Sol Rodriguez explains how she approached Sasha Bordeaux for Peacemaker Season 2
Speaking to DiscussingFilm about her character, Sasha Bordeaux, Rodríguez said, “I tried to maintain her essence from the comics… with my personality on top of what James Gunn wrote which is different than her story with Batman.”
She explained that Sasha had never been adapted on screen before, so she researched the character online and then combined that with the scripts and direction from Gunn. “I was like, ‘Okay, I’m going to make it mine. I have the opportunity to make it my own,’” Rodríguez said in the interview.
Rodríguez confirmed that she kept Sasha’s comic history in mind while shaping her version of the A.R.G.U.S. agent. “In my work for the character, I do have it in my backstory … I had it in the back of my mind,” she told ComicBook. However, she clarified that she aimed to create a new interpretation for the DC Universe’s television continuity. “I didn’t bring it with me. Because I wanted to do a different version honoring the character but also doing what James was asking me to do, and honoring this Sasha in Peacemaker’s world,” she added.
In the comics, the Sasha Bordeaux character debuts in Detective Comics #751 (2000), where Wayne Enterprises assigns her to protect Bruce Wayne. She soon uncovers his double life as Batman and becomes both his ally and romantic partner.
Later, she joins the covert agency Checkmate, where she rises to the position of Black Queen. Rodríguez acknowledged this history, noting, “It hasn’t been talked about with James if that’s ever going to happen. I’m crossing [my] fingers. If he ever wants to make that happen, I’m here for it.”
Peacemaker Season 2 introduces Sasha as part of Rick Flag Sr.’s A.R.G.U.S. team. The series adds Sol Rodríguez, Frank Grillo, and David Denman. They join returning stars John Cena, Danielle Brooks, and Jennifer Holland.
The show premiered on August 21 on HBO Max.
