As filming on James Gunn’s Peacemaker continues, Variety is reporting that Alison Araya (Riverdale) and Lenny Jacobson (For All Mankind) have signed on for recurring roles in the DC series as a married couple called Amber and Evan.
A spinoff from the upcoming Warner Bros. and DC Films movie The Suicide Squad, Peacemaker sees John Cena reprising his role as the titular character, a pacifist who is so committed to peace that he is willing to fight – and kill – in order to achieve it.
