James Gunn<\/strong><\/a>, the American filmmaker and producer, recently opened up about a super awkward moment while filming Peacemaker Season 2. In the season finale, his wife, Jennifer Holland<\/strong>, shares a steamy kiss with co-star John Cena<\/strong>. For Peacemaker fans, this particular scene was one of the most emotional moments of the show, but Gunn admitted that directing it felt pretty uncomfortable at first.<\/p>\n In a behind-the-scenes segment on HBO Max and DC Studios, James Gunn opened up about the challenges of directing the kiss between Holland\u2019s character, Emilia Harcourt, and Cena\u2019s Chris Smith.<\/p>\n He admitted the experience felt \u201cuncomfortable,\u201d especially because Jennifer Holland is his spouse.<\/p>\n James said, \u201cIt wasn\u2019t only that I had to direct you kissing a man. It was that I had to direct you kissing a man in front of 200, 300 extras\u2026 I was uncomfortable about it, admittedly. I was like, I don\u2019t want to do this. \u201d<\/p>\n Even though he felt awkward at first, Gunn said once the scene started, he switched his focus to the technical side of filming. Using a Phantom camera to shoot the kiss in slow motion added an extra challenge.<\/p>\n \u201cI ended up loving the shots. Honestly, some of the best visuals from the whole series came from that sequence.\u201d<\/p>\n The scene that Gunn is referring to takes place on a boat during a live concert, it\u2019s where sparks really fly between Harcourt and Chris, giving fans what they\u2019ve been waiting for ever since the first episode.<\/p>\n Holland, who\u2019s been married to Gunn since October 2022, has starred in a bunch of his projects, like The Suicide Squad (2021), Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023), and even as a voice actress in the recently released Superman<\/a> movie. Before Holland, James Gunn was married to Jenna Fischer, famous from The Office, but their marriage ended after seven years.<\/p>\n Peacemaker Season 2 released on August 21, 2025, and wrapped up on October 9 with a 96% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. If you haven\u2019t watched it yet, you can binge the full season now on HBO Max.<\/p>\n The post James Gunn Felt \u2018Uncomfortable\u2019 Before Directing His Wife Kissing This Actor<\/a> appeared first on Mandatory<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" James Gunn, the American filmmaker and producer, recently opened up about a super awkward moment while filming Peacemaker Season 2.
