By the time DC released the Black Adam in the theatres, the studio saw ample changes. As a result, Dwayne Johnson left DC for the time being and with his Black Adam run currently on the shelf. However, when DJ left, there were questions about John Cena‘s future, but it seems the Peacemaker star is still a part of the DC universe.
Recently, a post by James Gunn has made fans think that John Cena’s Peacemaker character will be a part of the new DC universe and Gunn’s vision for the studios.

James Gunn teases John Cena’s DC return after the departure of Dwayne Johnson
If there is a common key between MCU, DCEU, and WWE, then that is James Gunn. The 56-year-old director has worked with Batista in the MCU Guardians of the Galaxy and Cena in DC’s The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker series.
Recently, the new co-CEO of DC Studios replied to a tweet that stated Gunn working with two WWE superstars who are “incredible actors” too. Gunn replied, writing, “Yep. Two of the best actors (and human beings) I’ve worked with.”

‘The Animal’ and Gunn will have their final MCU film, i.e. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3 in theatres soon. Nevertheless, this post indicates Gunn and Cena have been talking about his DC return and Peacemaker as part of the 56-year-old’s new vision for DCU.
A few months prior, Gunn announced that The Rock’s Black Adam and Henry Cavill’s Superman will not be part of the new DCU. Moreover, Black Adam didn’t earn well at the box office as the studios expected it would after the heavy marketing of the film leading to them in an entire new direction.
After Cena’s successful and critically acclaimed role of Peacemaker in The Suicide Squad, the DCEU went with a solo HBO series of eight episodes. The fans loved the series and are waiting for season 2 ever since. It seems there are surely some talks about the same as Gunn agreed he loves working with Cena.

Gunn brought out the BEST in these two actors! (Especially Cena) They LOVE Gunn, and rightfully so to have his back and full support. https://t.co/J6L8nmHkwm

Will Peacemaker S2 be DCU? Or elseworld?

I have to ask, peacemaker season 2 is it in the works, can you not talk about it, has season two been “abandoned” and do you still have @JohnCena on board with it?

Will you still be making the 2nd season of Peacemaker? If so, when will that be out?

Is there any continuation to peace maker after the reboot? I love the series so much!

Someday the Batista, Cena and The Rock will be in one DC film!
Maybe one day we’ll get @JohnCena, @DaveBautista, and @TheRock in one @DCOfficial film by @JamesGunn. 👊

Shots were fired at Dwayne Johnson!
Really love how Cena and Bautista can actually portray a diverse array of roles, unlike Dwayne Johnson, who, quite frankly, is the same exact person in every movie. Not a bad actor, but also not great. I bet @JamesGunn would crush a Gears of War movie.
