These 17 Moments Made John Cena's Character In "The Suicide Squad"
The latest movie to come out of DC's stable, The Suicide Squad, brought back some characters from Suicide Squad and introduced us to a battery of new characters. One of them was the Peacemaker, portrayed on screen by John Cena.
Peacemaker first appeared in 1966 as a character from Charlton Comics. When DC later acquired them, Peacemaker went into DC's bag.
In the comics, Peacemaker's best known alter ego is Christopher Smith who was born to an Austrian industrialist later revealed to be a Nazi war criminal. Christopher Smith witnessed his father committing suicide and was affected by mental trauma.
John Cena described his character as "a loud obnoxious bro-ey douchebag".
During the first few days of shooting, Cena was trying to be like Lee Ermey from Full Metal Jacket and that's when James Gunn stopped him. "Stop, that's not who this guy is. He's like a douchey, bro-ey Captain America", was Gunn's advice. And Cena latched on to that.
Let's take a look at some of the best moments of Peacemaker in the movie The Suicide Squad.
1.Peacemaker usually behaves like a school kid who is trying hard to be at the top of the class.
2.And he's sarcastic.
3.Perhaps something we all can relate to.
4.And he's observant.
5.Peacemaker's commitment to preserving peace can apparently make him eat male genitalia.
6.This reminds you of Lt Col Kilgore's famous line about napalm from Apocalypse Now.
7.He wears the best costume to fight in: tighty whities.
8.His obsession with peace is really gruesome.
9.This was one of the morbidly funny scenes — Cena hacks the sleeping guy as if cutting a moist dough.
10."Ahh, nothing to see here. Just causally picking my nose while I massacre a camp of resistance fighters."
11.Who said no one likes a show off?
12.Peacemaker is a team player. More on that later.
13.And an awkward-but-cute dancer as well.
14.His desperate attempt to drive the van through the hole was hilarious.
15.Now you know what his helmet means.
16.Peacemaker can be nasty when it comes to protecting peace. Team spirit can take a hike.
17.Peacemaker doesn't take prisoners.
