The news that filmmaker James Gunn is developing a Peacemaker TV series spinning out of the events of The Suicide Squad definitely came as a surprise, and there's a lot of excitement to return to this world on HBO Max. The movie comes first, of course, and it now sounds like other members of Task Force X will join John Cena on the streaming service. 

Responding to a fan on Twitter, Gunn seemingly confirmed that other characters from his movie will be part of Peacemaker, though he didn't name names and might just be having fun. 

With the spinoff expected to be part prequel, part sequel, it makes sense for Peacemaker to be joined by some familiar faces, and Gunn is no doubt going to enjoy exploring this corner of the DC Universe, fleshing out the surviving members of Task Force X in the process. 

It all depends on who survives, and it's likely Peacemaker will see the title character sent on a solo mission by Amanda Waller and Rick Flag. His comic book counterpart's modus operandi is to take out those he believe could be the next Hitler, so A.R.G.U.S. will have plenty of directions to send this violent, peace loving vigilante in...he might just need some company!

Hope we get stuff like in The Multiversity where Peacemaker punches his way through enemies with the hopes of no casualties. Even when there are casualties he just says: “must try harder next time.”

Really looking forward to this, and honestly the future of DC

The Suicide Squad looks like a great throwback to the 80s comics that I loved reading upto the 2016 movie

The Batman looks straight up incredible

WW1984 I have a lot of faith in because of Patty and the cast.

Shazam was a great suprise, and Black Adam is hyped af by Johnson

And, (unpopular maybe) Flash sounds insane, and I love the concept of having the former Batmen

@Reeds2Much - That was my exact thought. This could be a pretty cool playground for lesser known, highly disposable characters. Did you ever think you'd live in a world where Polka-dot Man, The Condiment King and Kiteman could possibly be in a live action shared universe here before some fan favorites like Green Arrow, Zatana, Blue Beetle and Booster Gold?

I hope this will include some other weird characters that aren't in The Suicide Squad too. Either way, this definitely could use a Joel Kinnaman type
