From a studio perspective, I can't really see Cena dying; he's charismatic and a big enough name to draw eyeballs, but enough of a B-lister that getting him back for future movies can't be that expensive.

Maybe he's not as big/expensive a draw as I'm thinking, but I cant imagine Idris Elba surviving to be paid for in future sequels.

Gunn has purposely not confirmed "when" the new Peacemaker TV series takes place so there are rumors that it's a prequel/origin story.

"While completing work on The Suicide Squad (2021) in August 2020, during lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic, writer and director James Gunn began writing a spin-off television series centered on the origins of the character Peacemaker, portrayed by John Cena in the film."

That'd sure be ..... something. His comicbook origins were pretty :stare:

quote:

The Peacemaker is Christopher Smith, a pacifist diplomat so committed to peace that he was willing to use force as a superhero to advance the cause.[3] He uses an array of special non-lethal weapons, and also founds the Pax Institute. Most of the villains he goes up against are dictators and warlords.[4] Smith later learns that his peace-through-violence efforts were the result of a serious mental illness brought on by the shame of having a Nazi death camp commandant for a father. He believes his father's spirit haunts him continually and criticizes his every move, even as he tries to live down his past.

Becoming a particularly deadly vigilante who would kill at the slightest notice, he begins to believe that the ghosts of the people he killed, or who were killed in his vicinity, are collected inside his helmet and can offer him advice and commentary.

Afaik, Elba wanted Heimdall dead. Naw, I think he would be happy to be one and done when it comes to superheroes.

lol, now I'm thinking of him being left to hang off the roof as Heimdall and talking about what he was doing with his life.

My problem with this movie is I totally don't trust them to not just go back to the same tired story beats they've been pushing for like the last 4 Saw movies. Especially since it is the same writers as Jigsaw, which sucked.

It was so loving funny when it just went as stupid into all the cliches the series had built up as the last movies had.

I’m sorry I’ve been conditioned by 20 years of Rock’s comedy and acting to hear his angry voice and think “ah yes, he is telling a joke/being funny,” I dunno if I’ll be able to suspend belief to see him as a serious cop guy. He’s not a bad actor but he’s definitely got a limited range, but it’s not like his fellow producers are gonna tell him to get someone else.

I appreciate that they sort of went in a social commentary direction towards the end, everyone remembers the one about American health insurance but no one remembers the protest/ad blood drive they held for Jigsaw that specifically called out FDA/Red Cross restrictions on gay men donating blood. Of course just because I appreciate the message doesn’t mean I have to watch the movie, if I want violence, social commentary and a good movie, I’ll watch The First Purge.

The saw timeline is real fun now if you try to make any sense of it. Like half of the movies are prequels to sequels and none of it really makes sense anymore. Some fun trap/deaths in them though and they were consistent in coming out around Halloween so I’ve seen them all.

Jigsaw is a prequel to the series, spoiler, but the rest are chronological save for flashback sequences and the like, I think? Regardless, I feel the main Saw series doesn't get nearly enough credit for how coherent the larger plot was, which is not to speak of any of the traps, the people in them, or the justifications for any of that which was all afterthought. The battle amongst John Kramer's successors to be the last person standing was very tightly plotted and clearly done so as early as Saw III's production, as it would have both fallen apart very quickly if not and failed to culminate in the VII aka Final Chapter aka Saw 3D(?) ending, which wrapped up everything in a very neat package and explained with perfect logic a major plot hole of the entire series. Horror had never seen continuity like this prior, and I don't feel film really had either until Marvel came along. That may be bold but I've always been impressed by world built and the effectiveness of the telling of their tale.
