Danielle Brooks received an Oscar nomination for her role as Sofia in “The Color Purple” in 2024 and won a Grammy for best musical theater album. In 2025, she starred in “A Minecraft Movie” and voiced a character in “The Bad Guys 2.” She will reprise her role as Leota Adebayo in Season 2 of HBO Max’s “Peacemaker,” which premieres on August 21.
