The teaser starts off with  Amanda Waller’s team sitting at a cafe as Peacemaker whose real name is Christopher Schmidt arrives. As he turns up at the table, the team that includes cast members Steve Agee, Danielle Brooks, Jennifer Holland and Chukwudi Iwuji, make fun of the hero’s outfit, with Agee (who plays John Economos) asking, "Did this dipshit really show up in full cosplay mode?." Fans also get a glimpse of Peacemaker's sidekick, that is pet eagle. Take a look at the teaser below-

Meanwhile, James Gunn will continue his run with DC and will write all the eight episodes of the Peacemaker TV series and will direct five episodes. John Cena, who reprises his role as Peacemaker will also serve as an executive producer along with Peter Safran. The post-credit scene of The Suicide Squad also gave the audience a glimpse of the upcoming series. Peacemaker who was injured by a bullet shot by Bloodsport was shown to be admitted to a hospital in the post-credit scene.

Gunn earlier spoke to Variety about the upcoming series and said, "Peacemaker is an opportunity to delve into current world issues through the lens of this superhero-supervillain-and world’s biggest douchebag." He added, "I’m excited to expand The Suicide Squad and bring this character from the DC film universe to the full breadth of a series. And of course, to be able to work again with John, Peter, and my friends at Warner Bros. is the icing on the cake."
