James Gunn unveiled the first trailer for the upcoming animated series ‘Creature Commandos’ yesterday at San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC).
Gunn’s ‘Creature Commandos’ is part of the new DC Universe created by him and Peter Safran. The series will be the first project in their revamped DCU. During the Jim Lee & Friends panel at SDCC, Gunn shared that he wrote all seven episodes of the series, and it is currently in production:
“‘Creature Commandos’ is based on the great team from DC. What we’re doing with the DCU is, we are having animation tied directly into live action. Television, movies, and games all intertwine within the same universe. We’re going to cast actors who are going to be able to play the characters in this as well as in other things, some of which we’ve already cast. I’ve written all seven episodes of the show, and it’s in production. So that’s the first thing, and I love it.”
Gunn also shared a teaser for the show on Twitter, which you can watch below.
