DC Comics enthusiasts who were in San Diego for this year’s Comic Con knew that Jim Lee’s annual panel was the best place for major reveals. Lee is the current president, publisher and art director of DC, and he has packed his panel – titled “Jim Lee and Friends” – with guest stars and exciting reveals… most importantly the first look at the upcoming Creature animated film. Commandos, which will debut on Max in December. There were a number of exciting “firsts” in the trailer: first look at the animation; Listen first to the voices provided by the star-studded cast. But there are a handful of interesting plot threads I picked up through the trailer and an exclusive t-shirt I acquired at the Con. More on that in a second.
First, here’s the first official look at the Creature Commandos:
As the trailer begins, we see Rick Flag Sr. (Frank Grillo) meet Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) at Belle Reve, the secret government. And in the conversation, we are told that all Task Force X activities have stopped. Congress. I’m going to assume this is the result of the activities of Gunn’s The Suicide Squad movie. . . thus (loosely) connecting to this DCEU movie and this first step into the DCU.
Since Waller, who also has her own TV show as part of James Gunn’s DC master plan, can’t use humans on her mercenary team, she turns to monsters. Specifically, the characters of The Bride (Indira Varma), Doctor Phosphorus (Alan Tudyk), Nina Mazursky (Zoe Chao), Frankenstein (David Harbour), Weasel and G. I. Robot (both played by Sean Gunn). This is Task Force M – The Creature Commandos.
But what will your project be? For this, I put on my t-shirt.
DC brought a wave of new products to San Diego Comic Con this year, immediately promoting Superman tops that featured the new James Gunn logo and also giving away this cute Creature Commandos blouse that I was lucky enough to get my hands on. core team members and provide each of them with a quote or tagline. Here’s the blouse:
I focus on The Bride on the t-shirt, which says, “Let’s go kill a princess. ” Checking the cast list, it is revealed that Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 contributor Maria Bakalova will voice Princess Ilana Rostovic, meaning she will have to be the target of Task Force M in the animated series. Will she be a villain? Is she a rich and intelligent force that the Creature Commandos seek to defeat? In the Suicide Squad missions, the team of villains will have to figure out how to do something clever. I suspect this will also be the purpose of the Creature Commandos.
The character I’m most intrigued by in the Creature Commandos trailer is Nina Mazursky, voiced by Zoe Chao. It turns out that she is going through an existential crisis. And the quote on her Comic Con t-shirt says, “I don’t know how to kill someone. ” » An evil pacifist involved in Amanda Waller’s revenge mission? It’s a desirable plot twist.
We’ll see Creature Commandos in December, when the animated series (officially) launches on the DCU and will be available to audience members subscribed to Max.
