The first DCU show is coming sooner than we think – and we’re so ready.
The seven-episode animated series, based on the characters created by J. M. DeMatteis and Pat Broderick, sees Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) create a black ops team of monstrous prisoners. The team of military superhumans is comprised of a vampire, a werewolf, and a gorgon, along with a human leader.
The cast includes Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr., Maria Bakalova as Princess Ilana Rostovic, Indira Varma as the Bride of Frankenstein, Zoe Chao as scientist Nina Mazursky, Alan Tudyk as Doctor Phosphorus, Anya Calotra as Circe, Sean Gunn as G.I. Robot and Weasel, and Steve Agee as John Economos.
“It was written and ready to go,“Gunn previously told ScreenRant of the decision to put Creature Commandos out first. “We thought it worked well as an aperitif before the meal of Superman.”
