Outside of director James Gunn, few predicted that Peacemaker would be the breakout character from The Suicide Squad. And yet the Peacemaker series has become popular with the fans and critically acclaimed. Additionally, HBO Max has already committed to a second season of the show. It might be a while before Gunn can get back to this series, since he’s currently filming Guardians if the Galaxy Vol. 3 for Marvel. Regardless, Gunn took the time to drop a nearly 10-minute Peacemaker season 1 gag reel as a gift for the show’s fans.
In the clips posted below, John Cena’s title character still gets most of the screen time. It also appears that Cena had some room to improvise his lines as Christopher Smith/Peacemaker. Sometimes, the rest of the cast can’t help breaking character and laughing at Cena’s jokes.

Danielle Brooks, Freddie Stroma, Chukwudi Iwuji, Jennifer Holland, Steve Agee, and even Robert Patrick get the spotlight in silly moments of their own. However, there is a notable exclusion. Gunn previously mentioned that one the season finale guest stars had a lot of improvised jokes. But those clips are clearly absent from this video.
