DC Comics' James Gunn-led Creature Commandos Project to Evoke Familiar Tones
Let's Talk DC's New Animated Series: Creature Commandos
Cheers, folks! Guess who's stirring up some trouble in DC's universe this year? It's none other than James Gunn and his brainchild, Creature Commandos. This adult animated series debuts as the cornerstone of DC Studios' fresh shared universe,intertwining both animated and live-action projects.
The ensemble for this chaotic mission includes notable talents like Stranger Things' David Harbour, Doctor Who's Indira Varma, and Frank Grillo, confirmed to reprise his role as Rick Flag Sr. in the show, with appearances in Peacemaker season 2 as well.
Execution Producer Dean Lorey, coincidentally the co-creator of Harley Quinn and Kite Man: Hell Yeah, shares that the show will serve as the first glimpse of Gunn's vision for the DC Universe. He further explains that the story will maintain Gunn's distinctive tone, paving the way for the universe's future.
Sounds straightforward, right? Well, Lorey mentions that it's nothing new; it's similar to Suicide Squad, but with monsters. Now, that might give us a hint of what to expect, but apparently, it also leaves us scratching our heads in curiosity.
In an interview with The Wrap, Lorey assures us that despite the familiar premise, we'll find the new take on the DC Universe absolutely captivating. And honestly, with James Gunn at the helm, that's hard to disagree with!
David Harbour, who'll be playing a classic monster in the series, hinted to io9 that the story in Creature Commandos will be far from predictable. He teased the series as being "wacky and strange" with "depth and complexity," just like the classic story of Frankenstein's Monster.
The excitement doesn't stop there! Harbour hinted at an intriguing crossover between live-action and animated versions of DC Universe characters, opening up a whole new world of possibilities.
With all this buzz and enigmatic intrigue brewing, we can't help but be thrilled for the upcoming release. Creature Commandos is set to hit Max later this year. Be ready for a wild, unparalleled ride!
