The Big Picture When starting a new canon, there's always anticipation for what will make its mark as the first. In an interview with The Wrap, Creature Commandos Executive Producer Dean Lorey says the upcoming Max show will be just that for the soft reboot of the DC Universe. James Gunn is at the helm. Gunn has already started putting his mark on both Marvel and DC with projects like Guardians of the Galaxy and The Suicide Squad .
Lorey says, however, that Creature Commandos is "going to be the first expression of James Gunn’s DC Universe. We’re considering that canon, and I think it expresses his perspective, tonally, on where he wants the universe to go." With the basic premise being Amanda Waller bringing together a special task force, the concept will not be unfamiliar to fans of The Suicide Squad.
“It’s ‘Suicide Squad.’ He’s done it. People aren’t going to be surprised by what it is, but I think they’ll be really encouraged to see how completely it’s going to inform this new version of the DCU, which I’m very excited about.” Animated DC Shows are Old Hat to Dean Lorey Close Creature Commandos is Gunn's first TV installment in the DC Universe, but not Lorey's. He's a cocreator of the Max animated series Harley Quinn and its upcoming spinoff series Kite-Man: Hell Yeah! Lorey says he stepped away from Harley Quinn for a few seasons, but is back for season 5. “I haven’t had anything to do with last couple of seasons, but it’s really fun.
The new Max show will consist of a group of monsters, rather than anti-heroes this time around, that Amanda Waller assembles. The cast so far includes: Rick Flag Sr. , Weasel , Dr. Phosphorus , the Bride of Frankenstein and Eric Frankenstein , and more.
