CM Punk Anticipates Future Collaboration with John Cena Under James Gunn’s Direction
During his conversation with Joe Deckelmeier from MovieWeb, CM Punk shared his belief that he and John Cena will work together again, although the timing and project remain uncertain. He acknowledged James Gunn’s significant role in shaping the DC Universe, noting that Cena is already involved through the hit show Peacemaker. Punk indicated that if Gunn envisions a character suitable for him, he would eagerly pursue the role.
Oh, I would be a fool to say I didn’t,
CM Punk began. “I think me and John are gonna work together again. I don’t know when, I don’t know where, I don’t know for whom. James Gunn is busy doing this whole DC thing, and it feels like John is a big part of that. Peacemaker is excellent.
So James Gunn is like a booker, right? Like, he’s gonna have a vision for certain characters and certain people. If I ever fit in one of those visions, man, I’ll do what I can to make sure I can secure the role. But to work with John in that capacity would kind of be a dream.

Same with Dave Bautista. I really want to work with him again, because we got stories to tell. There are stories out there that could probably use me, or him, or John, and I’d jump at the chance to work with either of those guys again,
CM Punk said.
As James Gunn continues expanding the DC Universe, CM Punk’s remarks highlight the potential for iconic wrestlers to cross over into major entertainment franchises. Fans can anticipate whether Punk’s hopes for collaboration with Cena and Bautista will materialize within upcoming DC projects.
