In James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad, ARGUS Agent Emilia Harcourt made quite the impression as Amanda Waller’s tough-as-nails aide. Still plenty enigmatic by the movie’s end, it’s only in the TV series Peacemaker, where Harcourt’s assigned to Project Butterfly, that the character opens up… well, kinda. While the character was prickly as ever, actress Jennifer Holland also got to flex her emotional muscles by giving Emilia a tiny bit of vulnerability when she wasn’t laying out scores of bad guys. Having survived the first season – and recently accepted Gunn’s proposal of marriage after several years as a couple – Holland’s got a lot to look forward to in the near future.
Coming into the series, did you think a lot about Harcourt’s origins?
I discussed it with James a little bit, the things that he might be interested in exploring in the future about who she is, and her past, and who is her father. She’s certainly very complex. Anyone who goes into this line of work immediately after high school has an interesting past and an interesting upbringing.
Let’s talk about the bar scenes between Peacemaker and Harcourt. How did you approach them?

Making Alien - Jaws in Space - Forty-five years on from its original release, Alien continues to terrify. We dissect what arguably remains the most chilling instalment in the saga
The seven-strong crew of the commercial mining spacecraft the Nostromo seal their fate after reluctantly responding to a mysterious distress signal on a hostile planet. Here, a face-hugging alien from a derelict ship impregnates and later kills executive officer Kane (John Hurt) after its offspring is birthed onboard. After being unleashed, the fearsome newborn with acid for blood proceeds to dispatch the remainder of the crew.Ridley Scott's much more convoluted prequels have yet to reveal how the knowledge that led to this initial interception was acquired. However, the premise of the original Alien is perfect in its uncomplicated purity.
