Creature Commandos Release Schedule & Max Streaming Time

Creature Commandos: The Launch of a New Era in the DC Universe

The highly anticipated Creature Commandos is set to debut on Max, marking the official launch of James Gunn’s new DC Universe (DCU). Fans should be ready to stream Episode 1 promptly to catch this fresh and exciting addition to the franchise.

From DCEU to DCU: A New Beginning

The journey began in 2013 with the release of Man of Steel, which kicked off the DCEU—a series that has seen its fair share of highs and lows, often overshadowed by the tremendous success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The DCEU concluded with Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.

Now, under the stewardship of James Gunn and Peter Safran, Warner Bros is primed to revitalize the franchise with the DCU. The official kickoff is slated for 2025 with a new Superman film, featuring David Corenswet in the iconic role.

Creature Commandos centers around Task Force M, a special unit formed by Amanda Waller, with Rick Flag Sr. at the helm. Their mission? To safeguard the princess of Polokistan from the enigmatic Circe, a rogue Amazon.

This eccentric ensemble is selectively comprised of members from the Non-Human Internment Division, showcasing characters such as the Bride, Doctor Phosphorus, Nina Mazursky, G.I. Robot, and Weasel—a familiar face from The Suicide Squad.

In Gunn’s own words, this series draws parallels to Guardians of the Galaxy but lacks the sentimental core that defines his previous works. He elaborates on the inherent complexity of each character, making them unpredictable and engaging.

Interestingly, while Creature Commandos is not intended to formally launch the DCU, it serves as an appetizer for what’s to come. Gunn has shared insights into the series’ rapid development—writing all seven episodes in a remarkably short timeframe before stepping into his role as co-head of DC Studios.

Meet the Characters of Creature Commandos

Though Creature Commandos features a diverse cast, two characters stand out as leads: the Bride (voiced by Indira Varma) and Rick Flag Sr. (portrayed by Frank Grillo). The supporting cast includes:

Alan Tudyk as Doctor Phosphorus
Sean Gunn as G.I. Robot and Weasel
Zoë Chao as Nina Mazursky
David Harbour as Eric Frankenstein
