James Gunn posted a photo of himself on Instagram with the legendary WWE star John Cena in the background. During an interview James explained how this series is closely linked to him and how he wanted to make this series especially for children addressing the problem of bullying in the children these days. James mentioned that this show is inspired by his son. He said, “I want to do something; I would like my son Max to see.” He continues by saying “He was bullied; quite a bit. When he went through middle school.” He wants the victims of bullying to feel that they also have a hero. He wants his son, Max, to see someone on screen just like him so that he can relate with what he is watching on the screen. But this is not just a children’s show as added by Gunn “I want to do something that appeals not only to kids but everybody.” Further in his interview he mentioned John Cena by saying, “I’ve never seen John Cena do anything like this. He’s always been a good guy character and he has come up with some very creative ways to get kids involved in his cause.”
