Creature Commandos invades NYCC 2024! JamesGunn, co-executive producer Dean Lorey, appeared on a Creature Commandos panel at this year’s NYCC. The voics cast was there too, including Doctor Phosphorus (Alan Tudyk), Eric Frankenstein (David Harbour), Maria Bakalova (Ilana Rostovic), Nina Mazursky (Zoe Chao), GI Robot and Weasel (Sean Gunn), lead by Rick Flag Sr. (Frank Grillo) and Steve Agee (John Economos).
Gunn elaborated on directing the voice cast, while assuring the animation team had total freedom. The first episode will feature the team getting together, while future episodes will tell the backstories of each of the characters.
Many fans are interested in how this ties to other DC projects. Given that this is Gunn’s first foray into the DCU since he was made CEO it’s a very valid question. Gunn assured the audience that you wouldn’t have to have watched other DC content, but there will be some cool Easter Eggs for fans. It was confirmed that Frank Grillo’s Rick Flag Sr. will have an important role in the DCU. He will already be appearing in Superman and in Peacemaker Season 2.
And we also got a trailer!
Of course people wanted to know more about Gunn’s upcoming DC content. Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow already has its director, Craig Gillespie and Milly Alcock’s screen test has already taken place. The screenplay will be written by Ana Nogueira and filming is expected to begin in England in January.
