Whether we like it or not, Warner Bros Discovery and DC Studios are seriously gearing up to start James Gunn and Peter Safran’s DC Universe, a new cinematic universe based on DC characters that will replace the DC Extended Universe. DCEU will be concluded at the end of this year with Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, and judging by the studios’ decisions after the release of Shazam: Fury of the Gods, we’re not sure that either WBD or James Gunn care how these last few DCEU movies will perform at the box office.

Last February, James Gunn uncovered the first projects that DCU would spawn in this first Chapter, officially called Gods and Monsters. We can expect everything, from live-action movies and live-action TV shows to animated TV shows, and Gunn even teased that some upcoming video games will be incorporated into the franchise. One of the animated TV shows is The Creature Commandos, which will feature a homonymous team of military superheroes that fought against the Axis powers during World War II.

The Creature Commandos will be an animated mini-series developed for MAX, a rebranded streaming service that will replace HBOMax in May 2023. Recently we’ve learned which actors will have main voice roles in the series, and now James Gunn has confirmed that we’ll watch this series before the DCU movie Superman: Legacy releases in theaters.

Superman: Legacy, written and directed by Gunn, is set to be released in July 2025. That movie was announced as the first movie set in the DCU, but the franchise will kick off in 2024 because that’s when we can expect Creature Commandos to premiere on MAX.

DC’s Creature Commandos will star the MCU stars Frank Grillo and David Harbour, as well as Game of Thrones and Obi-Wan Kenobi star Indira Varma, Guardians of the Galaxy star Sean Gunn, and the veteran voice actor Alan Tudyk, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 star Maria Bakalova and Strangers star Zoe Chao. Viola Davis will also reprise her role as Amanda Waller, and James Gunn will serve as the writer and showrunner. The series is set to premiere on MAX in 2024.

Lukas Abramovich is a freelance writer and photo and video editor based in Croatia. He's also a web designer and holds a Master’s degree in general Computer Science from the Faculty of Informatics based in Pula, Croatia. Since 2018, Lukas has worked on several portals writing about movies, TV shows, and video games. He's currently writing articles for two of them: Fiction Horizon and Comic Basics. He also has a YouTube channel in his native language, and the content there is mostly reviewing popular movies and TV shows. Lukas also has an Instagram page where he once used to post fan-made posters he made, which is something he would like to continue working on, as photo and video editing are also some of his passions. Lukas is a big movie lover who is okay with watching any kind of movie. His favorite movie is Michael Curtiz's Casablanca, but he's a loyal follower of Marvel and DC movies, as well as several other blockbuster franchises he's been following for years; Star Wars, Fast & Furious, Mission: Impossible, and James Cameron's Avatar are only some of them. His favorite director is Christopher Nolan, with Quentin Tarantino and Denis Villeneuve as honorable mentions. Lukas is also a big fan of four fantasy multimedia franchises; The Wizarding World, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Witcher, and The Lord of the Rings. He calls them "the four rulers of the fantasy genre." He loves to write about anything spawned from those franchises (books, games, movies...), as well as anything branded with the Marvel or DC logo. Video games and their adaptations are also something he follows faithfully since he's a big fan of story-driven single-player games like Assassin's Creed, The Last of Us, Uncharted, etc. His favorite video game ever is Red Dead Redemption 2.
