Definitely not one for the kids on a Saturday morning, the first installment in the rebooted DCU looks to be as full of crude humour, insane gore and naughty words as Gunn’s cinematic take on The Suicide Squad and his first Max DC show Peacemaker. Written by the new DC head honcho himself, Creature Commandos tells a similar story to the villain ensemble, but this time it's the most monstrous villains the comic book world has to offer that are tasked with missions they’re not necessarily expected to come back from.
Making up the group are some characters pulled from the deepest pages of DC comics and voiced by some well known talent, including Frank Grillo as leader Rick Flag Sr., David Harbour as Eric Frankenstein, Indira Varma as The Bride, Sean Gunn on double duty voicing Weasel and G.I. Robot and Alan Tudyk as Clayface, among others. What’s more, Gunn has promised that the casting will remain consistent going forward, meaning the same faces/voices will appear across TV, movies and video games.
Expect utter carnage, but as fans of the writer/director’s previous work will attest, don’t be surprised to find yourself a little misty-eyed at points too.
Set to be the next Suicide Squad, Max’s new animated series looks like more bonkers comic book chaos from James Gunn. So read on for how to watch Creature Commandos online, on TV and from anywhere.
