John Cena reprises his role as Christopher Smith (aka Peacemaker), the ex-Suicide squaddie who has now joined forces with a mysterious dark-ops team. This consists of his two handlers – Emilia Harcourt (Jennifer Holland) and John Economos (Steve Agee) – and Leota Adebayo (Danielle Brooks, Orange is the New Black), his partner in crimefighting and a foil to Peacemaker’s brutal yet dim-witted ways.
Then there’s Vigilante (Freddie Stoma), a man who can quickly heal from injuries, and, err…Eagly… the lead character’s unruly bald eagle sidekick.
Additionally, Terminator 2’s Robert Patrick stars as Peacemaker’s father, whose fraught relationship with his son will be explored further, while the superhero’s attitude of “peace…at any cost” is challenged when the assassin has a crisis of conscience.
