Part of John Cena‘s commitment to Peacemaker was learning how to get tased.
DCâ€s Peacemaker recently wrapped up its second season on HBO Max. One of the episodes features Freddie Stromaâ€s Vigilante tackling Cenaâ€s Christopher Smith character before knocking him unconscious with a taser.
As showrunner James Gunn explained during Peacemaker: The Official Podcast, John Cena specifically asked what kind of reaction they wanted from him for the scene in which Chris Smith gets tasered by Vigilante.
“We have the moment, itâ€s a great moment where earlier, Freddie [Stroma]â€s character, Vigilante, said, ‘Why donâ€t you just tackle him?†and says heâ€s an idiot for not doing it. And then in this scene, they try to stop Christopher Smith from leaving, and Vigilante tackles him and tases him,†Gunn explained. “Effectively! Everyone screamed and Johnâ€s tased.
“I remember being on set, John was like, ‘What should I do exactly?†So we were looking up videos of people being tased so that he could act like someone that was tased. That was kinda what they looked like.â€
John Cena competed at WWEâ€s most recent premium live event, Crown Jewel, in Australia this past Saturday. The GOAT faced AJ Styles in a match that WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker described as a masterclass.
