In recent months, Prime Video has managed to capture the attention of viewers with a series of buddy movies starring WWE stars, consolidating an appeal that evokes the nostalgia of the 90s.

In recent months, Prime Video has managed to capture the attention of viewers with a series of buddy movies starring WWE stars, consolidating an appeal that evokes the nostalgia of the 90s. Among them are Red One, featuring Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans; State of the Union, with John Cena and Idris Elba; and the most recent, The Demolition Brothers, starring Dave Bautista and Jason Momoa.
A Hilarious Buddy Movie
The demolition brothers have had a successful debut, reaching number 1 in 50 countries and grossing nearly 20 million dollars in its first weekend, with a budget of less than 3 million. The film features a disciplined Navy SEAL instructor, James Hale (Bautista), and an anarchic police detective, Jonny Hale (Momoa), whose opposing personalities force them to collaborate in a plot involving a murder and a conspiracy.
The film promises a mix of action and comedy, with well-choreographed graphic violence that keeps the viewer’s attention. Although the fiction follows the conventional scheme of a buddy movie, its quality in execution seems to have resonated favorably with both critics and the public. This project arose from a challenge on Twitter between Bautista and Momoa and was directed by Ángel Manuel Soto, who has been praised for his work.
As the entertainment industry seeks new formulas to attract audiences, the success of this movie demonstrates that the combination of charisma, explosive action, and humor can result in massive appeal. Amazon, like others in the sector, highlights the power of WWE figures in the cinematic realm, capitalizing on their popularity to revitalize a subgenre that seems to be making a comeback.

In episode 6 of season 2 of Peacemaker, fans were surprised by a cameo from actor Nicholas Hoult, who plays Lex Luthor. In this appearance, Luthor meets Rick Flag Sr. at Belle Reve, where they both make a deal: Luthor will provide equipment to Flag in exchange for being transferred to a prison without metahumans. This moment has sparked a great debate among fans, who are starting to wonder if DC series are falling into the trap of becoming “homework,” similar to the productions of the Marvel cinematic universe.

In this appearance, Luthor meets with Rick Flag Sr. at Belle Reve, where they both make a deal: Luthor will provide equipment to Flag in exchange for being transferred to a prison without metahumans. This moment has sparked a great debate among fans, who are starting to wonder if DC series are falling into the trap of becoming “homework,” similar to the productions of the Marvel cinematic universe.
Lex Luthor has things to comment on
The comparisons between the DC and Marvel universes are at the center of this discussion. Some fans have expressed concern about how DC interconnects its narratives. A user on Twitter commented: “¡Peacemaker is officially homework!“, suggesting that the content of the series feels necessary to fully understand the broader plots of the DCU. However, other DC defenders argue that the way the story is presented is different, pointing out that the connection of events in Peacemaker is not as demanding as what Marvel has done with its series and movies.
James Gunn, director and key figure behind the DCU, has hinted that there will be more cameos in season 2 of Peacemaker before its conclusion, which could continue to fuel the debate about the need to consume additional content to understand the narrative. Meanwhile, Peacemaker is being released weekly on HBO Max in the U.S. and NOW in the UK, making it easy for audiences to access the episodes and keeping them engaged throughout the season.
Epic Games has generated a stir in the Fortnite community by removing the skin of The Peacemaker, the character played by John Cena, after a controversial development in the plot of the HBO series in which he appears. The collaboration, which introduced both the character’s outfit and an associated dance emote, was compromised after the plot twist revealed in the sixth episode of the second season, where a parallel reality is exposed in which the United States lives under a Nazi regime. Too many Nazis for the well-meaning Fortnite The emote in question, known as Hips […]
Epic Games has stirred up the Fortnite community by removing the skin of The Peacemaker, the character played by John Cena, following a controversial development in the plot of the HBO series in which he appears. The collaboration, which introduced both the character’s outfit and an associated dance emote, was compromised after the plot twist revealed in the sixth episode of the second season, where a parallel reality is exposed in which the United States lives under a Nazi regime.
Too Many Nazis for the Virtuous Fortnite
The gesture in question, known as Peaceful Hips, has been the subject of controversy due to its similarity to symbolism related to Nazism, evoking images from works such as Disney’s short film Der Fuehrer’s Face. In light of this dilemma, Epic Games has decided to disable the gesture while investigating the creative intent behind its inclusion in the collaboration. Additionally, the company announced that refunds will be issued to players who purchased the gesture in case it does not return to the game.
The reactions from players have been mixed. Some fans have criticized Epic for what they consider a double standard, recalling that other characters and elements with controversial pasts have remained in the game. On the other hand, there are those who defend the company’s decision, arguing that the gesture could lead to misunderstandings and offend the community.
This is not the first time that Fortnite has faced a similar situation. In 2020, the game removed a character whose design evoked the SS, suggesting Epic Games’ continued approach to carefully manage content related to National Socialism. Despite the controversy, the company has kept the door open for the possible return of the gesture in the future.
John Cena has established himself as one of the best choices for the role of Peacemaker in the DC cinematic universe, a character that has undergone a remarkable transformation from being a low-profile hero to becoming an iconic figure. James Gunn, the creator of the series, initially envisioned former wrestler Dave Bautista for the role; however, Bautista had to decline the offer due to commitments with other film projects that offered him better financial conditions. Batista was not available for the role, and Gunn found a perfect alternative in Cena after his performance in the movie […]
John Cena has established himself as one of the best choices for the role of Peacemaker in the DC cinematic universe, a character that has undergone a remarkable transformation from being a low-profile hero to becoming an iconic figure. James Gunn, the creator of the series, initially envisioned former wrestler Dave Bautista for the role; however, Bautista had to decline the offer due to commitments with other film projects that offered him better financial conditions.
Batista was not available for the bomb
Gunn found in Cena a perfect alternative after his performance in the movie Trainwreck, where he showcased an impressive sense of humor that led him to be considered for the role. “I have always been a fan of John, especially since Trainwreck. I thought he was incredibly funny,” Gunn commented. Since then, the relationship between the two has flourished, resulting in multiple collaborations, including two seasons of Peacemaker and The Suicide Squad.
The Peacemaker arc has resonated with the audience, leading him to make cameos in other DC projects, including Superman. Cena has proven to be a versatile actor, effectively balancing violence and comedy, thus attracting both comic book fans and new viewers. His ability to embody the character’s quirks and humor has been recognized and celebrated.
Currently, the second season of Peacemaker is available on HBO Max, with new episodes premiering weekly. Fans of the series can expect more content from the DC universe in the future, as multiple projects are in development. The story of how Cena landed the role of Peacemaker is a reminder of how creative decisions can shape new stars in the entertainment industry.
Two new Batman movies are on the way: The Batman 2, starring Robert Pattinson, is scheduled for 2027, while The Brave and the Bold from the new DC Universe (DCU) has not yet begun production. With these announcements, the discussion about the character’s continuity and his representation in film has resurfaced among fans. Batman vs. James Gunn Recent comments from James Gunn, the creative director of DCU, have sparked a debate about whether Pattinson should become the only Batman of the DCU or remain within the so-called Reevesverse. Despite claims of […]
James Gunn’s recent comments, the creative director of DCU, have sparked a debate about whether Pattinson should become the only Batman of the DCU or remain within the so-called Reevesverse. Despite Gunn’s claims about the canonical separation of both versions, some fans believe that having a new Batman could create divisions in the DC fanbase.
In a recent Reddit thread, a user argued that Pattinson should remain in the Elseworlds universe, suggesting that his dark tone does not fit with the lighter approach that the DCU seems to be taking, especially following season 2 of Peacemaker. Another comment stated that incorporating Pattinson into the DCU would mean sacrificing Matt Reeves’ unique vision for the character, something that could be unappealing for both the director and consumers.
However, this opinion is not universal. Many fans have expressed support for Pattinson to continue as Batman, highlighting that his portrayal has been well received and that introducing a new actor could lead to public dissatisfaction. Additionally, there are those who simply wish to avoid the inevitable fandom war that would arise from comparing the two versions of the hero.
For now, while these projects are being confirmed, the DC universe is expected to continue expanding. The next DC movie is Supergirl, which will be released in 2026, while fans’ eyes remain on the future of their favorite heroes.
In cinema and television, some of the less famous superheroes from comics have managed to succeed. Iron Man was not among Marvel’s favorites when he took the movies by storm. Not to mention The Guardians of the Galaxy. There are exceptions, like Batman or Spider-Man, but the new wave of superheroes seems to have found more fertile ground in those superheroes who are not already endorsed by the general public. A good example is Peacemaker. The origins of the character Peacemaker are known to the public for being the character that inspired The Comedian from Watchmen of […]
In cinema and television, some of the less famous superheroes from comics have managed to succeed. Iron Man was not among Marvel’s favorites when he took the movies by storm. Not to mention the Guardians of the Galaxy. There are exceptions, like Batman or Spider-Man, but the new wave of superheroes seems to have found more fertile ground in those superheroes who are not already endorsed by the general public. A good example is The Peacemaker.
The origins of the character
The Peacemaker is known to the public as the character that inspired The Comedian from Alan Moore’s Watchmen. That is to say, he was not a well-known character at all. He was vaguely known by those familiar with Moore’s work, but very few people had a direct and close relationship with the character himself.
The character, in fact, did not become part of the DC universe until relatively recently. It would not be until the event Crisis on Infinite Earths in 1988 that he would officially become part of the DC universe, because until then the idea was for the Watchmen characters to replace them in DC. But with the not-so-friendly breakup between Moore and DC, the American company decided to take the Charlton characters, the company that originally inspired the Watchmen characters, and officially integrate them into the DC universe.
Since then, they have been characters that have rarely had weight within the DC universe. And Peacemaker in particular has been a figure with very little weight. He died in a minor event, The Janus Directive, returned to life years later as a mentor to Blue Beetle, and ended up being part of the lineup of the seventh incarnation of the Suicide Squad. This is how he appeared in the group’s movie, and during the pandemic, James Gunn decided to continue his series with an 8-episode show that was a complete success that caught everyone by surprise.
John Cena, the star of the series
The first season of the series introduces us to Peacemaker, who is forced to join A.R.G.U.S, a special operations squad that seeks to identify and eliminate parasitic creatures in the form of butterflies that hijack human bodies. This will lead him to a series of dramatic missions, filled with comedy, where he will have to face his worst enemy: his own past and the disconnection from his present. Learning that it’s not just about saving people, but also about how it’s done.
Although the series works due to Gunn’s wonderful scripts, another reason it has resonated well with the audience is the one that might be least expected at first glance. And it’s that John Cena does a spectacular job as Peacemaker.
In fairness, Cena is not a very good actor. He is too stiff, his range is not very broad, and he always ends up playing himself. This is true in WWE and not very different in Hollywood. But in The Peacemaker, he knows how to bring to life a character that is completely disconnected from the present because he is, in essence, a person with a completely military mindset who is unaware that he is a bit pathetic. Or to be fair, quite pathetic.
That’s where Cena shines as an actor. His range is limited, but he knows how to play with it as Peacemaker. He has a comedic knack, especially knowing how to be the butt of the joke, which adds depth to the character, and he has no problem showing vulnerability, even if he doesn’t have the depth of other more gifted actors, like Dave Bautista for example, without straying from wrestlers turned actors. And that makes a character like Peacemaker fit him like a glove: it feels tailor-made for him because, in many ways, it’s a continuation of what he has been doing his whole life in WWE: being a good soldier. Only now, with a character that has many more nuances than that.
A second season that we can enjoy now
With the premiere of the second season, we can expect many things, although nothing concrete. Gunn and Cena have remained secretive about the character and the future of the series, so we don’t have anything particularly relevant about it. However, we do know one thing: the character will continue to evolve.
If there is one thing that characterized the first season, it was the change of Peacemaker throughout it. Whatever threat he faces in this second season, what is to be expected is that we continue to see how he keeps changing and evolving as a person. Even if he is still going to be a jerk who, upon seeing Aquaman, brings up how true it is that he romantically likes fish. Something that no one confirms or denies.
Premiering today, August 21, on HBO Max, there is no scenario where the series could disappoint its fans. It’s Peacemaker, it’s John Cena, and it’s James Gunn. Following the story of the recent Superman, we can expect to see the future of the DCU here, and just for that, it’s worth watching. But even if it weren’t, after the first season, there are very few reasons not to continue watching this series.

Cena not only received positive reviews for his outfit, which faithfully reflected the character’s style, but also captured the attention of the fans present.
The Peacemakers of Comic-Con
The panel featured the participation of the showrunner and co-chairman of DC Studios, James Gunn, who has been at the forefront of several key initiatives to revitalize the DC universe. Alongside Cena, his co-stars Frank Grillo, Jennifer Holland, Freddie Stroma, and Steve Agee were also present, sharing anecdotes and providing details about what viewers can expect from the upcoming season of Peacemaker, which will be available on HBO Max.
The series, which has become a vital component within the DC Comics canon, has received praise from both critics and audiences for its blend of action and humor, as well as its unique approach to superhero storytelling. The interaction between Cena and Gunn during the panel was particularly noteworthy, as both expressed their excitement for the development of the series and their commitment to providing quality content to fans.
With the growing relevance of Peacemaker within the DC cinematic universe, the anticipation for its second season is palpable. Meanwhile, rumors about possible appearances of other iconic characters in the series continue to circulate, adding an air of expectation to the future of the project. Undoubtedly, Cena’s performance and Gunn’s creative leadership indicate that there is much more to come in this ambitious franchise.
Amazon Prime Video is experiencing an interesting change in its catalog by cultivating a new genre of movies that are light on plot but rich in action.

Amazon Prime Video is experiencing an interesting change in its catalog by cultivating a new genre of movies that are light on plot but rich in action. These easily consumable productions have often been labeled as fun but forgettable. However, in recent months, some of them have transitioned from being mere entertainments to surprising works, such as the thriller Deep Cover, which has stood out for its narrative intelligence.
To enjoy with a slush and disconnect
The latest addition to this trend is Heads of State, which has just been added to the platform’s catalog, an action comedy starring John Cena and Idris Elba, that addresses power dynamics and politics in a humorous context. Although the film has issues with its writing and character development, Ilya Naishuller’s direction infuses explosive energy into the action sequences, with stylized cinematography and fight choreography that stands out compared to the political scenes that are less engaging.
The film introduces Cena as Will Derringer, a charismatic character with a cinematic background similar to that of Marvel action heroes, in contrast to Elba, who plays Sam Clarke, a former British soldier now Prime Minister. Their dynamic as a buddy action duo is a strong point; however, the moments when they are not on screen, the film loses strength: the political scenes are often boring and the plot twists predictable.
Despite the limitations in writing, the chemistry between Cena, Elba, and Priyanka Chopra Jonas, who joins the cast as Noel Bisset, adds value to the film. In the end, Heads of State does not seek to provide a deep discussion on foreign policy, but rather focuses on delivering stylized action and moments of comedy, and in that sense, it more than delivers.

With sixty-three thousand attendees over its two days, it is a celebration of wrestling and its history that many people did not want to miss. And we also want to dedicate a small space to it.

This weekend Wrestlemania 41 took place. Being a two-night event, Wrestlemania remains one of the biggest wrestling events in the world, alongside AEW’s All In and NJPW’s Wrestle Kingdom. With sixty-three thousand attendees over its two days, it is a celebration of wrestling and its history that many people did not want to miss. And we also want to dedicate a small space to it.
Because Wrestlemania is legendary. And what happens here always holds a special place in the world of wrestling. That’s why we are going to talk about the five biggest moments of this forty-first edition of the event. One that has had its ups and downs, without a doubt, but that fans will recognize has been tremendously special due to some of the title changes and the special appearances that no one expected.
Yeet to the heavyweight
Gunther has been the undisputed heavyweight champion for months. No one has been able to overshadow him, and for very good reasons. His blend of a tremendously powerful style with precisely calculated movements in the ring makes him practically unbeatable. That is, until he encountered his unexpected match in one of the former strongmen of the Tribal Chief.
Jey Uso managed to defeat Gunther after just over fifteen minutes of fighting by submission, becoming the second person to defeat the now former champion in this way. The first was Ilja Dragunov, which places Jey Uso in a more than notable position for his new reign. Considering how high Gunther has set the bar, he will have to work hard to maintain it.
Tiffany Stratton retains her crown
Tiffany Stratton arrived at Wrestlemania with a duty: to keep the WWE Women’s Championship belt. And it wasn’t going to be easy. In front of her was Charlotte Flair, one of the most decorated champions in the history of the company, who may have gone overboard with her on the way to this match. Something that has been noticeable in the ring.
After almost twenty minutes of fighting and with Stratton losing a tooth along the way, she managed to defeat the daughter of the legendary Ric Flair in a titanic duel where she has established herself as one of the strong women in the company. How long will it last? We don’t know. There are great competitors who will undoubtedly go after her title, but after a victory like this at Wrestlemania, it is undeniable that Tiffany Stratton’s value has skyrocketed.
The least expected heel turn
In the triple threat between Seth Rollins, CM Punk, and Roman Reigns, anything could happen, but let’s be honest: we all expected that the one who would lose would be Seth Rollins. Pinning Punk or Reigns? That’s not going to happen, right? Well. Unless Paul Heyman decides to turn his back on CM Punk and ally with Rollins, securing him a victory in a match lasting just over thirty minutes.
The end of the first night was intense, unexpected, and full of emotions. It wasn’t the best match of the day, nor can it be said that it was a great match, but at least we can state without a doubt that it created an interesting situation that could take us to many different places. That heel turn by Seth Rollins and Heyman teaming up with him, turning their backs on both Reigns and Punk, is something we didn’t see coming. And we are eager to see what consequences it has.
Iyo Sky does it again
The women’s world title has revolved around the conflict between Rhea Ripley and Bianca Belair. These two women have only had eyes for each other and the possibility of tearing each other apart at the slightest opportunity. Which, without a doubt, has been a mistake. Because the fight was not just between them, but it had a third leg to the stool: Iyo Sky, the champion before and after the fight began.
Achieving a great victory at Wrestlemania, she continues to show that the women’s division in WWE remains the most interesting part of WWE today. And that Iyo Sky continues to be one of its greatest assets. Something we never doubted for a second, but this Wrestlemania has confirmed it once again.
The seventeenth
John Cena against Cody Rhodes was supposed to be a classic. Unfortunately, it won’t be. As a match, it hasn’t been what we expected, and it hasn’t helped that the build-up to it hasn’t been the best. Also, the intervention of a Travis Scott, who should have been The Rock, could have made things much more interesting for the future. But let’s be honest. John Cena with his seventeenth world title in the last year of his career feels right.
We would have preferred it to be different. Better. That doesn’t change the fact that it is what it should be. John Cena is a legendary wrestler, very beloved by a large part of the audience, and it feels right that he is the new world champion. Quien consiga vencerle y retirarle, será un héroe y conseguirá un enorme push. Will they know how to capitalize on this in WWE? That remains to be seen. What is certain is that seeing John Cena as champion again feels good. And it’s because John Cena is the eternal champion of the company for a good reason: he is liked a lot.
