DCU TV series

Creature Commandos is an upcoming American adult animated television series based on DC Comics featuring the eponymous team. Produced by DC Studios and Warner Bros. Animation, it will be the first television series in the DC Universe (DCU) and the first installment overall. It focuses on a black ops team of monsters assembled by Amanda Waller. All seven episodes were written by James Gunn, with Dean Lorey as showrunner and Yves "Balak" Bigerel as supervising director.

Steve Agee, Maria Bakalova, Anya Chalotra, Zoë Chao, Frank Grillo, Sean Gunn, David Harbour, Alan Tudyk, Indira Varma, and Viola Davis star in the series. After Gunn and Peter Safran became co-CEOs of DC Studios in October 2022, they announced Creature Commandos in January 2023. Production on the series had begun by then and casting was underway. The cast was announced that April. Animation for the series was provided by Bobbypills.

Creature Commandos is scheduled to premiere on the streaming service Max on December 5, 2024, with its first two episodes. The other five episodes will be released weekly until January 9, 2025. It will be the first entry in the DCU's Chapter One: Gods and Monsters.

Premise

[edit]

Following the events of the first season of Peacemaker (2022), Amanda Waller is no longer able to put human lives in jeopardy for her clandestine operations as she did with the Suicide Squad and Team Peacemaker. Instead, she assembles a black ops team of monsters called the Creature Commandos led by General Rick Flag Sr.[1][2]

Cast and characters

[edit]
  • Steve Agee as John Economos: An A.R.G.U.S. agent who is an aide to Amanda Waller[3]
  • Maria Bakalova as Princess Ilana Rostovic:
    Creator James Gunn developed the character with Bakalova in mind, including having her be Bulgarian like the actress is. Bakalova was the first person cast in the DC Universe (DCU).[4]
  • Anya Chalotra as Circe[5][6]
  • Zoë Chao as Nina Mazursky: A member of the Creature Commandos and an amphibious scientist[3][7]
  • Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr.:
    A general and the leader of the Creature Commandos.[8] Grillo said Flag was competent and had more gravitas than his son, Suicide Squad leader Rick Flag Jr.,[8][9] who was killed in The Suicide Squad (2021). Gunn said Flag Sr. was a morally complex character that would be explored from "different angles" across multiple DCU projects.[10]
  • Sean Gunn as
    • G.I. Robot: A member of the Creature Commandos and a military android whose purpose is to kill Nazis.[3][7][11] The series explores how G.I. Robot only felt at home during World War II. James Gunn said there was a "sweet, mechanic innocence" to the character that he did not see until Sean's performance.[12] Early designs for the character were similar to a trash can and robots from 1950s science fiction before the "friendlier, wide-eyed" final design was settled on.[13]
    • Weasel: A member of the Creature Commandos and the Suicide Squad,[3][14] who was compared to the Tasmanian Devil from Looney Tunes.[15] Gunn said Weasel's backstory would be explored in the series.[11]
  • David Harbour as Eric Frankenstein:
    A member of the Creature Commandos and the Bride's love interest,[3][7] who Harbour described as "very colorful".[16] By taking away basic details from Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein (1818) such as his "lumbering and grunting", Gunn found Eric Frankenstein to be well-spoken and intellectual while still being driven by his rage, anger, inability to be truly human, and not being loved by the one he loves.[12] The animators gave the character more complex emotions and a softer silhouette to better reflect Harbour's performance.[13]
  • Alan Tudyk as
    • Doctor Phosphorus: A member of the Creature Commandos who is permanently radioactive.[3][7] The animators considered morphing his skeleton to show expressions, before deciding that his lack of expressions suited the character.[17] They incorporated the Kirby Krackle effect into the character's flaming skin.[13]
    • Clayface: A shapeshifting villain. Tudyk previously voiced a version of the character in the DC-based animated series Harley Quinn (2019–present) and was excited to voice the same character in two different ways: the Harley Quinn version is a "moron" with more comedic elements while the version seen in Creature Commandos is "a killer [and] a homicidal maniac".[18]
    • Will Magnus: Tudyk based his performance on director Mike Nichols[19]
  • Indira Varma as the Bride:
    A member of the Creature Commandos.[3][20] This version has two arms, instead of four as depicted in the comics, to simplify her depiction for both animation and live-action.[15][17]
  • Viola Davis as Amanda Waller: The leader of A.R.G.U.S. who assembles the Creature Commandos.[1]

Additionally, Benjamin Byron Davis voices Rupert Thorne,[21] Michael Rooker voices Sam, Gregg Henry voices Myron Mazursky,[22] and Peter Serafinowicz voices Victor Frankenstein.[19] Linda Cardellini also has a guest role in the series.[23]

Episodes

[edit]

All seven episodes were written by James Gunn,[1] with the third episode titled "Cheers to the Tin Man",[24] and the fourth episode titled "Chasing Squirrels".[25] The first two episodes will release on December 5, 2024, with episodes then releasing weekly until January 9, 2025.[26]

Production

[edit]

Background

[edit]

James Gunn was hired in October 2018 to write and direct The Suicide Squad (2021),[27][28] a standalone sequel to the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) film Suicide Squad (2016) which retained some cast members but otherwise told its own story.[29] He worked with producer Peter Safran, who also produced the DCEU films Aquaman (2018) and Shazam! (2019).[30] They later expanded The Suicide Squad into a spin-off television series, Peacemaker (2022–present), for the streaming service HBO Max.[31] Discovery, Inc. and Warner Bros.' parent company WarnerMedia merged in April 2022 to become Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD), led by president and CEO David Zaslav. The new company was expected to restructure DC Entertainment and Zaslav began searching for an equivalent to Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige to lead the new subsidiary.[32] Gunn and Safran were announced as the co-chairs and co-CEOs of the newly formed DC Studios at the end of October 2022.[33] A week after starting their new roles, the pair had begun developing an eight-to-ten-year plan for a new DC Universe (DCU) that would be a "soft reboot" of the DCEU.[34][35][36] Gunn and Safran said some cast members would return from The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker in the DCU, and a "rough memory" of the events of those projects would remain.[37]

Development

[edit]

Gunn discussed making an animated series for Max, the successor to HBO Max, after the success of Peacemaker. He wrote the seven-episode series without a deal, based on the Creature Commandos team of monsters from DC Comics. After he was hired to lead DC Studios, Gunn greenlighted the project.[1][38] On January 31, 2023, Gunn and Safran unveiled the first projects from their DCU slate, which begins with Chapter One: Gods and Monsters. The first project was Creature Commandos, which was expected to be released as an "aperitif" for the DCU before the film Superman (2025),[1][14] with some characters from the series appearing in that film.[17] Gunn said the series was integral to their vision for the DCU, establishing the fact that characters would be treated consistently across different mediums moving forward.[2] Warner Bros. Animation co-produced the series.[39] Executive producers include DC Studios' Gunn and Safran, Warner Bros. Animation's Sam Register, and Dean Lorey.[17][13] Lorey served as showrunner for the series,[40] with Yves "Balak" Bigerel as supervising director and Warner Bros. Animation's Rick Morales as supervising producer.[17][13] Describing his involvement in the production, Gunn said the team took his scripts and made an "innately good" series that he suggested some improvements for.[41]

Lorey and Gunn had discussed a potential second season by November 2024, but Lorey said it was dependent on Gunn having time to write more scripts. Gunn said he wanted Lorey and others who worked on the first season to return, even if the story continued in a different format such as a Creature Commandos film rather than a second season.[40][41]

Writing

[edit]

Created for Weird War Tales #93 (1980) by J. M. DeMatteis and Pat Broderick, the Creature Commandos were originally a team of monsters fighting Nazis during World War II.[14][42] The series depicts a modern version of the team being assembled by Amanda Waller following the events of the first season of Peacemaker.[2] The team is also referred to as Task Force M, with the 'M' standing for monster.[20] It includes Rick Flag Sr., Nina Mazursky, Doctor Phosphorus, Eric Frankenstein, the Bride, G.I. Robot, and Weasel.[1][20] Gunn said the Bride was the lead character.[1] Waller, Weasel, and Flag's son Rick Flag Jr. previously appeared in The Suicide Squad.[14]

Each episode centers on a different member of the team,[12] similar to the series Lost (2004–2010).[38] In his pitch for the series, Gunn described it as dark, "humorous but never goofy", and unsentimental, with adult and political themes.[15] He was influenced by the Universal Classic Monsters, manga series Golgo 13 (1968–present), and 1960s war films.[13] The characterization of Frankenstein and the Bride took inspiration from Mary Shelley's original Frankenstein novel (1818) rather than Boris Karloff's Frankenstein film (1931).[12] Grillo said the series was "hard R" with a "funny and filthy" tone,[9] and "X-rated" sex scenes.[38] Morales described it as a "macabre spin" on action ensembles such as the film The Dirty Dozen (1967) and the series The A-Team (1983–1987).[13] Gunn compared the series to The Suicide Squad and his Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) film Guardians of the Galaxy (2014), noting that they are both focused on "outcasts and irregular types and weirdoes" but Creature Commandos is less sentimental than Guardians of the Galaxy due to the different moral allegiances of each team.[12]

Casting and voice recording

[edit]

Gunn and Safran said Viola Davis would reprise her role as Amanda Waller from The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker in the DCU,[37] and she was confirmed to be voicing the character in Creature Commandos with the series' announcement. Further casting was underway by then, with Gunn and Safran intending to hire actors who could voice the characters in the series and also portray them in live-action DCU projects;[1] actors performed on-camera auditions instead of voice-over ones.[43] Casting was almost complete by late February 2023.[44]

The cast was announced in April, with Frank Grillo as Flag;[8] Maria Bakalova as Princess Ilana Rostovic, an original character created for the series;[3][45] Zoë Chao as Mazursky; Alan Tudyk as Doctor Phosphorus; David Harbour as Frankenstein; Indira Varma as the Bride; Sean Gunn as G.I. Robot in addition to returning as Weasel from The Suicide Squad; and Steve Agee reprising his role as John Economos from The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker.[3][7][20] James Gunn said Harbour was his first choice for Frankenstein,[46] and some of the actors, including Grillo, were already planned for live-action appearances.[45] Gunn had wanted to work with Grillo for a while and said he would "find something cool" for Grillo to do in the DCU, leading to his casting as Flag Sr. in multiple projects.[10] Voice recording began by May 2023,[11][47] and was completed by that August.[48] Gunn served as the voice director for the main actors.[49]

In November 2023, Anya Chalotra was reported to have been cast as Circe,[5] which Gunn confirmed in January 2024.[6] That October, Michael Rooker, Linda Cardellini, Gregg Henry, Peter Serafinowicz, and Benjamin Byron Davis were revealed to have guest roles in the series, and the character Clayface was revealed to be appearing.[23] Tudyk stated the next month that he was voicing Clayface after previously doing so for the DC-based series Harley Quinn (2019–present). When Gunn told Tudyk that he would be voicing the character again, Tudyk was already planning to ask if he could.[18]

Animation and design

[edit]

Production was underway by the end of January 2023. Gunn said animation was a way to "tell stories that are gigantic" without a large budget.[14] Animation studio Bobbypills worked on the series.[17] By February 2024, the initial animatics had been finished and picture locked. Gunn said "elaborate animated finals" were being worked on.[50] The series adheres to Gunn's mandate for a cohesive approach to the DC Universe, so characters and locations can move between mediums and be familiar to audiences. The designers initially redesigned Belle Reve prison to be a "beautiful gothic locale on top of a hill", but Gunn told them that it had to match the "dull, boring building" design seen in The Suicide Squad. New locations, such as Frankenstein's mansion, feature designs closer to the original Belle Reve look.[17] Despite this, Gunn stated in October 2024 that he was "not imposing any overall aesthetic" on the DCU and wanted each project to be "its own thing". Lorey said the series had an Eastern European style that was grounded but stylized, and different from Harley Quinn.[38]

Music

[edit]

In August 2024, Gunn revealed that Kevin Kiner and Clint Mansell were composing the score for the series. The pair previously scored the first season of Peacemaker.[51][52] Creature Commandos' theme song is "Moliendo Café" from Venezuelan artist Hugo Blanco.[17] When developing the series, Gunn created a "musical mood-board" inspired by the works of Gogol Bordello and the Dresden Dolls.[15]

Marketing

[edit]

A making-of session and presentation for the series with Balak and Morales took place at the 2024 Annecy International Animation Film Festival.[13] Gunn was unable to attend due to his filming schedule for Superman, but he introduced the presentation via a video message.[2] Two storyboard sequences were shown along with character and location designs.[15][13] Rafael Motamayor of /Film and Kambole Campbell of Animation Magazine both criticized Gunn's video message as boring and too focused on corporate strategy. They were more positive about the rest of the presentation and the footage that was shown, but expressed concern that the needs of the wider DCU were being put ahead of what was best for the series; Motamayor said the change from the new Belle Reve design to one more similar to The Suicide Squad was met with "palpable disappointment" during the presentation. They both praised other design elements. Campbell hoped the creative intentions of Balak and Bobbypills would come through in the final series with more prominence than the needs of corporate synergy.[17][13]

Gunn made a surprise appearance during a San Diego Comic-Con panel for DC Comics COO Jim Lee in July 2024 and released the first teaser trailer for the series.[53] Based on the teaser, James Whitbrook at Gizmodo said Gunn was "taking his Suicide Squad ideas even wilder" with the series,[20] while Molly Edwards of GamesRadar+ described the teaser as a "colorful, madcap ride".[54] Charles Barfield at The Playlist said the style, tone, and structure of the series appeared to be similar to Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy and The Suicide Squad films, again bringing together a "group of disparate characters" to fight some villains.[55] A full trailer was released during a panel for the series at New York Comic Con in October, attended by James Gunn, Lorey, Grillo, Harbour, Chao, Agee, Bakalova, Tudyk, and Sean Gunn.[38] Writing about the trailer for The A.V. Club, William Hughes said the series "looks fun as hell" and like "classic Gunn 'superhero' fare: Darkly funny, energetic, and gory".[56] Gizmodo's Justin Carter said the trailer was "a bunch of monstrous fun",[57] and Eric Francisco of Vulture said it has "a vivid art and animation style with deep, bold colors". He added that the trailer "goes hard and heavy on the bloodletting";[58] multiple other commentators also noted the violence and gore depicted in the trailer.[59][60][61]

Release

[edit]

Creature Commandos is scheduled to premiere on the streaming service Max on December 5, 2024, with its first two episodes. The other five episodes will be released weekly until January 9, 2025.[26] It will be the first entry in the DCU's Chapter One: Gods and Monsters.[14]
