Warner Bros. :

Warner Bros. Games and NetherRealm Studios today released a new trailer featuring actor John Cena discussing his role as the DC Super Hero Peacemaker, the latest downloadable content (DLC) guest fighter in Mortal Kombat 1. Based on the character he originated in The Suicide Squad film and continued in his own series Peacemaker on Max, John Cena lends his voice and likeness to the new playable character who brings a formidable moveset to Mortal Kombat 1, incorporating Peacemaker’s expert gunslinging skills, signature helmet abilities, and loyal bald eagle sidekick, Eagly, all complemented by his legendary dance moves and brash humor. Peacemaker, also known as Christopher Smith, is ready to challenge Liu Kang’s New Era of peace and will take on anyone and everyone who gets in his way.

 
Peacemaker is available now in Mortal Kombat 1 as part of the early access period for Kombat Pack owners, followed by wide availability on March 6.
