The Peacemaker star opens up about the challenges of marriage when your spouse is spearheading a superhero empire—‘He’s giving it every ounce of his being.’

August 25, 2025 — Actress Jennifer Holland is offering an honest glimpse into married life with DC Studios co-head James Gunn: it’s demanding, unbalanced, and powered by passion.

Balancing Love and a Superhero Legacy

At the Peacemaker Season 2 premiere, Holland admitted there’s “very little” work–life balance right now in their marriage. She expressed understanding rather than frustration, acknowledging that Gunn’s creative focus—reviving the DC Universe—is consuming nearly every hour of his energy.

A Commitment Driven by Fans and Legacy

Holland emphasized that Gunn’s dedication isn’t about prestige—it’s about honoring beloved characters with integrity. “He just wants to do the characters justice… every ounce of his being,” she said, acknowledging how his responsibility to fans shapes their relationship dynamic.

Professional Respect Meets Personal Patience

Though their personal and professional lives overlap, Holland praised Gunn’s ability to keep those worlds respectful and supportive. The trust and creative shorthand they’ve developed offers her reassurance—even as balance takes a backseat.

Looking Ahead

As Holland continues putting her all into her role as Emilia Harcourt in Peacemaker, her real-life support for Gunn’s vision remains unwavering—even when moments of downtime are rare.
