James Gunn has confirmed that the Peacemaker TV series will indeed have post-credit scenes – and quite a lot of them to boot.

The upcoming HBO Max The Suicide Squad spin-off will see John Cena reprise his role as Christopher Smith (aka Peacemaker) as he continues his mission for peace, whatever the cost.

Gunn – who has directed five episodes and written all eight entries in the series – has now revealed that each episode will have an extra scene, which will act as "something special" for fans.

"It's my way to give you guys a little something special for watching the credits of our hardworking crew," he went on to say.

What to Read Next

It comes after the director confirmed that the next trailer will be arriving on New Year's Day (January 1), telling fans to "get your game faces ready".
