All I knew of Cena pre-Suicide Squad was the prank phone call stuff and I knew he was a wrestler. I didn’t expect much from him as an actor, or, with the Peacemaker series.
Well, I’ve changed. I think he’s hilarious, has decent acting chops generally but he’s perfect as Peacemaker. I mean, he fucking shines as Peacemaker.
He is a gem. He’s also perfect combined with Gunn’s writing and dialogue/humor.
I absolutely loved him in Ricky Stanicky. That movie only worked because he was so fun. He's smart to stay within his range but his range is distinctly getting wider.

Edit: Came across this just now on r/mademesmile, and it totally made me smile. Cena is amazing for this: https://www.reddit.com/r/MadeMeSmile/s/Kel4YapRqg
