Hey there, DC fans! Get ready for a hair-raising treat. DC Studios has revealed a little sneak peek of its forthcoming animated series – ‘Creature Commandos’. This news is perfectly timed for the San Diego Comic-Con, and fans are buzzing with excitement!
The Brains Behind the Monsters
The genius steering this spooktacular series is none other than James Gunn, the famous director from DC Studios. ‘Creature Commandos’ is the initial offering in the revamped DC Universe with many more exciting series due to follow. The cast for the series is truly sizzling. Let’s delve into the cast swarm!
A Celebrity Cast with a Monster Twist
Playing lead, David Harbour will be filling the mighty boots of Frankenstein. Harbour is flanked by a superb cast which includes Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr., Indira Varma as The Bride, Maria Bakalova as Princess Ilana Rostovic, Alan Tudyk as Dr. Phosphorus, Zoe Chao as Nina Mazursky and Steve Agee as John Economos. Sean Gunn will be Weasel, and the director, James Gunn, is lending his voice to G.I. Robot, a metal soldier. We’re still waiting to learn more, but something’s for sure – we can’t wait to see the show premiering in December 2024!
Cracking the Enigma: What’s the Plot?
One burning question among fans is: What will be the storyline? It seems that the ‘Creature Commandos’ storyline unravels after the ‘Peacemaker’ series, scheduled for its second season soon.
Stepping into the fantasy mix is Viola Davis, assuming the daunting role of Amanda Waller. Waller formerly managed the unfortunate Task Force X project. Now, she’s got a new crew for executing special operations, consisting, interestingly, of monsters. It looks like her game plan involves guiding the Creature Commandos sneakily – all to avoid risking human lives.
Charting the Course in the DC Universe
DC Studios intends to reimagine its universe with ‘Creature Commandos’ leading the charge. Peter Safran, the co-head of DC Studios, mentioned last year that there were plans for 10 stories under the title ‘Gods and Monsters’. Their mission is to narrate tales inspired by love, compassion and the all-important human spirit. It certainly keeps the anticipation soaring!
For the Eager Beavers
Are you wishing December would come quicker? If you want a bit of a teaser of what ‘Creature Commandos’ might be like, try reading ‘Frankenstein, Agent of S.H.A.D.E.’. This series ran from 2011 to 2013 and was created by Jeff Lemire. Even if it’s not a carbon copy of Gunn’s incoming animation, it carries a similar vibe and concept. The monster party is about to start!
We are all hyped about ‘Creature Commandos’. But will DC sneak in a little show-taster at the San Diego Comic-Con? We’ll have to wait and watch. So, keep your monster-loving spirits jumping and brace yourselves for a spooky dive into the DC Universe, guaranteed to be thrilling as ever!
