Harley Quinn co-creator Patrick Schumacker has announced that The Suicide Squad director James Gunn has joined the Season 3 cast for a voice guest appearance. In the cameo, Gunn will be portraying a version of himself. Schumacker also teased that Gunn’s episode will feature the filmmaker trying to direct a Thomas Wayne biopic.
This marks Gunn’s latest collaboration with DC following the 2021 film and Peacemaker Season 1. He’s currently developing additional projects with the company which includes the second season of the John Cena-led action dramedy.
I’ve been holding onto this for a while. As an enormous fan of the show, it’s an incredible honor! Thanks to the #HarleyQuinn gang for the fun (PS my Thomas Wayne biopic is going to be a MASTERPIECE!) @dcharleyquinn @PMSchumacker https://t.co/NE0DKurdxl
