The Creature Commandos might return ahead of followers assume! James Gunn gives an fascinating replace on the DC Universe’s flagship animated collection.

With all the joy within the DC Universe fandom over the previous yr, it’s straightforward to neglect that James Gunn truly kicked off the brand new period of the franchise with an animated collection based mostly on the Creature Commandos. And, not like most exhibits within the realm of status franchises, the collection was truly renewed for a season 2 shortly after its first season wrapped.

But now a yr from the finale of the primary season, followers have been itching for any replace on season 2. Fortunately, it appears as if James Gunn hasn’t been silent because of an absence of movement. The author revealed that Creature Commandos is already in manufacturing, suggesting that animation and voice work for the DC Universe venture is underway.

“[The Creature Commandos will return] after we’re performed animating the brand new season,” James Gunn wrote on Threads. “Which is in manufacturing now.”

Creature Commandos’ Place In The DC Universe

In fact, one of many huge questions on everybody’s thoughts heading into season 2 is when precisely within the DC Universe will Creature Commandos happen. The franchise lately launched Salvation, a secret jail for Metahumans that might be integral to the subsequent season’s story. Whereas James Gunn didn’t say a lot, he did verify that the collection’ subsequent entry takes place “After” Peacemaker season 2.

Given James Gunn doubtless has extra management over Creature Commandos than most different DC Universe initiatives, it’s doubtless that season 2 at the very least touched on the Salvation storyline began in Peacemaker. Although with Dean Lorey taking on the function as showrunner, it’s potential that the present diverges a tiny bit from Gunn’s unique plans.

Creature Commandos season 1 is presently streaming on Max. Keep tuned for the newest information relating to the way forward for the DC Universe!
