John Cena’s Peacemaker series adds King Shark actor Steve Agee (but not as King Shark)

October 30, 2020 by Liam Waddington

Last month it was announced that John Cena will re-team with The Suicide Squad and Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn for a brand-new series on HBO Max which will focus on Cena’s Peacemaker character.

Now, according to Deadline, the HBO Max series has cast James Gunn regular Steve Agee, who is standing in for King Shark during production in the same way Sean Gunn stood in for Rocket Raccoon in Guardians of the Galaxy, but he won’t be reprising his role as King Shark. Agee will be reprising his other The Suicide Squad role as John Economos, a character who is a warden of Belle Reve Federal Penitentiary and an aide to Viola Davis’ Amanda Waller.

Agee has previously worked with James Gunn on four other projects including The Suicide Squad, Super, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, and the horror feature film Brightburn which was produced by Gunn and directed by David Yarovesky.

While plot details are being kept under wraps, we do know the Peacemaker series will run for eight episodes and will be an action-adventure comedy that will focus on the origins of Peacemaker, “a man who believes in peace at any cost, no matter how many people he has to kill to get it.”

Are you looking forward to the brand-new HBO Max series focusing on John Cena’s Peacemaker? Let us know on Facebook or Twitter @flickeringmyth…

The Suicide Squad sees James Gunn directing a cast that includes Suicide Squad returnees Margot Robbie (Harley Quinn), Jai Courtney (Captain Boomerang), Joel Kinnaman (Rick Flag) and Viola Davis (Amanda Waller) as well as new DCEU additions Idris Elba, Peter Capaldi, Alice Braga, Nathan Fillion, Taika Waititi, Jennifer Holland, David Dastmalchian, Joaquín Cosío, Mayling Ng, Flula Borg, Juan Diego Botto, Storm Reid, John Cena, Pete Davidson, Tinashe Kajese, Daniela Melchior, Julio Ruiz, Steve Agee, Michael Rooker, and Sean Gunn.
