WWE star plays a cameo role in James Gunn's Superman [Spoilers]

James Gunn’s latest Superman film is set to premiere later this month, introducing a fresh take on the legendary Man of Steel for movie enthusiasts. The cast includes David Corenswet as Superman/Clark Kent, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, along with a notable inclusion from the WWE world.

According to Movieweb, John Cena’s character Peacemaker will make an appearance in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) within the film. Peacemaker, known as Christopher Smith, is currently featured in his own TV series, with the second season of “Peacemaker” scheduled to debut on August 21st on HBO Max.

Cena first portrayed Peacemaker in 2021’s The Suicide Squad, playing a complex, jingoistic character with a humorous edge. The show on HBO Max was well-received, establishing Cena in a significant role outside of wrestling.

Meanwhile, in WWE, John Cena is gearing up to defend his WWE Championship title against Cody Rhodes at WWE Summerslam. This year’s Summerslam event will be a two-night spectacle, promising plenty of excitement from Cena both inside the ring and beyond.

Fan Take: This crossover between WWE and the DCEU highlights John Cena’s rising influence beyond wrestling, reinforcing his status as a multi-talented entertainer. For WWE fans, it means even greater exposure for the sport and potential new audiences drawn to WWE through Cena’s Hollywood success.
