If you think the Suicide Squad is just a group of misfits forced to fight for good, you’re wrong. Creature Commandos is another group from DC Comics that consists of unique, deadly, and hilarious monsters who play a vital role in saving the world. Now, James Gunn is all set to bring this mischievous group into the limelight by giving them their own TV show in the form of Creature Commando.
James Gunn announced Creature Commando in 2023 as part of his eight-year-long plan for the newly established DC Universe. In fact, this was the first project of the incredible roadmap. Well, while we wait for someone Major Updates for the New Superman Movie Or for other big projects, DC Studios has released the first trailer for the Creature Commando animated series. The series is scheduled to premiere worldwide on December 5, 2024. The first season will consist of seven episodes (all of which are written by James Gunn), which means the season will end with its final episode on January 16, 2025.
Creature Commando trailer raises high expectations for the animated series. Sure, it has incredible animation and voice acting, but it’s the darker tone of the series that has everyone excited. It’s basically the Suicide Squad, but instead of human criminals, the group consists of some monsters and a robot.
So far, the trailer has confirmed that Nina Mazursky, GI Robot, Weasel, Eric Frankenstein, and Doctor Phosphorus will be part of the Creature Commando group. Of course, with the help of John Economos, Amanda Waller will lead the group into action against some world-class threats.
Sure, some fans may think this is just another version of Suicide Squad, and in a way it is. However, it doesn’t matter whether the show is good or not. Looking at the trailer, we can say that this show will not shy away from violence. Additionally, the humor, especially the humor coming from the GI robots, is well received by fans. So, Creature Commando could actually prove to be a good starting point for the DCU.
