Peacemaker: John Cena Sees Marvel/DC Chrome Crossover with Thor Coming
Unless you just arrived back from the International Space Station, we're assuming you've either seen the teaser for Marvel Studios' Taika Waititi-directed Thor: Love and Thunder or you've seen snippets/clips from it. And while it's safe to say that the entire preview made an impact, the scene of Natalie Portman wielding Thor's hammer as an end-teaser might just be the one moment that stood out among them all (and that's saying a lot). In fact, Portman's scene even caught the attention of John Cena aka Christopher Smith aka the DCU's Peacemaker, and if you've watched the James Gunn-created HBO Max series then you might have a clue on where this is going.
