James Gunnhas confirmed another piece of casting news for his fledgling DC cinematic universe – and it involvesThe Witcherstar Anya Chalotra.
In reply to someone asking whether Anya Chalotra was playing Circle in upcoming animated series Creature Commandos, Gunn replied onThreads, “Yes. And there are other cool characters in the show played by other cool actors. But all of the series regulars were announced.”
Chalotra, who plays Yennefer in Netflix’s The Witcher, was previously linked to the role after a document that appeared to be her online CV was discovered (H/TScreen Rant). On her resume? The role of Circe.
Circe will be a familiar name to those ofDC comicsand, in particular, Wonder Woman’s adventures. She is often depicted as an ancient sorceress, one who often butts heads with Diana as well as wider members of the DC universe, including Superman.
The premise of Creature Commandos sees Viola Davis’ Amanda Waller form a team of monsters and kooky creatures that are tasked with completing black ops missions. AfterThe Suicide Squad, well, what could go wrong?
The project is set to be the firstDCU Chapter Oneseries to air– andit’s expected to arrive later this year.

A reminder, too, that Gunn has previously stated that anyone appearing in animation would also reprise their role in live-action (and vice versa, including wider media such as video games). So, Anya Chalotra could be making the leap to live action in the DCU sooner than later.
