UPDATED: Max has set Thursday, December 5 for the premiere of Creature Commandos, the streamer announced today. The seven-episode adult animated series will release one episode weekly through January 16.
See series details below and trailer above.
PREVIOUS, July 26: James Gunn beamed in from the Superman set Friday at Comic-Con to show off the new teaser for Max’s animated series Creature Commandos, which he wrote all seven episodes on. Premiere date is December.
In the footage, which you can see above, Viola Davis reprises her role as Amanda Waller. She walks Captain Flag down to inner prison areas where we’re introduced to a bunch that’s crazier than the Suicide Squad: Weasel, The Bride, G.I. Robot, Dr. Phosphorus, Frankenstein and Nina Mazursky.
“These assholes aren’t human,” Waller tells Rick Flag. G.I. Robot later pops up, “It’s been oh., so long since G.I. Robot sent Nazia back to hell!”
Voices announced previously for Creature Commandos are Frank Grillo, David Harbour, Maria Bakalova, Indira Varma, Zoe Chao, Alan Tudyk, Sean Gunn and Steve Agee.
This all went down during the panel Jim Lee & Friends, hosted by the Chief Creative Officer of DC.
Gunn mentioned he is days away from wrapping Superman and will then go into production on season 2 of the John Cena Max DC series Peacemaker.
The seven-episode show focuses on the creation of a black ops team out of prisoners (a precursor to the Suicide Squad in DC mythology) was part of the initial 10 film and TV projects revealed in January 2023 by new DC Studios co-chairmen and CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran. Those projects are interconnected in the DCU in the Chapter 1 phase “Gods and Monsters.”
Gunn also unveiled a new DC logo.
