With 2023 nearing its end, the production houses are announcing or releasing trailers for upcoming anime projects of 2024. The most recent show to fall under this trend is Suicide Squad Isekai. The DC fandom was shocked to hear such an announcement that their favorite supervillains would come together in an anime. People are familiar with the Suicide Squad concept due to the movie franchise, but an anime is completely new.
The second trailer of the anime was released a few hours ago, and people are already loving it and getting hyped for 2024. One of the claims that the fans have been making is that John Cena reprise his role as the Peacemaker. Everybody loved him as the iconic character, and as a result, they want him to dub the English voice.
Suicide Squad Isekai Is Set To Release in 2024
One of the interesting announcements of the year has been made by DC Comics. 2024 will feature an anime series of the supervillains from the DC Comics. The Suicide Squad movie franchise will be coming back in an isekai. Harley Quinn, The Joker, Clayface, King Shark, Deadshot, Peacemaker, etc., will be teaming up to save the world.

Warner Bros. Japan will produce the anime, and WIT Studios will handle the animation production. Eri Osada is the director of anime. People can hardly contain their joy with such exciting news. But it is human nature to always want for more. After the Suicide Squad Isekai trailer was released, the fans have been demanding the former WWE wrestler to voice Peacemaker.
John Cena was cast as the Peacemaker in The Suicide Squad and a television series, Peacemaker. He was praised by the critics and the fans for his performance. As a result, when the fans got to see Peacemaker in the trailer, everyone wanted him to reprise his role. The fans have been flooding social media demanding John Cena be cast as the iconic villain.
Fans Want John Cena as the Peacemaker
John Cena was the perfect embodiment of Peacemaker with his sense of Justice and a bit of comic relief. Recently, the Scott Pilgrim vs. the World cast reprised their role in the Scott Pilgrim Takes Off anime, so the fans have found one incident to back their cause.
A few hours after the trailer was released, one fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “They better dub this and have John Cena voice Peacemaker.”

The next one wrote that John Cena would be the best choice for giving voice to Peacemaker since he had played the character before.
John Cena would be amazing if he voices anime peacemaker

The comments kept on coming, with one claiming that if John Cena is picked as the English voice of Peacemaker, then they will binge-watch the anime.
If Cena is picked as the dub of peacemaker… I’m binging

Both the anime fans and the comic fans are excited about the announcement of the Suicide Squad Isekai. The anime is yet to have an official release date, but it does not stop the fans from claiming John Cena to take up the role of Peacemaker. For the moment, the fans can only hope that the executives take a look at their demand. Until further announcements, nothing is confirmed.
