John Cena's Peacemaker helmet required special adjustments, reveals director James Gunn

The upcoming Suicide Sqaud film will feature quite a few changes when compared with its predecessor. While it is unfortunate that the upcoming film will not see the return of Deadshot aka Will Smith, the film will feature some new characters and actors like Idris Elba, Sylvester Stallone, Peter Capaldi, and most prominently, John Cena. John Cena will appear as the character Peacemaker: a ruthless killer who believes in achieving peace at any cost.

The upcoming Suicide Squad will also see one other major change in a key role, which is of the director. Warner Bros signed on Guardians of The Galaxy director, James Gunn, for the upcoming film during his brief 'break-up' with Marvel Studios. The trailer for the upcoming film recently released and fans got to see exactly how their favourite anti-superhero characters are going to dress like. Speaking of costumes, John Cena's Peacemaker helmet is hard to miss and according to James Gunn, it wasn't easy for them to miss it either. 

On Monday afternoon, a VFX artist asked Gunn on Twitter if anything special needed to be done to get Peacemaker's look ready for the final cut because of the reflection of his helmet. Gunn took the opportunity to respond to the fan talking about how it did require some special adjustments since the whole thing was basically a "mirror ball". Take a look at the interaction below.
