James Gunn took the opportunity at SDCC to unveil the first look at his DC Studios animated series Creature Commandos, which promises a spooky good time.
The series was first announced in January 2023, when Gunn announced his plans to relaunch DC with co-chair Peter Safran. Many were thrilled to see the filmmaker dipping into horror so early into his DC Studios run. The seven-episode series for Max, written entirely by Gunn, has a new trailer that packs quite the punch.
In what feels like an animated version of what we’ve come to know from The Suicide Squad, Creature Commandos sees horror-inspired superheroes led into battle by a returning Viola Davis, voicing Amanda Waller.
The series’ voice cast includes David Harbour, Indira Varma, Alan Tudyk, Maria Bakalova, Zoe Chao, and Steve Agee. Varma voices the Bride of Frankenstein; Harbour voices Eric Frankenstein, a version of the classic monster and love interest for the Bride; Frank Grillo plays Rick Flag Sr.; Chao plays Nina Mazursky, an amphibious scientist; Sean Gunn voices G.I. Robot, a military android; and Tudyk voices Doctor Phosphorus.

Creature Commandos is set for release this December on Max.
