Christopher "Chris" Smith, also known as the Peacemaker, is a violent vigilante who believes in achieving peace at any cost no matter how many people he has to kill for it in the process. He was also a member of the second Task Force X strike team sent on a mission to Corto Maltese. While he struck up a rapport with the team, he eventually turned on them to complete their intended mission when they learned it was all a cover-up for the U.S. government's mistake. In the attempt to complete the mission, Smith murdered team leader Rick Flag, and was sent into a coma by teammate and rival Bloodsport.
Smith was sent to hospital to recover, where John Economos and Emilia Harcourt awaited his awakening, preparing to have him join a smaller team to participate in Project Butterfly, with his friend Vigilante also joining the team. During the course of the mission, Peacemaker also came into conflict with his abusive father, and was forced to reflect on his world views and past traumas, culminating in Smith defeating and killing his own father. In the aftermath, Smith was freed from Amanda Waller's control after Leota Adebayo publicly leaked Waller's corrupt secrets, and Smith started taking small steps towards becoming a better person, but became haunted by hallucinations of his father.
Christopher Smith was born in 1981[1] to Auggie Smith, a powerful and cunning small-town racist whose views deeply scarred his son. Auggie forced Christopher through training to become a killer, as in one occasion he forced his son to kill a man by stabbing him.
He grew up alongside with his older brother Keith Smith, as the two shared the love for music.[2] At one point, Keith told his younger brother about the fake concept of "butt babies," something Christopher believed himself to be until he was 14 years old.[3] While Smith was going through high school, his classmates called him "Chimp-Arm".[4] One day, Christopher and Keith went to fish, where they took a picture.[5]
Peacemaker is an American superhero television series created by James Gunn for the streaming service HBO Max (later renamed Max), based on the DC Comics character of the same name. The first season is the only DC Extended Universe (DCEU) television series and a spin-off from the 2021 film The Suicide Squad. Set after the events of the film, it further explores jingoistic mercenary Christopher Smith / Peacemaker. It was produced by the Safran Company and Troll Court Entertainment in association with Warner Bros. Television and with Gunn as showrunner. The second season is produced by DC Studios and set in the DC Universe (DCU), a "soft reboot" of the DCEU.
John Cena stars as the title character, reprising his role from The Suicide Squad, with Danielle Brooks, Freddie Stroma, Chukwudi Iwuji, Jennifer Holland, Steve Agee, and Robert Patrick also starring. Gunn conceived Peacemaker after noting Cena's strength as a dramatic actor while filming The Suicide Squad and wrote the first season while finishing the film. HBO Max ordered it straight-to-series in September 2020. Filming took place in Vancouver, Canada, from January to July 2021, with Gunn directing five episodes. He chose to use hair metal songs for the series' soundtrack, including "Do Ya Wanna Taste It" by Wig Wam for the opening titles dance sequence. A second season was ordered in February 2022, with Gunn again writing all episodes. The season was integrated with the DCU after Gunn was named co-CEO of DC Studios. Filming took place at Trilith Studios in Atlanta, Georgia, from April to November 2024.
Peacemaker premiered on HBO Max on January 13, 2022, with its first three episodes. The other five episodes of the first season were released weekly until February 17. Viewership increased with each episode and the season received positive reviews. The second season will premiere on Max in August 2025. The series has been nominated for several awards, including a Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Award. A spin-off series, Waller, is in development as part of the DCU.
