Jennifer Holland, who plays Emilia Harcourt in Peacemaker, trolls John Cena with the perfect contact photo in celebration of his birthday. The wrestler-turned-actor made his DCEU debut in writer/director James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad. While Holland played an NSA agent who works closely with Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) and is tasked with monitoring Task Force X, Cena plays the “douchey Captain America,” Christopher Smith/Peacemaker. At the end of the film, Peacemaker betrays his fellow members of Task Force X and is seemingly shot and killed by Bloodsport (Idris Elba). However, the post-credits scene revealed he survived the events of Corto Maltese and is needed by Harcourt and John Economos (Steve Agee) to help “save the f—king world.

Cena, Holland, and Agee reprised their roles in The Suicide Squad spin-off show Peacemaker, which was released on HBO Max earlier this year. Picking up where the flagship film left off, Peacemaker sees Cena’s character join forces with the A.R.G.U.S. black ops squad on the "Butterfly Project" in an attempt to thwart an alien invasion. The series’ cast also includes Danielle Brooks, Robert Patrick, Freddie Stoma, Chukwudi Iwuji, and Nhut Le. That said, it’s clear that the series’ ensemble has grown close both in front of and behind the camera, with many taking to social media in honor of Cena’s 45th birthday.

On Sunday, April 23rd, Holland took to Twitter, wished her friend a happy birthday, and shared the perfect contact pic for Cena—which sees him sport a hilarious grin. Holland's birthday was one of many from members of the cast of Peacemaker as the cast grew extremely close during production of the show. Check out Holland's post below:

Whether it be on Silther, Marvel Studios’ Guardians of the GalaxyThe Suicide Squad, or Peacemaker, Gunn tends to create work environments that spawn long-lasting personal and professional relationships—something that is also present in his outrageous, hilarious, juke-box-worthy, and heartfelt work. Peacemaker released its season 1 finale, “It’s Cow or Never,” on February 17 and will return to the streamer eventually after it became a hit during its initial run. Not only does A.R.G.U.S. succeed in its mission but Peacemaker makes the inverse of his The Suicide Squad decision, choosing his friends over an authoritative version of peace.

Cena, Holland, and the rest of the cast helped to make Peacemaker a hit with critics and audiences alike. The series is currently the DCEU’s best-reviewed project since its conception in 2013, with a 94% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes. Ahead of the season 1 finale, it was confirmed Peacemaker season 2 had been renewed. Following his work on Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Gunn will presumably return to work within the DCEU on Peacemaker season 2 and potentially other projects in the cinematic universe—which gives fans, and Cena, more than enough reason to smile.
