James Gunn's Peacemaker began production last month, and two more supporting players have now been added to the cast of The Suicide Squad spinoff.
Elizabeth Faith Ludlow (The Walking Dead, Another Life) and Rizwan Manji (Goliath, Minority Report) have joined the project as recurring characters named Keeya and Jamil, though no other details on their roles were provided.
As it It turns out, Ludlow actually worked with Gunn previously on Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, but he didn't recognize her when she auditioned due to the alien makeup she wore for the Marvel sequel.
In addition to John Cena as the title character, Peacemaker stars Danielle Brooks, Steve Agee, Robert Patrick, Jennifer Holland, Chris Conrad, Chukwudi Iwuji, Lochlyn Munro, Annie Chang and Christopher Heyerdahl.
Specific plot details are still under wraps, but we do know that the series is expected to explore the origins of Peacemaker, a man who believes in peace at any cost, no matter how many people he has to kill to get it.
Gunn is writing and directing the show, which was ordered to series last September. Cena's titular antihero will make his debut in The Suicide Squad, which is set to debut simultaneously in theaters and on HBO Max this August.
