James Gunn’s highly anticipated animated series ‘Creature Commandos’ has premiered, showcasing a fresh and innovative take on the DC universe. The series features a blend of humor and action, introducing audiences to a bizarre cast of characters including Dracula, a werewolf, and a Frankenstein’s monster, who form a special unit aimed at fighting supernatural threats. According to Gunn, the series is designed to be part of the bigger DC cinematic universe, bridging the gap between animation and live-action. He stated, ‘Creature Commandos’ not only brings a new dimension to animated storytelling but also explores complex themes of family within the chaos of combat. Fans can expect to see familiar voices in the roles, with Frank Grillo voicing the character of Rick Flag, along with David Harbour, who takes on the role of Frankenstein’s monster. The series is animated in a vibrant style, reminiscent of classic cartoons, aiming to appeal to both new viewers and long-time DC fans. ‘Creatures that are monsters in their own stories become the heroes in ours,’ Gunn emphasized, reflecting on the unique narrative approach. The reception of the series has been promising, with early reviews praising its character depth and intricate storytelling, along with a nod to the charm of classic monster movies. The show is set to release on the streaming platform Max.
