James Gunn has confirmed Viola Davis will be returning as Amanda Waller in another DC project.

Peacemaker season 2 has been put on hold with the characters from that show instead appearing in Waller, a new DC series. This will be a continuation of Peacemaker, which ended with Leota Adebayo (Danielle Brooks) revealing Waller's role in Task Force X.

Per Variety, the series will be produced by Doom Patrol creator Jeremy Carver. Gunn called the show "the greatest ever". There's no release date yet but it's expected to land before Superman: Legacy in July 2025.

The head of the Suicide Squad will be back after her last appearance in Black Adam. In the Dwayne Johnson-led movie, she appeared in several key moments, including the film's post-credits scene. The character is no stranger to the DC universe either, having appeared in several other projects too.
