DC Universe

The “Creature Commandos” can speak!

The animated series — which is set to premiere in 2024 as the first title in the new DC Universe headed by James Gunn and Peter Safran — unveiled its voice cast featuring David Harbour, Indira Varma, Alan Tudyk, Maria Bakalova, Zoe Chao, Steve Agee and more.

Varma will voice the show’s main protagonist, Bride of Frankenstein, a version of the classic horror character; Frank Grillo will play Rick Flag Sr., the father of Joel Kinnaman’s Rick Flag, Jr. from 2021’s “The Suicide Squad” (written and directed by Gunn); Harbour will voice Eric Frankenstein, a version of the classic monster and ostensible love interest for the Bride; Chao will voice Nina Mazursky, an amphibious scientist; Gunn will voice G.I. Robot, a military android; and Tudyk will voice Doctor Phosphorus, who is permanently radioactive (and often a Batman villain).

They join Sean Gunn, who is reprising his role as Weasel from 2021’s “The Suicide Squad,” and Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, a role she’s played in the DC space since 2016’s “Suicide Squad.” (Davis is also set to headline the live-action series “Waller,” also due in 2024.)

Gunn has written every episode of the series.

In the DC comics, the Creature Commandos were a precursor to the Suicide Squad, brought together during World War II to fight against the Nazis. The inclusion of Davis as Waller, however, indicates that the series’ timeline will be updated in some fashion.

The casting of the actors is doubly significant: When Gunn and Safran announced the first 10 titles of the new DCU at a press event in late January, they stressed that virtually all of the actors who voice the characters on the animated series will also perform as them should they appear in a future live-action DC production.

Collider broke the news, which Gunn confirmed on Twitter.

Do I like Sean Gunn being cast as a THIRD character in this universe? Not particularly, would have just kept him as just Weasel but I get it, family stuff.

David Harbour as Frankenstein though? You have my attention.

 

[Sabretooth]

Well well well. Looks like we’re on our way.

 

[Y2Jayne]

I'm already sold on this just for the cast, but this sounds like another Suicide Squad.

We are now in the faction era of cape movies.

Badass Trailer for sure I'm going to see this one.

Yeesh I wasn't expecting the drop to be this brutal

"There is a superhero in all of us. We just need the courage to put on the cape."

I don't know neither but congrats to them.

 

[Sabretooth]

I legit knew Corenswet was gonna be cast when I read the shortlist. He easily has the looks to play a young Clark Kent. I’ve never seen him in anything so idk about his acting but if James Gunn likes him I’m sure he’s good.

 

[Deezy]

Dude looks skinny.....better get on those Marvel vitamins.

Also, Flash apparently lost the studio 200 mil.....you know, probably could've recouped that by milking the Keaton Batman a second time with that Batgirl movie.

Yeah Warner Bros is legit just hemorrhaging money with these DC movies

If James Gunn can’t get this shit back on track they’re fucking doomed. Just stick to making Batman movies and leave the rest alone.

 

[Y2Jayne]

They picked the least pretty actress out of the three that were considered but Gunn's casting rarely disappoints.
