It looks like James Gunn’s Peacemaker series, starring John Cena in the role he plays in Gunn’s upcoming The Suicide Squad, has added some more big names to its cast list.
Warner Brothers has announced new cast members joining the series including Chris Conrad as Vigilante – a Punisher-like sharpshooter who turns to brutal crimefighting after his wife and children are murdered – who will be nothing like the character who was in Arrow a couple of seasons back.
Next up, Jennifer Holland as Emilia Harcourt, the same NSA agent she’ll portray in The Suicide Squad.
Orange Is the New Black’s Danielle Brooks will play Leota Adebayo, and Terminator 2: Judgment Day’s Robert Patrick is Auggie Smith – these seem to be original characters and not based, as far as we know, on current or past DC characters..
Gunn wrote the series during lockdown and will direct several episodes of the HBO Max series which is due in 2021.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
