James Gunn Debunks Peacemaker Star Joining GOTG 3 Cast
Writer/director James Gunn debunks Peacemaker star Jennifer Holland joining Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 after a misinterpreted post. Holland and Gunn first teamed up for the 2019 superhero horror film Brightburn, which was written by the filmmaker's brother Brian and cousin Mark and on which Gunn produced, but would properly collaborate on Gunn's DC Extended Universe debut The Suicide Squad. Holland starred in the film as A.R.G.U.S. agent Emilia Harcourt and would carry over the role for Gunn's HBO Max sequel series Peacemaker, in which she was tasked to Project Butterfly by Viola Davis' Amanda Waller.

Gunn finally kicked off filming on Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 in November 2021 with the entire original cast and a few newcomers, though not one some may have expected.
