James Gunn has got everyone talking again, this time about Creature Commandos Season 2! He's been sharing some details that have got DC fans hyped. The show had a great first season, and now we're getting a new team for season two, with The Bride stepping up to lead the pack.
According to SuperHeroHype, it's clear that Gunn wants to fuse the animated and live-action worlds of the DC universe. For those who don't know, Creature Commandos will have some familiar faces coming back, like King Shark, who'll be voiced by Diedrich Bader, and some new folks joining the team, like Nosferata and Khalis.
It's all part of "Gods and Monsters" in the DCU, and everyone's excited to see how it all fits together. While we're not getting much info on whether these characters will show up in live-action, it's obvious that people are dying to see them.
The way Gunn is handling the voices makes it seem like it's all part of one big story, and that just makes fans even more eager to see where it goes next!
“Fans can expect surprises that expand the DCU in thrilling ways,” Gunn teased.
The Bride takes command in this new era for Task Force M on Creature Commandos
One of the most fascinating developments is The Bride, played by Indira Varma, taking the reins of Task Force M. In Creature Commandos Season 1, she hit a peak moment when she defeated Princess Ilana.
Now, she's the boss of a revamped team, which includes a souped-up G.I. Robot, the brought-back-to-life Khalis, and the kickass vampire Nosferata. These guys are all from the depths of DC's comic book world, and they spice things up with their unique personalities and pasts.
For die-hard fans, it's exciting to see Nosferata and Khalis join in. Khalis, being a mummy and all, brings this old-school, mystical vibe to the group. Nosferata is a vampire, so you can bet there'll be some intense scenes with her tearing things up.
The Bride's new role as the leader of Creature Commandos is a step in a more modern direction, according to Gunn, who seems pumped about it:
“Her journey exemplifies the resilience and complexity we’re striving for in this universe.”
King Shark returns in Creature Commandos
King Shark is making a comeback with a fresh voice, and it's none other than DC's very own Diedrich Bader taking the reins. You might remember that Sylvester Stallone brought him to life in The Suicide Squad, but now things are changing up a bit. This switcheroo has got everyone talking.
James Gunn made this casting choice to give the character a new spin on the world of cartoons while keeping the core of who King Shark is.
“Bader brings a unique charm that will resonate with both old and new fans,” Gunn explained.
By having King Shark in Creature Commandos, Gunn is playing matchmaker with his own DC universe. It connects the dots between Creature Commandos and The Suicide Squad and hints at what he's cooking up for the bigger picture.
Now, the big question on everyone's mind is whether Stallone will jump back into the role for any live-action shenanigans. We're all keeping our fingers crossed, but for now, we're just excited to see how Bader makes the character his own.
Creature Commandos expands the DCU with connections and future possibilities
Creature Commandos Season 2 is bringing some fresh faces, like Nosferata, Khalis, and a souped-up G.I. Robot, which gives us a peek into more complex stories happening in the DC world. After the credits roll, Eric Frankenstein's (played by David Harbour) comeback looks like he would stir up drama.
His love for The Bride could lead to storylines we might see in cartoons and movies. There's even talk about Sgt. Rock making his first appearance in a live-action movie directed by Luca Guadagnino, with Daniel Craig playing the lead. It might connect with the cartoon series, which is pretty neat.
“The DCU’s strength lies in its interconnected storytelling,” Gunn emphasized.
This all happens as the "Gods and Monsters" part of the DCU starts to unfold.
