They first teamed up when Holland entered the D.C. Universe when she portrayed N.S.A. agent Emilia Harcourt in "The Suicide Squad." Gunn worked alongside her as he was the director.
The in-love couple then teamed up again to film the "Peacemaker," a "The Suicide Squad" spinoff series. It explored the origins of Peacemaker (John Cena), who believes in peace at any cost.
For the eight-episode HBO series, Holland reprised her role as Harcourt, who works with A.R.G.U.S. to monitor the Suicide Squad. In comparison, Gunn wrote all the episodes and leaned his directing skills to some of the episodes.
The rest of the cast includes Robert Patrick, who played the role of Auggie Smith, and Chris Conrad, who took on the part of The Vigilante/Adrian Chase. Vigilante is the alter ego of Chase, a New York City DA, who sought justice after mobsters killed his family.
Besides the D.C. action films and T.V. shows, Holland has appeared in T.V. shows such as "Sun Records," "Rush Hour," "American Horror Story," "Bones," "Cougar Town," "C.S.I. Miami" and "Perception."
