James Gunn has offered up an update on the production of the upcoming DC Studios series Creature Commandos. The director revealed that the show is still on track to release next year.
Gunn recently responded to a fan on Twitter who asked about the animated series, asking if it was still set to release in 2024 as originally planned. The filmmaker revealed that it was, noting that there hadn’t been any delays for the series yet. He also noted any other information is either a mistake or someone “misspeaking.”
The question came after rumors began floating around that the show had been postponed, or would be delayed due to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike in Hollywood.
Who is in Creature Commandos?
Creature Commandos is based on the DC Comics team created by J.M. DeMatteis and Pat Broderick. It will feature the voices of Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr., Indira Varma as Bride of Frankenstein, David Harbour as Eric Frankenstein, Maria Bakalova as Princess Ilana Rostovic, Alan Tudyk as Doctor Phosphorus, Zoë Chao as Nina Mazursky, Sean Gunn as G.I. Robot/ Weasel, and Steve Agee as John Economos, with Viola Davis reprising Amanda Waller in animated form.
The series is created and written by Gunn. The upcoming TV adaptation serves as the first series of the rebooted DC Universe, which will be part of its first phase called Chapter One: Gods and Monsters. It is executive produced by Gunn, Peter Safran, and Sam Register. Producers are Lisa Hallbauer, Kip Brown and Karina Benesh.
