Despite several shows facing strike-related delays, James Gunn says Creature Commandos is still set to kick off the new DCU in 2024.
"Yes, Creature Commandos is all set to come out in 2024. There have never been any delays, thank goodness," Gunn said, in response to rumors that the show had been moved to 2025. "Any info otherwise is a well-intentioned mistake or misspeaking."
The team of mutant heroes, created by J.M DeMatteis and Pat Broderick, first appeared in Weird War Tales back in 1980. The seven-episode animated series sees Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) create a black ops team of monstrous prisoners – including a vampire, a werewolf, and a gorgon.
Creature Commandos will be the first installment in James Gunn and Peter Safran's DC Universe, with Peacemaker spin-off Waller– starring Viola Davis – set to be released the same year. Other new TV shows in the works from Gunn and co-CEO Peter Safran include Wonder Woman prequel Paradise Lost and Green Lantern series Lanterns. Superman: Legacy, the first DCU film, is set for a July 11, 2025 release date.
