We recently spoke with Chukwudi Iwuji on the Popternative show about one of the hottest series right now. We’re of course talking about Peacemaker on HBO Max, where Iwuji portrays Murn.

Peacemaker is the first original DC series to have a series premiere on HBO Max and is a huge, groundbreaking show for the streamer. It’s also a really special project for John Cena, the show being a spinoff about the character he played in James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad – a compellingly vainglorious man who believes in peace at any cost, no matter how many people he has to kill to get it. He’s also a co-executive producer on the series.

In addition to Iwuji and Cena, the series stars Danielle Brooks (Orange is the New Black), Robert Patrick (Terminator 2: Judgement Day), Steve Agee (The Suicide Squad), Christopher Heyerdahl (Chapelwaite), Jennifer Holland (The Suicide Squad), Freddie and Stroma (Bridgerton)
