Here’s some fresh casting news from some big-name filmmakers.James Gunn’sThe Suicide Squadspin-off seriesPeacemakerhas added four more actors to its roster, whileAvengers: EndgamedirectorsAnthonyandJoe Russohave added several recognizable faces to the cast ofThe Gray Man, their upcoming action movie that stars Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans, and Ana de Armas.

Peacemaker Cast

Deadline reports thatPeacemaker, Gunn’s HBO Max series that focuses on John Cena’s character from the upcomingThe Suicide Squadfilm, has addedChukwudi Iwuji,Lochlyn Munro,Annie Chang, andChristopher Heyerdahlto the cast. Let’s break those down one by one.

Iwuji, who has had small roles in things likeJohn Wick: Chapter 2andWhen They See Usand will soon appear in Barry Jenkins’The Underground Railroad, will be playing Clemson Murn, the only series regular of this bunch. Murn does not appear to exist in the pages of DC Comics, and Iwuji is not credited inThe Suicide Squad, so this sounds like a brand new character.

Munro, who has over 245 acting credits and has popped up in projects as varied asRiverdale,Scary Movie, andUnforgiven, will be guest starring inPeacemakeras Larry Fitzgibbon.The Suicide Squadfeatures a Doctor Fitzgibbon character played by John Ostrander; it’s unclear if this is meant to be the same person, or if it’s maybe some sort of relative.

Chang (Grey’s Anatomy,Master of None) is playing Detective Sophie Song, a character who has not appeared in any DC Comics before.

Finally, Heyerdahl (Stargate: Atlantis,Hell on Wheels) is playing Captain Locke, who is also absent from the comics.

The Gray Man Cast

The Russos' Netflix movie already has three strong leads, but it’s rounding out the supporting cast with some solid actors as well.Wagner Moura,Jessica Henwick,Dhanaush, andJulia Buttersare the latest to board the spy thriller.

Moura starred in theElite Squadfilms and played Pablo Escobar in Netflix’sNarcos. Jessica Henwick had small roles onGame of Thronesand the newStar Warstrilogy, and appeared in this year’sLove and Monsters. Dhanush is a Bollywood star whose credits includeRaanjhanaaandVada Chennai, and Julia Butters is best known for her scene-stealing role as the young actor in Quentin Tarantino’sOnce Upon a Time in Hollywood. No details are known about any of their characters, but it’s safe to say we’re looking forward to both of these projects and are excited to see all of these folks in action soon.
