Welcome to random Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a random Wikipedia page every day.
The random article for Thursday, 9 June 2022 is Peacemaker (DC Extended Universe character).
Christopher "Chris" Smith, also known as The Peacemaker or simply Peacemaker, is a fictional antihero in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) media franchise, based on the Charlton / DC Comics character of the same name. Adapted for film by writer/director James Gunn, he is portrayed by John Cena. Smith operates as a vigilante who aims to achieve peace at any cost, which results in a 30-year prison sentence at Belle Reve Penitentiary. He is approached by the facility's warden and the director of A. R. G. U. S., Amanda Waller, to join a strike team composed of other inmates on an infiltration mission en route to the remote island of Corto Maltese. Upon turning on his teammates and being incapacitated during the mission, he is nursed back to health by A. R. G. U. S. and sent on another mission immediately afterwards, now being tasked with accompanying a group of alumni from A. R. G. U. S. to prevent a world-threatening epidemic known as "Project Butterfly".
As of 2022, the character is a central figure in the franchise, having appeared in two projects thus far: the feature film The Suicide Squad (2021), and the first season of the eponymous HBO Max streaming television series Peacemaker. The character will return for the latter's second season.
