By James Gunn’s “Peacemaker” TV series scored as much, if not more, acclaim than his “The Suicide Squad” film. The episodic format with a bigger focus on both Cena’s character and the middle management surrounding him allowed much more fleshed out characters and soared even as other DC works at the time floundered.
One of the most talked about elements of it was the show’s opening credits – a full on dance number set to Wig Wam’s “Do Ya Wanna Taste It” and featuring the major cast. Shot in a school gymnasium, it became one of the signatures of the series and fitting in with the show’s oddness and humor.
So, when the show returns with its second season later this year, one of the most anticipated elements is the new opening sequence that comes with the new season with Gunn confirming the sequence is being revamped for the new run.
Cena himself won’t give away any details, but he tells Collider he thinks fans will appreciate the new intro:
“I will say, filming the dance number in Season 1, even though it was written in the script the whole way through, so I knew months out we were going to film it, you still kind of scratch your head, like, ‘Is this going to work?’
Then, when it became such a part of the show, I think everybody this time was just so excited, and I really think that’s going to show. I’m very happy with it. I want to say so much more, but I’ll just say I’m very happy with it. Everyone was super enthused and also understood how important it is this time around, and I really hope that shows. I know the show is great. In my mind, the opening number is great. I hope the world agrees.
It’s just a nice way to introduce everybody and also give everybody credit. I tip my hat to James Gunn. It does take a village, and gosh, we got so many heroes behind the camera. They should get a tip of the cap, too. So, it’s a great way to thank everybody for putting a whole lot of effort into making something good.”
No trailer has been released for the new run yet, only a brief few seconds of footage as part of an HBO & Max 2025 promo reel.
