‘Creature Commandos’ Is a ‘Soft Intro’ to the New DC Universe, Says James Gunn: ‘We Can Make Something That’s Violent and Sexual’
DC Studios co-chief and "Creature Commandos" creator James Gunn explains how the new animated series will begin building out the new DC Universe.
Two years later, the merrily TV-MA series “Creature Commandos,” debuting on Max on Dec. 5, is serving as a kind of appetizer for the new DCU, before Gunn’s feature film “Superman” provides the main course when it premieres in July 2025. Working in animation also afforded Gunn the freedom to make the show as violent and sexual as anything he’s made in live action — for example, Dr. Phosphorus (voiced by Alan Tudyk) thinks nothing of using his radioactive skin to melt the face off of his enemies, and multiple characters disrobe for bouts of enthusiastic intercourse. Grillo has already run into a tricky logistical hurdle with bringing Flag Sr. to “Peacemaker,” where his character replaces Waller as the head of A.R.G.U.S., the U.S. government agency overseeing the Commandos and other metahuman activity.
