"Give peace a f*cking chance!"

The Suicide Squad director James Gunn has just shared the full-length trailer and a new poster for Peacemaker, which has now been confirmed to premiere on HBO Max this coming January 13.

This latest teaser gives us a much better idea of what to expect from the show, as John Cena's unhinged vigilante is recruited by A.R.G.U.S. to "save the f*cking world" from a mysterious group known as The Butterflies (something to do with Madame Butterfly, perhaps?).

Smith's teammates are initially - and understandably - hesitant to work with him, but he's a "grower, not a show-er" (as good an excuse for a dick joke as any), and his colleagues soon begin to warm to Peacemaker, his even less bright partner Vigilante, and his winged pal Eagley.

Check out the bonkers new trailer below, and let us know what you think in the comments.

Peacemaker will also star Jennifer Holland, Danielle Brooks, Steve Agee, Chris Conrad, and Chukwudi Iwuji. Specific plot details are still mostly under wraps, but we do know that the series will explore the origins of Cena's titular DC Comics villain/antihero, a man who believes in peace at any cost, no matter how many people he has to kill to get it.

I enjoyed it, like the crazyness and fun of the trailer.
As always, it's great to see the T1000 aka Robert Patrick again.

Cena and Patrick starred together in the Marine as well

@daveNoodles - sounds like this is for you. May be for me too, I’ll give it a shot. Just finished SoA, pretty good tho frustrating. Tried Mayans, nope. It’s like a try hard Narcos, which is effortlessly cool. I’m saying that alot today

Much better than the first trailer, The Butterflys seem like some kind of hive mind like Starro though.

We're getting a Peacemaker show guys... A PEACEMAKER SHOW... And yet DC hasn't touched Batman Beyond since the early 2000's.

No new cartoon, live action show/movie, nothing. Unbelievable.

@KWilly - We're getting a Peacemaker show, guys... A PEACEMAKER SHOW... And yet DC hasn't touched THE QUESTION since Justice League Unlimited and Batman: The Brave and the Bold.

No new cartoon, live action show/movie, nothing. Unbelievable.

@BlackBeltJones - That too, but I remember one of the higher ups saying they have plans for the Question in the movies, which is why they can't use him in TV right now.

But I doubt they'll ever get around to using him for a movie anyway.

Completely unrelated to the story, but how do you unblock someone now that the site has changed? There were a handful of users I would block when they got too annoying but would then unblock them, but now it doesn't appear that I can.

@FearTheLiving - I want to know this too. Spent too long the other day going all over this site trying to figure out how to do that. Really weird there is no option for that

This was a much better showing for the series. I'm much more into it.

But still not enough to actually look forward to it. It looks more palatable than the movie's humor, but it's still got too much of the annoying type of irreverence.

Looks good. Glad we are getting something with a different vibe from Marvel/Disney shows.

@RokoVII - Your comment actually made me appreciate this more. I was thinking it did not look all that good, but I think its just the lack of knowing the characters on my part or something. But, I am really glad we are getting something above the CW level of production quality that is not Marvel. So, I will watch it.

As a gay man I appreciate as much tighty-whitey shots of John Cena as possible. Anytime I can see John Cena naked, I'm here for it.

That being said, John Cena is not a good actor. But in this role he doesn't necessarily need to be. He has to be one thing and one thing only. Yes, there is a "grower not shower" through line that HAS to be there or else we'd HATE the character. But even within that character growth which we'll see all season, he really doesn't have to stretch his acting chops that much.

I will check it out. James Gunn is a really good writer and director. So I have a feeling, two mediocre trailers notwithstanding, this will actually be a good show. We'll see...

I thought Peacemaker was great in Suicide Squad so I’m cautiously optimistic about this. Not sure about him taking center stage but I trust Gunn.

Seems like Gunn is doing his Gunn-iest which is a little too much for me
