John Cena's Suicide Squad spin-off TV series Peacemaker has added not one, not two, not three, but FOUR new cast members.
First up, Orange is the New Black star Danielle Brooks has joined the show as a character named Leota Adebayo.
And on Instagram, The Suicide Squad director (and Peacemaker boss) James Gunn revealed that Terminator 2: Judgment Day star Robert Patrick has joined the cast as Auggie Smith.
Patriot actor Chris Conrad has taken the role of Adrian Chase/Vigilante, a former New York City DA-turned-vigilant who is looking for justice after his wife and kids were killed by mobsters.
Vigilante posses hand-to-hand combatant and marksman skills and is also a master of the lariat. He also has quick healing powers and is able to regenerate his body after serious injuries.
The cast will also include Jennifer Holland, who will be reprising her role as Emilia Harcourt from The Suicide Squad movie.
What to Read Next
Announcing the new cast members, Gunn wrote: "How could I not be stoked having the Terminator 2 and Dennis from my favorite Tv show ever - and of course Jenn - joining @johncena & @daniebb3 in our show.
"Thanks @HBOMax for being a great partner so far and letting us do something truly over-the-top. And, yes, for those of you asking, this show is connected to the DC film universe. I think we'll be the first show to air that is. Correct me if I'm wrong @wbpictures gods!"
Holland won't be the only star reprising a role from The Suicide Squad for Peacemaker.
Last week, we learned that Steve Agee will be back in his role of John Economos, who is the warden at Belle Reve Federal Penitentiary, in the HBO Max series.
The Suicide Squad is currently due for release on August 6, 2021.
