With Season 2 of Peacemaker on the horizon, premiering Aug. 21 on HBO Max, Holland sat down with Parade to talk about what Harcourt means to her, how the character evolves after the events of Season 1, and why the show has resonated so deeply with audiences.
What does it mean to you to play such a powerful, grounded female character in a genre typically dominated by larger-than-life male heroes?Oh gosh. It means more than I even know how to put into words. The industry continues to change and shift in ways that portray women as multifaceted, interesting human beings rather than the tropes we were stuck with for so long. You see it now all the time—stories where women are just the leads, not a publicity stunt, not a novelty, just a story about a woman. In most of my career, I was playing weak women who didn’t speak up for themselves, who were secondary to the men, and there to push the male story forward. So getting to play this character, and having someone write it for me because they saw this side of me, is pretty meaningful. When women walk up to me and tell me that Harcourt means something to them, or that her strength means something to them, it fulfills me in such a deep way.
What part of your performance are you most proud of that audiences might not notice?I’m proud of the initiative I took to prepare my body for Harcourt. I wanted her to look like someone who could handle heavy weaponry. I worked out really hard, on my own in Season 1, and with my trainer Paulo in Season 2, to put on muscle mass. It’s almost more important for my character than for an actual superhero. Harcourt is just a human being, and I’m a small person. She needed to look like she could believably beat up big guys. That mattered to me.
I think fans are eager to see where the relationship between Harcourt and Peacemaker is headed. What can you sayabout their relationship moving forward?Season 1 centered around the bromance between Danielle Brooks's character and John’s character. Season 2 centers around the relationship between Harcourt and Peacemaker. So you’re going to get the answer to that.
