Who Is James Gunn’s Wife? Meet Jennifer Holland – Hollywood Life

Jennifer Holland thought she was done playing Emilia Harcourt when she wrapped The Suicide Squad. Then James Gunn wrote Peacemaker, and the intelligence agent became a central character opposite John Cena. “I didn’t find out about it until pretty late in his process,” Holland told W. By then, she and Gunn had been together for years.

The couple stepped out together at the Clayface premiere in October, a few weeks before Skydance announced that Gunn and Peter Safran would step down as co-heads of DC Studios.
