John Cena bundles up in a brown jacket while filming his Suicide Squad spinoff series Peacemaker in Vancouver
He's set to make his debut as part of The Suicide Squad when the James Gunn–directed sequel premieres later this year.
But John Cena was already looking past it to his spin-off series Peacemaker while on set on Tuesday.
The 43-year-old professional wrestler–turned–actor had travel north to film the series in Vancouver, Canada, a popular location for film and television projects.

Cena was dressed in relaxed yet rugged clothing, including a blue plaid flannel shirt and dark jeans to complement it.
He kept warm with a brown jacket that matched a pair of brown loafers.
The Blockers star likely had to undergo a two-week quarantine before arriving on set earlier this month, as other productions have done amid the pandemic, and he wore a pale blue respirator-style mask to help slow the spread of the novel coronavirus.

Low key: Cena was dressed casually in a brown coat, a blue flannel shirt and dark jeans. He was spotted on set with director James Gunn, who wrote all eight episodes of the series
Also spotted on the set was the director James Gunn, who's best known for helming the Guardians Of The Galaxy series for Disney and Marvel.
Gunn signed on to film the sequel to 2016's critically reviled Suicide Squad, which will be confusingly titled The Suicide Squad.
The upcoming dark superhero film will see the return of Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, along with Joel Kinnaman as and Rick Flag and Jai Courtney as Captain Boomerang.
In place of previous stars Will Smith and Jared Leto will be Idris Elba as Bloodsport, Saturday Night Live star Pete Davidson as Blackguard, and Peter Capaldi as Thinker.
Will Smith, who played Deadshot in the first film, was originally to be replaced by Elba in the same role, but his character was later changed to Bloodsport.

Cena previously described his character Peacemaker as a 'douchey Captain America,' and Gunn has said he could fit in with the vibe of a 1970s superhero series like Wonder Woman.
The series will explore the origins of the ruthless killer, and the seemingly violent series will have all eight episodes written by Gunn, who will also direct several.
Filming began earlier this month in Toronto, before heading west to Vancouver.
Cena's next major film appearance will be his debut in the Fast And Furious franchise with F9, which will be released on May 28, 2021.
