There are some actors who seem born to play superheroes, and wrestler-turned-actor John Cena is one of them. Cena will be part of the next epic by James Gunn Suicide squad, in the role of the anti-hero peacemaker, described as an “idiot Captain America”. Cena has started doing interviews for the film in the full “Peacemaker” costume, prompting Gunn to share a memory on Twitter of the actor sleeping in the costume to get a better idea.
I’m not kidding, @John Cena he just took a uniform home from set because he said he wanted to see what it was like to take a nap with him. https://t.co/dO1kBMO47X

“I’m not kidding, @JohnCena took a uniform home from set because he said he wanted to see what it was like to take a nap with him.”
John Cena He responded to Gunn’s tweet with his trademark humor, replying, “Well, it’s made from an overly comfortable cotton blend. Its colors are very subdued edgy mixed into an unassuming nouveau riche statement that screams’ Where is the beach going? of freedom? “
While Cena’s desire to sleep on her Pacifier The costume may seem like a bit of comedy, there might be some serious “method acting” thinking behind it. Actors like Viggo Mortensen while playing Aragorn and Daniel Day-Lewis while playing Bill the Butcher have been known to stick with their characters’ period clothing even when offstage to get a better idea of their roles.
Cena comes from a wrestling environment, where a lot of emphasis is placed on “kayfabe”, aka “character who never breaks, even when he’s out of the ring. Perhaps Cena felt a similar approach was needed for Peacemaker, a psychotic and paranoid character obsessed with keeping the peace, who is so committed to his job as a vigilante that it would make sense for him to want to sleep in his disguise so that he would be ready to fight at any moment. .
Whether Cena’s love of her costume is a bit comical or a complete acting method, the results speak for themselves. The character already has his own green-lit spinoff show on HBO Max even before the release of Suicide squad. Clearly, the studio has a lot of faith in what Cena has done with Peacemaker.
Now it remains to be seen if the audience will also support the action star’s strangely violent new avatar. If Dave Bautista’s success as Drax in Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy The movies are an indication, Cena is in good hands.
