Gunn and Cena appeared alongside Margot Robbie onJimmy Kimmel Live! which Cena donned his Peacekeeper costume. Gunn joked that he couldn’t ask Cena to return the costume. Read Gunn’s full quote below:

By the way, John stole this outfit. I just want to tell everyone that we asked him. Because after turning The suicide squad, we shot the Peacemaker TV series, and I kept telling her to stop taking the outfit. I know it doesn’t sound that expensive, but these costumes cost tens of thousands of dollars to put together. And we’re hoping for a season 2, and now HBO isn’t going to give it to us because we’re over budget.

Cena added, “I’ve learned that if you just keep the costume on, they won’t ask you for it.” This isn’t the first time Cena has shown his love for his Peacekeeper costume. The former WWE star did a number of promotional interviews in his Peacekeeper costume, which Gunn swore he didn’t ask Cena to do. The director also revealed earlier this year that Cena even took his costume home because he wanted to be able to take a nap in it.
