Peacemaker Featurette Spotlights Project Butterfly’s Leader Murn

January 6, 2022

HBO Max has dropped a brand new character featurette for James Gunn’s newest superhero project Peacemaker, which serves as a spin-off to last year’s The Suicide Squad. The series is slated to make its debut next week on January 13.

The featurette, which you can check out below, turns the spotlight to Chukwudi Iwuji’s Clemson Murn, the leader of Project Butterfly who recruits John Cena’s Peacemaker to kill bad people for the government. The video highlights Murn’s leadership style as he tries his best to keep the team’s focus on the missions. It also teases his dark past as a mercenary.

Beyond the WWE legend in the lead role, the Peacemaker series will also star Steve Agee, Danielle Brooks, Robert Patrick, Jennifer Holland, Chukwudi Iwuji, and Freddie Stroma. Like Cena, both Agee and Holland’s characters have also previously appeared in The Suicide Squad film.

Additional cast members include Lochlyn Munro (Riverdale), Annie Chang (Shades of Blue), Christoper Heyerdahl (Hell on Wheels, Supernatural), Elizabeth Faith Ludlow (The Walking Dead), Rizwan Manji (Goliath), Nhut Le (The Kroll Show) as DC hero Judomaster, Aison Araya (Arrow) as Amber, and Lenny Jacobson (Nurse Jackie) as Evan.

Based on the characters from DC, the eight-episode first season of Peacemaker is written and created by James Gunn, who directed multiple episodes. Executive producers are Gunn, Cena, Peter Safran, and Matt Miller. It is being produced by Troll Court Entertainment and The Safran Company in association with Warner Bros. Television.
