John Cena says that James Gunn fully intended to kill Peacemaker at the end of The Suicide Squad, but the two had so much fun working together that Gunn decided to break his biggest rule.
"James didn’t have me in mind at first. And then he killed me in The Suicide Squad," Cena explained at Fan Expo Denver (via PopVerse). "And we had so much fun making that movie, he broke his rule of never bring back someone you killed. So, for someone to expect very little out of me and choose me last, and for me to make such an impression on such a brilliant creative mind that he breaks a cardinal rule that he has, and for us to go on to do good work together and develop a great friendship, man, that’s one hell of a day at the office."
