As a dedicated fan who has been through the ups and downs of the DC Universe, I can confidently say that the upcoming series, ‘Creature Commandos‘, is poised to revolutionize our beloved universe. Having followed Frank Grillo’s career for quite some time now, his unwavering confidence in the show’s potential for a second season is more than just an actor’s optimism – it’s the conviction of a man who knows a good story when he sees one.
The action-packed series Creature Commandos, which is set to launch the DC Universe spearheaded by James Gunn and Peter Safran, is almost here. Star Frank Grillo expresses his confidence that only a catastrophic event could prevent a second season from materializing. Following the dissolution of Task Force X, better known as The Suicide Squad, Amanda Waller (played by Viola Davis) is back at Belle Reve prison, forming a fresh team composed of villains who are paranormal, undead, or anything but human. In this new setup, Frank Grillo portrays Rick Flag Sr., the leader of the group, and will play a significant role in the expanding DC Universe.
According to remarks made to Gamesradar+, actor Frank Grillo is nearly convinced that Creature Commandos will return for another season. In his own words, he stated, “Unless something unexpectedly goes wrong, I believe we’ll be witnessing Season 2.” The animated series has already garnered critical acclaim, with a near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes score of 100% following the end of review embargoes yesterday. Although this score has since dropped slightly to 93%, it still represents a significant improvement compared to the highly polarizing projects that characterized the old DC Universe.
“Unless something goes terribly awry, I think we’ll see a Season 2”
During the interview, Grillo shared his expectations for the upcoming season. In the first season, Waller assembles an eccentric group of super-monsters. Grillo expressed that it takes the entire season for them to function harmoniously as a team. Therefore, he hopes that in the second season, they will feel more cohesive and united. He elaborated on this by saying:
I’m excited to watch their progress throughout the season. I can’t wait to see how they grow as a team, because it often takes the entire season for them to function harmoniously and I’m curious about what the future holds. It all begins with me getting to know them and sometimes wondering, what is this all about? But then we become like a family.
Why ‘Creature Commandos’ Is Kickstarting the DCU
The forthcoming lineup of DC Universe (DCU) is jam-packed with thrilling ventures. Initially, James Gunn’s Superman marks the debut live-action film for the revamped franchise. Subsequently, DC Studios are working on multiple Batman spin-offs, a standalone Supergirl movie, a live-action Lanterns series, and additional projects. However, one might wonder why the DCU commences with an unusual animated series featuring lesser-known superheroes? Essentially, it was just ready before others according to James Gunn. In an interview with Den of Geek, he humorously commented:
“It was written.”
Apart from being an entertaining show in its own right, Creature Commandos also serves as a sneak peek into the diverse world of DC Universe. The animated series offers James Gunn the freedom to explore the supernatural characters as wildly and creatively as he desires. If you appreciate this style and atmosphere, then get ready for an exhilarating journey through the new DCU. However, Gunn assures us that each upcoming DCU project will have its unique flavor. For instance, the Lanterns series is rumored to be influenced by True Detective, while the forthcoming Swamp Thing movie is promised to be a full-on horror experience. In Gunn’s own words, “our goal is simply to tell many different stories.
