Actor landing a role in Peacemaker season 2 shares her experience of auditioning for a major Superman part, only to find herself losing it to a long-standing companion; she expresses her contentment with the outcome.

In a twist of fate, actress Sol Rodriguez found herself in a bittersweet position when she lost out on the role of The Engineer in James Gunn's Superman project. Rodriguez, who currently stars as ARGUS agent Sasha Bordeaux in the DCU series Peacemaker, initially auditioned for the coveted role.

Rodriguez's audition journey began when she sent a tape for the role, an act that eventually led to an offer. However, it was Venezuelan actress María Gabriela de Fariá who ultimately secured the role of The Engineer.

Rodriguez shared her feelings about the situation, expressing a sense of loss but also acknowledging de Fariá's deservedness for the role. She revealed that she was prepared to be happy for her friend if she got the part.

The story of Rodriguez's missed opportunity and her current role in Peacemaker can be further explored in the DCU Chapter One and the DCU timeline. For those keen on keeping track of new episodes, the Peacemaker season 2 release schedule is available.

Interestingly, Rodriguez and de Fariá have a shared history, having worked together 14 years ago on the Nickelodeon Latin America show Grachi. Rodriguez's initial audition for The Engineer was, in fact, intended for de Fariá.

Despite the initial setback, Rodriguez moved on from her dream of playing The Engineer. Her audition for Sasha Bordeaux in Peacemaker eventually resulted in an offer, leading her to the DCU universe.

Rodriguez's encounter with James Gunn during the audition process for The Engineer was initially a one-time event. She felt she was not good enough for him. However, fate had other plans, as she was later contacted for the role of ARGUS agent Sasha Bordeaux in Peacemaker.

Currently, Peacemaker season 2 is streaming on HBO Max, allowing viewers to witness Rodriguez's compelling performance as Sasha Bordeaux. Rodriguez's journey serves as a testament to resilience and the pursuit of opportunities in the entertainment industry.
