“Creature Commandos” – James Gunn Writing Animated DC Series for HBO Max

In addition to a brand new Swamp Thing movie, the just-announced upcoming slate from DC – now that James Gunn and Peter Safran are in charge – also includes “Creature Commandos,” an animated series for HBO Max that should be of interest to horror fans.

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.”

The original team known as the “Creature Commandos” was introduced in Weird War Tales #93 (November 1980), and it was created by J. M. DeMatteis and Pat Broderick.

The Max Original series from Warner Bros. Television debuts with two episodes on Thursday, May 9, we’ve learned, followed by one new episode weekly through June 20 on Max.

Following the harrowing events of “Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin,” our Pretty Little Liars face a fate worse than death – summer school. However, Millwood High isn’t the only thing getting in the way of their fun summer jobs and new, dreamy love interests.

A new villain, who may or may not have a connection to A, has come to town and is going to put them all to the test.

Bailee Madison, Chandler Kinney, Zaria, Malia Pyles, and Maia Reficco return as the next generation of Pretty Little Liars.

The series also stars Mallory Bechtel, Sharon Leal, Alex Aiono, Jordan Gonzalez, and Elias Kacavas.
