Creature Commandos is all set to premiere next week on Max and with it, James Gunn's brand-new DC Universe is set to begin as well. Featuring a cast of monsters that are thrust into saving the world in a brand new dangerous mission, the series will feature actors like Viola Davis, Frank Grillo, Steve Agee, Alan Tudy, and more as they bring these DC comic characters to life.
Creature Commandos will officially be the first project to kick off this new continuity of DC films and shows. It will be connected to previous projects like The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker in some capacity, but it will also be establishing a new canon and continuity. This is the continuity that all future DC projects will be connected to unless they are Elseworlds projects like The Batman - Part II.
The show will also feature characters like Rick Flag Sr., Amanda Waller, Weasel, Frankenstein, and more.
The cast list of Creature Commandos explored
Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr.
Actor Frank Grillo will be voicing Rick Flag Sr. in Creature Commandos.
