Now that we're weeks away from the animated series Creature Commandos, we're officially kicking off the brand-new DC Universe with Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters. Since the brand's massive shift announcement in 2022, co-CEO James Gunn has been nonstop busy between his involvement on this series and 2025's Superman and Peacemaker Season 2. Considering the multi-hyphenate took over what's now heralded as the DCU after helming one of Marvel Studio's most epic superhero trilogies, it's little wonder this new universe draws so many comparisons and expectations — but in this interview, Gunn sets the record straight.
Creature Commandos, which features the vocal talents of David Harbour, Zoë Chao, Alan Tudyk, Frank Grillo, Sean Gunn, Viola Davis, and Indira Varma (all of whom could make live-action appearances as their series characters), is the first official project that will restart the on-screen DCU, but fans shouldn't be expecting the same formulaic roadmap as the MCU. Yes, there is an outline of which characters Gunn intends to explore, but nothing is going to be churned out without the perfect script.
In this conversation with Collider's Steve Weintraub, Creature Commandos showrunner Dean Lorey and Gunn tell us, "It all comes down to the writing." If the screenplay isn't perfect, the project isn't moving forward. When asked about his iteration of Batman, Gunn says there's no pressure to meet a timeline-specific date. He laments the idea of filmmakers wasting potential on stories with no third act, and drops Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow as the prime example of a green-lit series that was script-ready. The DC duo also discuss the deeply emotional narrative of Creature Commandos, how "this show, at its core, is really a tragedy," and addresses fan questions like what's still canon from before, what's with Rick Flag Sr.'s hair, and tons more.
