WWE legend and 16-time World Champion John Cena is busy with the promotions of his new HBO Max show, Peacemaker. Recently, in a conversation with GQ, Cena talked about how things are on set with COVID-19 protocols in place.
“COVID protocols have certainly taken away a lot of the interactions that happen on a set, and connections with castmates can be difficult. But when you get someone like [Peacemaker director and creator] James Gunn, who allows you the freedom to improv and do these long takes, you kind of build those moments in. James does always get the material that he has scripted, but he also allows for the relationship-building of these giant improv takes that we’ll never use. A lot of times it’s probably just to establish a connection, get the crew to laugh so they’re not feeling isolated and away from us as it seems because it’s literally like, mask on, isolate from everyone, and here we go…Act! The idea is to extend that time a little bit more, let everyone enjoy it for a hot second—it allows us to bond for a little bit.” said John.
