Creature Commandos: James Gunn Updates Spotify Playlist for Episode 4
James Gunn updated the Spotify playlist for DC Studios' Creature Commandos to include tracks for this week's episode - here's a look!
In well less than 24 hours, DC Studios co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran will have two major drops on their hands. Of course, there's the release of the official teaser trailer for Gunn's David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, and Nicholas Hoult-starring Superman. But let's not forget that we also have the fourth episode of Max's hit animated series Creature Commandos on the way – and that means that it's time for Gunn to share what he's added to the show's Spotify playlist to help set the mood for S01E04: "Chasing Squirrels" (directed by Sam Liu and written by Gunn): Gogol Bordello with "I Would Never Wanna Be Young Again" and "Not A Crime," and Kaizers Orchestra with "Hjerteknuser."
That brings us to our preview for this week's chapter, as the spotlight shifts to what it was that brought Weasel (Sean Gunn) to Belle Reve. Meanwhile, we learn more about what Circe's (Anya Chalotra) deal – while Circe has some more not-so-nice images of a possible future to share (with some very interesting characters being teased – though not exactly being shown at their best).
The roll call for Creature Commandos includes Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr., with Maria Bakalova as Princess Ilana Rostovic, Indira Varma as The Bride, Zoe Chao as Nina Mazursky, Alan Tudyk as Dr. Phosphorus, Clayface, and Will Magnus; David Harbour as Eric Frankenstein, Sean Gunn as G.I. Robot and Weasel; Steve Agee as John Economos, Anya Chalotra as Circe, and Viola Davis as Amanda Waller. In addition, we have Benjamin Byron Davis as Rupert Thorne, Michael Rooker as Sam, and Peter Serafinowicz as Victor Frankenstein. Linda Cardellini and Gregg Henry also joined the cast in guest star roles. Kevin Kiner and Clint Mansell (Peacemaker, Doom Patrol) are scoring the animated series. Now, here's a look back at the season preview that Gunn shared earlier this month – followed by the official promo for this week's episode:
First introduced by J.M. DeMatteis and Pat Broderick in Weird War Tales #93 (November 1980), the comic book series focused on Frankenstein's monster teaming with a werewolf, a vampire, and a gorgon to fight Nazis in World War II. The series has the distinction of being the first DCU project that Gunn & Safran gave the green light to (with Gunn having penned the series) and the first from DC Studios that will hit screens. In addition, the series is being cast with voice actors who could also play their characters in a live-action project down the road.
