James Gunn Writing Animated DC Series "CREATURE COMMANDOS" For HBO Max

The DC News just keeps on coming and one thing we’ve noticed is that Horror is going to play a major part in this first chapter of the new DC Universe by being dubbed “Gods and Monsters” by new head honcho, James Gunn.

In addition to the new Swamp Thing movie that was announced today, Gunn dived into another project he has been working on in the animated series “Creature Commandos” for HBO Max.

Gunn is writing every episode of “Creature Commandos,” which is particularly exciting. In fact, the show is already in production, so it should be coming our way very soon.

Variety details, “The Creature Commando characters were first launched in 1980. The premise features Frankenstein’s monster teaming up with a werewolf, a vampire and a gorgon to fight Nazis in World War II. It doesn’t appear that Gunn’s version takes quite the same approach — Weasel, one of the characters from Gunn’s 2021 film “The Suicide Squad,” is one of the Commandos, along with Rick Flag’s father, Rick Flag Sr.”

“Gunn said that the actors cast to voice the characters on the show will also play the roles in live action later on in the DCU,” Variety’s report on all of today’s big DC news continues.

Gunn further explains, “Animation will lead into live action and back into animation. It’s a way to tell stories that are gigantic and huge without spending $50M an episode.”
