James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad is hitting theatres and HBO Max in August, and it will soon be followed by Peacemaker. Gunn and John Cena have been busy filming the spin-off for HBO Max and DC in Canada and it looks like it’s going to be a bloody, good time. Gunn recently had a chat with Den of Geek where he talked about The Suicide Squad and its fun cast of characters as well as Peacemaker. He revealed that the 1970s Captain America provided inspiration for Peacemaker, and that’s not all. In a tweet today, he shared other inspirations, and some are more recent than you’d expect.
My biggest inspiration is @JohnCena taking a costume home to see what it’s like to nap in it. Other big inspirations are Better Call Saul, Dance Dance Revolution, tightie-whities, Def Leppard, the 1970’s Captain America TV movie, and a rotten childhood. https://t.co/zGElKFLJmD pic.twitter.com/vSekJRZaH8
