But yeah, that was totally written into the script, the exchange about the chihuahua, and I love playing the straight character. I could also play the comedic character, but the straight character to me is so much fun because it's almost like... you're kind of the audience to some degree when you're the straight character... It's easy for the audience to connect with that character. It's fun to play the character that is having all of the questions that some of the audience is probably having about all of the crazy characters that are around. And without the straight character, the crazy characters just aren't as funny, you know? It's such a necessary part of comedy. I just love it. I love all of it. Jennifer Holland is a very famous and super sexy celebrity. She always had a dream to become famous and making a mark in this world. With her hard work and years of passion, Jennifer Holland had soon achieved her goal. Jennifer Holland is very passionate about what she does, and she pours her heart into all her work. This is very evident from Jennifer Holland’s work. Jennifer Holland has many hot images and her photo-shoots in dresses and bathing suits are the most popular ones. Jennifer Holland trains very hard to maintain her sexy figure and follows a pretty strict and healthy diet. Jennifer Holland’s gorgeous hair has been praised many times. Jennifer Holland has a brilliant figure, and all her performances have shown the fans that she is surely one of the best there is. As Peacemaker got underway, Holland’s pre-acting training as a gymnast came in handy for a much-celebrated dance sequence filmed for the opening credits. For comedian Steve Agee, who plays techie John Economos, having Holland around proved a comfort. And then this week we did see what you mentioned: we see her starting to warm up to Chris a little bit. How was it to kind of play — it's a very, very subtle build-up to that moment. How was it building that relationship not really explicitly?

I think in the remaining episodes — it's hard for me to talk about it without giving anything away. But yeah, she has started to let her guard down. As you can see from episode 5 when she takes the photo of the team and she sends the group text out to the 11th Street Kids, she's really starting to accept that maybe she's not better off alone. Maybe she can have a family, and that's okay. Maybe that's even better than what she's had before.She described James as a producer-director. I guess the fact that she put producer first or something, it just kind of gave me weird vibes,” Holland says with a laugh. James! Thank you for sharing your love, life and family with me,” Holland gushed. “Thank you for choosing me, for elevating me, and for always making me belly laugh. Here’s to many more years to follow the first extraordinary 7. I'm so glad also that you mentioned the Chihuahua exchange because that is what prompted one of my questions: James Gunn has such a distinctive sense of humor, and it really stands out in the show because other superhero fare tends to be super serious. So how is it getting to play some of those jokes, being one of the straighter characters sometimes amongst like, really goofy superheroes or aliens or whatnot? Is there improv or is it really, really planned out? I did. I did. Yes, it was written into the script. So I mean, I knew what was happening. James had explained that it was going to be this sort of robotic, emotionless thing. And I had no idea what he was talking about, but I was like, "Cool! Whatever you say, man. I'm up for it." That initial hesitance changed when she looked up interviews of the affable filmmaker online. “He seemed so incredibly charming in interviews,” she recalls.

It came together so well. It is kind of what you're talking about — that balance of like the comedy and drama — to have these really stone-faced actors doing all these moves, it's very effective. Yeah, it doesn't feel out of character — but am I correct in thinking that we can expect more of that in the remaining episodes? Every role that got put in front of me, ‘Oh! I get to be in this terrible film!'” Holland recalls with a laugh. “I didn’t know the difference between quality. I had no clue. I was just so excited to be on set.”

5. Sexy!!

And then, of course, things are about to get much crazier. The butterflies really remind me of a zombie movie. Gunn came into Holland’s life in July 2015. The director’s friend Michael Rosenbaum, the actor known for playing Lex Luthor in Smallville, was dating one of Holland’s friends at the time. Rosenbaum offered to set them up after Gunn saw a photograph of Holland and inquired who she was. Rosenbaum’s then-girlfriend floated the idea to Holland, who had never heard of Gunn, even though he had become an A-list filmmaker with Guardians of the Galaxy the previous summer. She found herself working closely with Cena, being wowed by his improvisational skills. He in turn found himself impressed by Holland.

Petski, Denise (March 14, 2016). "Chad Michael Murray To Star in CMT's 'Million Dollar Quartet' ". Deadline Hollywood . Retrieved July 30, 2021. When Gunn was penning The Suicide Squad, he had a member of the Squad’s coms team in mind for Holland. As the role became bigger, he named her Emilia Harcourt, a name DC readers would recognize. After wrapping The Suicide Squad,Gunn realized there was even ore for Harcourt to do in Peacemaker. JH: For me, it was just a dream character to play. The thing about her from my perspective is that she's just such a well-rounded character. She's not larger than life in the way that some characters can be on TV and in movies. She's very flawed, and she has a lot of different layers. And she's complicated and complex, and she doesn't always say and do the right things. I didn’t get my hopes up,” says Holland. Then WarnerMedia-owned HBO Max greenlit the show. “All of a sudden we are moving to Vancouver and he was prepping the show — it was a whirlwind.” For me, it was really, really beautiful. I just love that it's nuanced, and it's not so in your face, and you're not expecting it necessarily to come. I think you might be hoping that it will come.Speaking of breaking up the 11th street kids, I do think that Harcourt — it feels like she might hold a grudge. I can't imagine she's gonna take it well if and when she finds out that Leota is working for Waller. We did get all the scripts at the very beginning. James had all of the scripts pretty much 100% completed before we even started shooting the first episode, which is like a rare treat. You never really get that. Sometimes you don't even know what's happening two episodes from then. That can be frustrating. Sometimes a couple of episodes down the line, you get some information and you're like, "Well, that's weird. That doesn't really line up with something I did." We had a lot of directors come in, and they wanted to put their own sort of stamp on the project. And one of the directors really wanted to push for my character to have a big sort of revelation in their episode. It was really hard for me to toe the line of respecting them and their vision, but also protecting the really nuanced writing that James gave to this character. I didn't want her to learn anything too soon or to change too soon. I wanted to give it that space to breathe. I think that the way that it's written in such a slow and sort of nuanced way throughout the series is perfect. I'm really glad that it ended up the way but it did. MASHABLE: I love Harcourt so much as a character, and I want to know a little bit more about what it's like to play someone like that. Usually, in these types of shows and movies, these female characters have to be kind of soft at the center. But so far Harcourt is just really unapologetically tough, and I love it.

The thing about the way that James has written this show, and most everything that James does, is that all of the comedy is pretty grounded. He wants it to be really grounded, even if it's the most insane thing, like him making a joke about a chihuahua or whatever. These stupid things that he has to say, James always wants the tone to stay grounded and real. When you have to try to balance the drama and the comedy in a show like this, it's all just coming from a real place. So, it makes it easy. I think that the journey that follow is one where either she deepens that bond with them or something breaks ... it's just a really interesting thing to get to explore what happens when someone, who has never really opened up... What happens when someone like that does start to open up? I had absolutely no idea how important to the story she was going to be,” says Holland of Gunn’s Peacemaker writing process. “He’ll come down from his office and he’ll sort of bounce ideas off me when he is writing. I started getting a little bit of a teaser of what the character would be.”It is; it's unique. But again, the way that it's played in this series is [James Gunn] doesn't ever want it to be obvious that one person is or isn't a butterfly, right? They're all for the most part acting like just normal human beings because these butterflies, these aliens, are trying to assimilate to human life and just blend in. So it's not really until you start to see them at the moment that they get taken over and they're still adjusting to the new body that they're in, it's not until that moment that you really see them acting weird. DC and HBO's Peacemaker has been one hell of a ride for audiences. The weekly superhero series follows John Cena's The Suicide Squad character as he joins a secret government task force for "Project Butterfly" — a name that means more and more as weekly episodes roll out. And, yes, that’s a moose that showed up as the ceremony began!” Gunn, 56, went on to write. “And also, yes, @originalfunko made our wedding cake toppers designed on our actual tux and gown.” Says Holland: “I feel so grateful for the whole thing. The character is just awesome. I love her so, so much.”
