He would kill as many people as he need in order to maintain peace and tranquility in the society. And just in case the chemicals in his cerebral system get mixed up with the Deadpool mercenary’s (Ryan Reynolds) favorite gin, he might as well do things unimaginable. Yes, we are indeed talking about the fan-favorite anti-hero, John Cena’s Peacemaker.

Well, if you are an ardent Peacemaker fan, you must be aware of what we are hinting at. Airing on HBO Max since January 2022, the series has proved to be a promising adventure for viewers. Not only the tribulations of the jingoistic killer, Christopher Smith appealing to the audience, but the superhero cameos are also equally entertaining. And one of the bests fans may have witnessed was when John Cena’s titular hero met with Ryan Reynolds’… well, not the superhero, but infamous aviation gin.

Back when Ryan Reynolds applauded a special cameo alongside Peacemaker

Apparently, at the very onset of the year and the series, The Adam Project actor appealed to fans to watch more of the series as it has a special guest cameo from Deadpool. Later on, director James Gunn also confirmed the appearance. What appearance do you ask? Well, it was nothing else than the Reynolds’ Aviation Gin bottle that was visible on the counter in Peacemaker’s trailer. And as soon as the Canadian actor noticed it, he hilariously called out the party in concern and even got involved in a fun banter with producer James Gunn.

Replying to Reynolds, Gunn tweeted, “I just checked with props, and that is indeed Aviation Gin,” before retweeting, “Thanks for taking a ride on the Peace Train” to Reynolds. And this exchange of funny quips between the two almost prompted fans to sign a petition for a Deadpool cameo in the sarcastic series.
