John Cena avoided a question about whether he’s playing Peacemaker in James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad in a recent interview.
While fans are desperate to find out which other characters are in James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad, John Cena is refusing to reveal anything about the new DC film, including who he’s playing. During a recent interview, he dodged a question about if he’s playing Peacemaker alongside Idris Elba, David Dastmalchian and Taika Waititi. It seems like John Cena won’t reveal anything about his role until he’s told he’s allowed to.
During the interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the host asked John Cena about James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad, bringing up the internet’s theory about his potential role as Peacemaker on the team. The only thing John Cena confirmed was that he’s in the middle of shooting the DC film before going on to say that not everything the internet says is true. He noted that he’s been pronounced dead on a number of occasions online. Take a look at John Cena avoiding questions about The Suicide Squad below.
“I can’t confirm or deny anything about Suicide Squad. I can tell you that I’m right in the middle of filming it. The DC people are always watching. I do believe the Internet has pronounced me dead on seven or eight occasions. Not everything you see is true.”

David Ayer’s Suicide Squad movie followed a team of supervillains who were recruited by the government for a dangerous black ops mission in exchange for reduced sentences. The sequel will see the return of four cast members from that film: Robbie as Harley Quinn, Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, Jai Courtney as Captain Boomerang, and Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flag.
James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad is expected to deliver a new take on the titular supervillain team, with Idris Elba playing a new character on the team, David Dastmalchian starring as Polka-Dot Man, Daniela Melchior as Ratcatcher, and Steve Agee voicing King Shark. Other cast members confirmed for the ensemble picture include John Cena, Storm Reid, Flula Borg, Nathan Fillion, Taika Waititi, Peter Capaldi, Michael Rooker, Sean Gunn, Mayling Ng, Jennifer Holland, Pete Davidson, Juan Diego Botto, Alice Braga, Tinashe Kajese, Julio Ruiz, and Joaquín Cosío.
The Suicide Squad opens in theaters on August 6, 2021.
