Peacemaker’s Los Angeles Premiere Cancelled Due to COVID-19 Omicron Rise

The rise of the Omicron variant of COVID-19 has caused Peacemaker to cancel its big LA premiere. Deadline reports that HBO Max has cancelled the red carpet premiere event that was scheduled for January 8th due to the variant’s surge. The cancellation was decided on before the holidays and was done out of caution.

The show will still premiere its first three episodes on January 13th on HBO Max.

Peacemaker is written and directed by James Gunn and stars John Cena as Peacemaker, the character he played in The Suicide Squad, and explores his origin as well as his next actions following the conclusion of the film.
