprise cameos from Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner and Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, who are set to appear in the upcoming superhero film.
Kendra Saunders, aka Hawkgirl and Guy Gardner, aka one of the Green Lanterns, joined the Peacemaker in the interview room. Maxwell Lord, played by Sean Gunn, leads the interview. However, he seems to be on the side of justice rather than a villainous figure.
