James Gunn reacts to a group of university students in Bangladesh recreating the iconic glam rock opening dance sequence to Peacemaker.
James Gunn reacts to a group of students from Bangladesh recreating the opening dance sequence from Peacemaker. Previously best known for his work in the MCU with the two Guardians of the Galaxy films, Gunn is now also responsible for two popular projects with DC. While failing to make a big splash at the box office, Gunn's The Suicide Squad earned rave reviews from audiences and critics and introduced the character of Peacemaker (John Cena), who would go on to get his very own show of the same name on HBO Max.
Peacemaker sees Cena's character survive the events of The Suicide Squad and join a top-secret black-ops task force to uncover a widespread alien conspiracy. The show, which aired its finale last month, is beloved by fans and briefly held the spot as the most in-demand streaming series in the world back in January. Peacemaker features plenty of violence and laughs, but also boasts a unique soundtrack comprised of various hair metal (or glam metal) hits. "Do Ya Wanna Taste It?" by Wig Wam, now the most recognizable song from the show, plays during Peacemaker's opening credits sequence as Peacemaker and the other character perform a choreographed dance.
The Peacemaker intro dance has evidently proven popular with fans and one group of students from Bangladesh have caught Gunn's eye with their very own recreation of it. Gunn shared a video of the group, now identified as the FBS Dance Squad at the University of Dhaka, performing the opening dance sequence, writing "Man, this is incredible. #Peacemaker in Bangladesh."

The Peacemaker intro dance in the show features a handful of characters, but the recreation by the FBS Dance Squad takes that to a whole new level, featuring several dozen students all dancing in unison. The show's overwhelming popularity has led to the announcement of Peacemaker season 2, but it remains to be seen whether the show's iconic opening sequence will also be making a comeback. While a highlight of the show, a lot of the characters featured in the sequence didn't make it through season one alive, casting doubt that the same intro will be used for season two.
Considering how popular Peacemaker's dance intro is and how well-known Wig Wam's song has become, it would be surprising if Gunn scrapped the intro altogether for season 2 and came up with something different. It seems likely that season two will feature the same song and dance but with new characters in place of the ones who are no longer alive. While the future of Peacemaker's iconic opening sequence remains unclear, Gunn evidently has no shortage of backup dancers in Bangladesh if he ever needs somebody to fill in.
