The first project from the new DC Studios is Creature Commandos. Check out the trailer for the animated series above. It’s cast includes Sean Gunn, Frank Grillo, Maria Bakalova, Indira Varma, Zoe Chao, Alan Tudyk, David Harbour, and Steve Agee.
In the comic series, the Creature Commandos team works under Amanda Waller (Viola Davis). If these characters ever show up in live-action, they’ll be played by the same actors. Now with Agee’s involvement as John Economos, it seems like they’re tweaking it a little bit for him to be the team coordinator. Sean Gunn is reprising his role as Weasel but also plays G.I. Robot. The team features Rick Flag Sr. (Grillo), Weasel, Princess Ilana Rostovic (Bakalova), The Bride (Varma), Nina Mazursky (Chao), Dr. Phosphorus (Tudyk), Eric Frankenstein (Harbour), and G.I. Robot.
The seven-episode show will focus on one of the more eclectic teams in DC history, The Creature Commandos. It’s one of the central pieces of DCU’s new “Gods and Monsters” arc. It’s the first of a two-part story to be told in the coming decade from DC. James Gunn has written every episode of Creature Commandos. If there’s someone that knows how to get people to care about a ragtag team of random C-level comic book characters, it’s James Gunn. He also did the absolutely fantastic The Suicide Squad for DC in 2021.
Creature Commandos streams on Max on December 5th.
