Warner Bros. has officially rebooted their DC Comics universe, focusing on bringing a fresh vision to its iconic characters. With James Gunn at the helm, known for his success with Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy and The Suicide Squad, the studio is taking a bold step forward with its newest animated series, Creature Commandos.
Creature Commandos introduces an unconventional team of supernatural misfits, including recognizable figures like Frankenstein, voiced by David Harbour, The Bride, voiced by Indira Varma, and Doctor Phosphorus, voiced by Alan Tudyk. The team is led by Rick Flag Sr. (Frank Grillo), the father of the character previously portrayed by Joel Kinnaman, while the morally complex Amanda Waller, voiced by Viola Davis, plays a significant role in the series.
This animated series encapsulates the trademark humor, surprise twists, and heartwarming themes of found family that audiences have come to expect from a Gunn production. It marks the beginning of Gunn’s redesigned DC universe, which will soon include the highly anticipated Superman film, featuring David Corenswet, and the second season of Peacemaker.
Creature Commandos promises engaging storytelling paired with an incredible voice cast, creating a unique experience for superhero fans. With seven episodes planned, viewers can look forward to more thrilling action and unexpected humor in the coming weeks.
