Creature Commandos Swag Offers Best Look Yet at Animated Team

Superman: Legacy actress Sara Sampaio (Eve Teschmacher) posted some Creature Commandos swag offering our best look yet at the animated team.

Well, this was a nice surprise! We were more than happy to have just one update on DC Studios' James Gunn & Peter Safran's upcoming animated series based on writer J. M. DeMatteis & artist Pat Broderick's Creature Commandos – especially when it involves learning that Anya Chalotra (The Witcher) was taking on the role of Circe – one of the more prominent villains in Wonder Woman's rogues gallery. But thanks to Superman: Legacy actress Sara Sampaio (Eve Teschmacher), we have a new look at the animated team to pass along – courtesy of some Creature Commandos swag that Sampaio received that she shared on Instagram Stories. As impressive as the intro artwork was, the newest image gives a full-body look at each character.

The role call for the adult animated series (and any potential live-action takes) 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, David Harbour as Eric Frankenstein, and Sean Gunn as G.I. Robot & Weasel, and Steve Agee returning as John Economos. Now, here's a look at Sampaio's post from earlier today:

Creature Commandos: J. M. DeMatteis on James Gunn's DCU Approach

"James [Gunn] and I had a very nice conversation about 'Creature Commandos' and other things…but that's all it was: a pleasant conversation. I'm not involved in any upcoming projects," DeMatteis shared in a tweet/x earlier this evening. But in a follow-up tweet/x, DeMatteis made sure to let everyone know that the DCU is in "great hands" with Gunn, adding, "Let me add that I think the DC TV/movie universe is in great hands with James Gunn. He's a fan. He understands and respects the source material and the creators." Here's a look at DeMatteis' tweets from back in October 2023:

First introduced 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.
