The Suicide Squad is hitting theatres next year and it's not the only DC project James Gunn has coming. The director is also helming a Peacemaker series for HBO Max starring John Cena. In fact, Gunn is currently in Vancouver, getting ready for production. The director took to Instagram today to share that he's out of quarantine, and he's not the only one. David Dastmalchian, who is playing Polka-Dot man in The Suicide Squad, also just arrived in Canada. While there has been no official word that Dastmalchian will be in the HBO Max series, we're willing to be that's why he's in Canada considering he posted at the same time as Gunn. While it could also mean that he's returning to play Abra Kadabra in the Arrowverse, we have a feeling this is about Peacemaker.
"Vancouver's one of my favorite cities & I've luckily been able to spend a lot of time up here the past few years. Thanks for always making me feel at home. Americans have a lot we could learn from our neighbors to the north. Their science-based, serious approach to Covid has produced much better results than... whatever it was our government did the past year. But the big debate rages on: @starbucks coffee or @timhortons? 🇺🇸 💙 🇨🇦," Dastmalchian wrote. You can check out his post below:
