While Jennifer Holland has hinted at her planned DCU debut in a few social media posts, the actress and wife of DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn has now confirmed she's begun work on Peacemaker season 2.
Holland made her DCEU debut as Emilia Harcourt in The Suicide Squad and later reprised the role in Peacemaker, Black Adam, and Shazam! Fury of the Gods. She quickly became a fan-favourite, stealing the show alongside John Cena in his anti-hero's spin-off TV series.
This makes Holland one of only a handful of DCEU actors to make the leap from that world to the DCU. Other Team Peacemaker members are expected to join her, including Danielle Brooks as Leota Adebayo, Freddie Stroma as Vigilante, and Steve Agee as John Economos.
So far, several actors Gunn previously worked with and Blue Beetle star Xolo Maridueña are the only ones not to be axed for DC Studios' reboot.
We're also pretty sure that's a new Peacemaker logo shared by Holland in the Instagram post below.
"I was excited to explore her in every way," the actress previously said of her role in the Max series. "James had a hard time fitting in the stories he wanted to for [The Suicide Squad] with the main cast because of how big the cast was, so there was just a blank page to go with Harcourt. The things about her that I loved so much are the things that make her incredibly complicated and flawed."
"She’s a well-rounded version of this tough-girl character that you might see in a lot of projects. James wrote a fleshed-out woman who is strong, tough, and cold—and has all kinds of issues that she’s working through."
"In addition to that, I can’t even tell you how excited I was to do all of the physicality of the role. I’ve always dreamt of getting to play a character that I would need to meld the physicality and the athleticism of myself with the acting that I love, and this role gave me the opportunity to do that," Holland concluded.
Peacemaker season 2 will also star Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr., Sol Rodríguez as Sasha Bordeaux, Tim Meadows as Langston Fleury, and David Denman in a mystery role. There's no word on a premiere date but production has been ongoing for a while now with Gunn directing episodes while shooting Superman.
