The time has almost come for the new DC Universe, or DCU, to begin. The first series under the umbrella of James Gunn’s new DC world is Creature Commandos, and it will debut on December 5. In celebration of this exciting new chapter of DC’s story, Max has released the official full trailer for Creature Commandos at New York Comic Con. You can check it out below.
In addition to the Creature Commandos trailer, Max also offered us a tantalizing synopsis for the show. The logline for the series shares, “CREATURE COMMANDOS tracks a secret team of incarcerated monsters recruited for missions deemed too dangerous for humans. When all else fails… they’re your last, worst option.“
The worst option for humanity, the most enjoyable option for us fans. Creature Commandos features an all star voice-cast that includes, “Steve Agee as Economos, Maria Bakalova as Princess Ilana, Anya Chalotra as Circe, Zoe Chao as Nina Mazursky, Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr., Sean Gunn as GI Robot & Weasel, David Harbour as Frankenstein, Alan Tudyk as Dr. Phosphorus, Indira Varma as The Bride, and Viola Davis as Amanda Waller.” Creature Commandos is written and executive produced by James Gunn.
In total, Creature Commandos will run for seven episodes, with its series finale hitting on January 16. Strap in; if this Creature Commandos trailer is anything to go by, it’s about to be a wild, dangerous, but seriously enjoyable ride. And since it’s the first outing for James Gunn’s DCU, we’re crossing our fingers it will really knock it out of the park. Creature Commandos might just set the tone for everything else to come.
