John Cena has discussed the making of the opening dance sequence for Peacemaker season 2, and how 'super enthused' everyone was.
Speaking with Collider in support of his new talk series What Drives You, Cena was asked about the season 2 dance sequence. "When it became such a part of the show, I think everybody this time was just so excited, and I really think that's going to show." He went on to add, "I'm very happy with it. I want to say so much more, but I’ll just say I'm very happy with it. Everyone was super enthused and also understood how important it is this time around, and I really hope that shows. I know the show is great. In my mind, the opening number is great. I hope the world agrees."
One added benefit of the opening sequence being so popular, according to Cena, is how it gets the names of so many crew members in front of the audience. "It's just a nice way to introduce everybody and also give everybody credit. I tip my hat to James Gunn. It does take a village, and gosh, we got so many heroes behind the camera. They should get a tip of the cap, too. So, it's a great way to thank everybody for putting a whole lot of effort into making something good."
For those that may not remember the season 1 opening, here it is for you.
The returning cast will include John Cena as Christopher Smith/Peacemaker, Danielle Brooks as Leota Adebayo, Freddie Stroma as Adrian Chase/Vigilante, Jennifer Holland as Emilia Harcourt, and Steve Agee as John Economos. New additions include Sol Rodriguez as Sasha Bordeaux, and Tim Meadows as Langston Gleury.
Peacemaker season 2 is set to debut in the latter half of 2025.
