The Fourth of July is the most patriotic day of the year, but HBO Max is about to make a case for January 13th being the runner-up. Why? Because that’s when the new HBO Max original series Peacemaker premieres — and it’s about as American as a bald eagle sticking its head out of the passenger window of a red, white, and blue hot rod while the stereo cranks hair metal.
The series stars John Cena as the titular vigilante, a well-intentioned but simple man who uses excessive force to keep the peace. The series comes from writer/director James Gunn, the filmmaker who introduced Cena’s peacekeeper in 2021’s The Suicide Squad (also streaming on HBO Max, BTW).
