The Creature Commandos could return earlier than followers assume! James Gunn offers an fascinating replace on the DC Universe’s flagship animated collection.
With all the thrill within the DC Universe fandom over the previous 12 months, it’s simple to overlook that James Gunn truly kicked off the brand new period of the franchise with an animated collection primarily based on the Creature Commandos. And, in contrast to most reveals within the realm of status franchises, the collection was truly renewed for a season 2 shortly after its first season wrapped.
But now a 12 months from the finale of the primary season, followers have been itching for any replace on season 2. Fortunately, it appears as if James Gunn hasn’t been silent as a result of a scarcity of movement. The author revealed that Creature Commandos is already in manufacturing, suggesting that animation and voice work for the DC Universe undertaking is underway.
“[The Creature Commandos will return] after we’re finished animating the brand new season,” James Gunn wrote on Threads. “Which is in manufacturing now.”
Creature Commandos’ Place In The DC Universe
After all, one of many large questions on everybody’s thoughts heading into season 2 is when precisely within the DC Universe will Creature Commandos happen. The franchise just lately launched Salvation, a secret jail for Metahumans that may very well be integral to the following season’s story. Whereas James Gunn didn’t say a lot, he did affirm that the collection’ subsequent entry takes place “After” Peacemaker season 2.
Given James Gunn probably has extra management over Creature Commandos than most different DC Universe tasks, it’s probably that season 2 at the least touched on the Salvation storyline began in Peacemaker. Although with Dean Lorey taking up the function as showrunner, it’s attainable that the present diverges a tiny bit from Gunn’s authentic plans.
Creature Commandos season 1 is presently streaming on Max. Keep tuned for the newest information relating to the way forward for the DC Universe!
