The Highly Anticipated Debut from DC Universe: Set to Premiere in 2024!

Summary

Creature Commandos, the DC Universe's first project, will premiere in 2024 as planned, according to actor Frank Grillo, dispelling rumors of a delay.

The impressive cast of the animated series comprises Grillo, Sean Gunn, David Harbour, Maria Bakalova, Alan Tudyk, Indira Varma, Zoe Chao, and others. Set in the present time, Creature Commandos serves as the backdrop for the upcoming DC Universe, leading up to the debut of Superman: Legacy in 2025.

The animated series Creature Commandos, which is the first project in the new DC Universe, has been officially scheduled for release in 2024. Frank Grillo, the actor who portrays Rick Flag Sr. in the series, confirmed this on his Instagram Stories.

Grillo shared an article that claimed Creature Commandos will premiere in 2024 as planned. The actor echoed Gunn's recent comment about a possible delay for Creature Commandos, stating, "No Delay for #creaturecommandos." Being an animated series, Creature Commandos' production was unaffected by the Hollywood strikes, enabling it to continue progressing towards its original release window.

What To Expect From Creature Commandos

The talented cast of the Creature Commandos consists of actors who bring prior expertise from superhero projects. Joining the animated series' team are Grillo as Rick Flag Sr., Sean Gunn as Weasel and G.I. Robot, David Harbour as Eric Frankenstein, Maria Bakalova as Princess Ilana Rostovic, Alan Tudyk as Dr. Phosphorus, Indira Varma as The Bride, and Zoe Chao as Nina Mazursky. Additionally, Steve Agee and Viola Davis will reprise their DCEU roles of John Economos and Amanda Waller, respectively, in Creature Commandos.

Gunn, the creative chief of the DC Universe, has written all seven episodes of Creature Commandos. While fans have limited information about the show's plot, there are hints about the direction of the story. For example, Grillo's character is revealed to be the father of Rick Flag, played by Joel Kinnaman, and G.I. Robot is shown wearing a military suit in the cast reveal for Creature Commandos. Some fans speculated that the animated series might be set in the past, possibly during World War II like the original comics, but Gunn clarified that it actually takes place in the "modern day" of the DC Universe's timeline. However, this doesn't rule out the possibility of another version of the team existing in the past, which could potentially be explored in a second season of Creature Commandos. Establishing the setting of the new DC Universe a year before the release of Superman: Legacy will be beneficial, and Creature Commandos will help alleviate some of the pressure on the highly anticipated DCU film.
