The character she plays has big ties to one of DC Comics’ most popular heroes
Peacemaker season 2 actor Sol Rodríguez has expressed a wish to appear in one of the DC Universe’s (DCU) most anticipated productions.
Speaking to TechRadar, Rodríguez, who plays ARGUS agent Sasha Bordeaux in the returning HBO Max show, said she would “really love” to feature in The Brave and The Bold (TB&TB). That’s the current title of the DCU’s Batman movie, which slow but important progress is being made on.

Without spoiling anything significant about Bordeaux’s backstory in DC Comics, the character has big ties to The Caped Crusader. Created by Greg Rucka and Shawn Martinbrough, she first appeared in the long-running Batman-led Detective Comics literary series in December 2000 and has been part of the wider DC Universe – the comics-based version, that is – ever since.
It might seem strange that Bordeaux makes her live-action debut in Peacemaker‘s sophomore season rather than a Batman-centric story.
Nevertheless, considering the John Cena-starring TV series and TB&TB are part of the DCU’s larger storytelling tapestry, Bordeaux’s appearance in the former doesn’t mean she can’t appear in the latter. After all, Justice Gang members Hawkgirl and Guy Gardner/Green Lantern appeared in James Gunn’s Superman movie and will cameo in Peacemaker 2. Why can’t Bordeaux do likewise in one of the best HBO Max shows‘ second installment and TB&TB?

The short answer is: she could, but only if Gunn says so. Indeed, while Rodríguez is extremely keen to see Bordeaux make the trip to Gotham City in the DCU Chapter One film, it’s up to Gunn and his DC Studios co-chief Peter Safran whether she will.
When I asked if Gunn had spoken to her about Bordeaux’s possible appearance in TB&TB, Rodríguez said: “No, he hasn’t – yet. That last word is the key one that gives me hope, though. I hope she gets to go to Gotham and have some fun over there. I’d really love that with my whole being.
“I’m just focused on playing Sasha in Peacemaker [for now],” she continued. “I want to respect the fans so, when I got the part, I read everything about her [in the comics]. Then, when I saw the scripts, the essence [of the character] is still there, but I also feel like I brought my own thing [to the role] as well as what James had already written, so I hope everyone likes what I’ve done in this show.”
Would you like to see Bordeaux show up in TB&TB? Let me know in the comments. And, before Peacemaker returns to our screens, read my dedicated guide to Peacemaker season 2 and then my Peacemaker season 2 review to see what I made of its first five episodes.
Peacemaker 2 arrives with a one-episode premiere on August 21 (North and South America) and August 22 (everywhere else).
