Director James Gunn has reacted to a clip of the Peacemaker introductory dance sequence being recreated for a high school talent show. Starring John Cena as the titular hero/antihero, the series serves as a direct spinoff from Gunn’s The Suicide Squad and follows the brutal mercenary as he is enlisted by Amanda Waller’s A.R.G.U.S. to join another black ops squad. They are tasked with confronting an extraterrestrial threat in the form of parasitic butterfly-like creatures who have begun possessing human bodies.

Applauded for its humor, and noted for its hair metal soundtrack, Gunn set the tone for his series with an exhilarating, choreographed introductory dance sequence set to Wig Wam’s “Do You Wanna Taste It?” Recently Gunn was tagged in a tweet showing the sequence being recreated for a high-school talent show, to which he replied “No kidding, we shot the actual opening in a school auditorium not so different from that.” Check out the interaction below:

With Peacemaker already renewed for a season 2, viewers will be keen to see what happens with the intro dance sequence once new episodes begin airing. Given that some of the characters featured in the original sequence, such as Annie Chang’s Detective Sophie Song and Robert Patrick’s Auggie Smith, are now dead, it is likely the sequence will be re-choreographed and re-filmed. It’s yet to be announced when Peacemaker season 2 will premiere, so it may be some time before audiences see any more of John Cena’s dance moves.
