At first, Cena had approached the character as an angular drill sergeant, but Gunn set him straight. This is not what Im looking for. Im looking for a douchey, bro-y Captain America.  Cena added that the character also drew from his own role in WWE, a wrestler who adhered to a strong set of values. Peacemaker  John Cena's role in Suicide Squad is not only going to be featured in the film but is also slated to get an HBO Max series. Just screened #F9 and surprised by how much I enjoyed it. It is a love letter to the #FastAndFurious franchise fans - faster, more furious, nonstop action with a heart felt story. @JohnCena joining the cast was a brilliant move. #FastAndFurious9 pic.twitter.com/LL2dgZpSFu  Amanda Taylor (@geeklyamanda) June 22, 2021  Ever since he stepped back from in-ring action in WWE, John Cena has been churning out hits.
