The cast of the Peacemaker TV show has been announced and the list sees some returning characters from The Suicide Squad, classic DC characters brought to life for the first time, as well as some brand new figures from James Gunn. After spearheading Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy and resurrecting The Suicide Squad movie franchise, James Gunn has developed a reputation for bringing strange and obscure characters to the screen. As well as continuing the stories of those he wrote into the mainstream consciousness in The Suicide Squad, Peacemaker allows Gunn to bring in a few more lesser-known DC characters as well.

While Peacemaker was shot by the DCEU assassin Bloodsport and left for dead in The Suicide Squad after he betrayed the team and killed Rick Flag, a post-credits scene showed that he had survived. The Peacemaker TV series picks up right where that left off with Peacemaker still in hospital at the beginning of the series. He is then recruited by members of the Task Force X control team to work missions for them once again.

While there are some familiar faces in the Peacemaker TV show, it is worth noting that Viola Davis’ Amanda Waller is not slated for return. However, several of her team will be returning alongside John Cena’s Peacemaker. Here’s every new and returning cast member for the Peacemaker TV series.

John Cena as Peacemaker

Peacemaker Cast Every Returning & New DC Comics Character

John Cena’s Peacemaker will obviously be returning to head the cast of the Peacemaker TV show. His real name is revealed to be Christopher Smith and he is a self-righteous, patriotic, zealot who believes in creating peace no matter how many people he has to kill to achieve it. During the events of The Suicide Squad, Peacemaker betrayed his team when they wanted to save the date from Jotunheim that implicated the United States Government in Starro’s presence on Earth, revealing that he had a secret mission assigned by Waller. In blindly following his orders, he was willing to put his belief in the United States and his mission above the moral concerns of the rest of his Task Force X team and try to kill them for it.

Steve Agee as John Economos

Peacemaker Cast Every Returning & New DC Comics Character

Steve Agee returns to his The Suicide Squad role as John Economos in Peacemaker, a character that originated in DC’s comics who provides Peacemaker with technical and technological support. John is a member of Amanda Waller’s Task Force X mission control and is morally gray. He is willing to participate in the Task Force X program and bets on the deaths of the team members with other members of mission control. However, he is made uncomfortable when Waller threatens Bloodsport’s daughter, suggesting that it crossed a line for him, but he did not feel empowered to do anything until the entire team betrayed Waller. John seems to feel that working with Peacemaker is a punishment for their previous betrayal.

Jennifer Holland as Emilia Harcourt

Emilia Harcourt returns for the Peacemaker TV series. Portrayed by Jennifer Holland, she serves as Peacemaker’s handler in the field and is a skilled fighter. Harcourt is an NSA agent who works with Waller and Task Force X. Like John Economos, she is disturbed by Waller’s callous disregard for civilian life and while she takes part in the betting pool, she ultimately leads the revolution against Waller in The Suicide Squad. In the comics, Harcourt is actually a spy for the terrorist organization The People and briefly takes command of Task Force X before she is killed by Amanda Waller.

Danielle Brooks as Leota Adebayo

Freddie Stroma is bringing the original Adrian Chase Vigilante to live-action for Peacemaker. The character as he appears in Peacemaker was the second and most famous DC character to hold the mantle “Vigilante.” His predecessor, Greg Saunders, has appeared in animated adaptations and Arrow introduced different versions of both Vigilante and Adrian Chase. In Peacemaker, Vigilante and Peacemaker seem to both be members of Task Force X and have formed a sort of friendship. In the comics, he was a district attorney until his family was killed by the mob and he began to violently seek revenge in his own way. Freddie Stroma is known for his role as Prince Friedrich in Bridgerton.

Robert Patrick, of Terminator 2 fame, appears in Peacemaker as Auggie Smith, Peacemaker’s father. In The Suicide Squad, Amanda Waller tells Bloodsport that Peacemaker was trained to kill by his father, who was a former soldier. Auggie is known around town for being vulgar, opinionated, and racist. He has a tense relationship with his son which goes a long way to explaining some of Peacemaker’s character traits. Robert Patrick is famous for his role in Terminator 2 as the T-1000.
