The DCU's First Super-Team Hyped As 'Some Of James Gunn's Best Stuff'

One of the main stars for the Creature Commandos TV show teases how the upcoming DC Universe super-team is some of James Gunn's best work yet.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The expectations for James Gunn's Creature Commandos series are getting high as one of the lead stars teases the DC Universe animated show. While DC Studios' new interconnected franchise still has several projects in the works, the DC Universe is closer than some people think, thanks to Creature Commandos.

While Creature Commandos plot details are still being kept under wraps, one of the main actors for the Max animated series stresses that this is some of Gunn's best work yet. In an interview with Collider, which was conducted before the SAG-AFTRA strike began, David Harbor, who will be voicing Eric Frankenstein, spoke about joining the DC franchise, as he is no stranger to the comic book genre.

We recorded a bunch of stuff. I mean, not only do I get to play in the DC Universe, I get to play in the James Gunn DC Universe, which is a whole new exciting thing. I didn't know what it was when it was sent to me; I met with James, and he sort of laid out a lot of stuff. It's really exciting. He considers it some of the best stuff he's ever written. It's hilarious, and the character is great.

But looking a bit deeper at the placement of Creature Commandos in DC Studios' Chapter 1, "Gods and Monsters" slate, this is right within Gunn's wheelhouse. The prolific MCU and DC filmmaker has shown throughout his work that he loves to explore more obscure characters in the comic canon, especially those who fall into the category of being underdogs.

Since Creature Commandos has already been in production for quite a while, including all the voice actors recording their dialogue, time will tell when the show will actually premiere in 2024. Given that this will be a significant installment for the DC Universe, a premiere date may not be announced until the ongoing Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA strikes come to an end.
