John Cena is Peacemaker in the upcoming film, who was described as a douchey Captain America in the DC FanDome featurette for the film. Over the last few weeks, Peacemaker has been adding to its cast which includes Steve Agee, Danielle Brooks, Chris Conrad, Jennifer Holland, Robert Patrick, Chukwudi Iwuji , Lochlyn Munro, Annie Chang, and Christopher Heyerdahl. Peacemaker has now begun filming in Vancover and Gunn has shared a behind-the-scenes picture on social media to celebrate:

5 months ago, while quarantining, I started writing a TV series, mostly for fun, in-between Guardians drafts & cutting #TheSuicideSquad. I wrote the 1st season of #Peacemaker in 8 weeks. & now, here I am, on the 1st day of shooting. Life is surreal. Let’s go (& go safely!) ❤️☮️? pic.twitter.com/dAyAJmwYVB
