James Gunn will make his acting debut this year biocommando This is DC Studios’ first shared universe animated series, with characters that will be introduced in series and live-action projects. This commitment makes this premise unique, with the likes of David Harbor (stranger things), Indira Varma (doctor who) and Frank Grillo (identified in the series as Rick Flag Sr.) peacemaker Season 2).
Beyond that, we’ll probably see more of James Gunn doing what he does best at DC Studios. In an interview with Wrap, biocommando Executive producer Dean Lorey (“ Harley Quinn and Kite Man: Oh my God!) shared an update on the show: “This will be the first expression of James Gunn’s DC Universe. We are considering this setting, and I think it tonally expresses his vision of the direction of the universe.” Lorre continued Describing it as “nothing new”; it’s Amanda Waller assembling yet another new gang of anti-heroes to tell a comeuppance story, but this time it’s monsters. We think we followed that, but it’s also a bit of a headache.
Lorre continued: “This is suicide squad. He did it,” he elaborated, taking the risk of sounding good… There was no risk, which is disappointing because we like Gunn to be generally a risk-taker. The rest feels a bit like whiplash text gymnastics: “People won’t be surprised by what it’s about, but I think they’ll be encouraged by how completely it will inform the new version of the DCU, which I’m really excited about.” That’s a pretty big endorsement. , both lowering expectations and confusing us about what we’re excited about.
Previously, David Harbour, who plays the classic monster in the series, has hyped biocommando io9 opined “…very different. I mean, it’s James Gunn’s mind, so it’s quirky, but also full of depth and complexity. To me, the most interesting thing about Frankenstein’s Monster is, He’s created to be this erudite, smart, romantic, brilliant guy, and he ends up being a monster. I mean, that complexity can lead to some pretty mature comedy, but it can also lead to pathos – one. People who think they are one thing are seen by others as something very different.
Harbor continued. “That’s the broadest, most mysterious way I can say it, because I just know the script is really great. What we’re recording is really great. I’ve seen the art, and James is a genius. I think it’s going to be really fun, It’s very exciting and it opens up a whole new door to the DC Universe as to how these characters will take over the world. I love the concept of the back and forth between live action and cartoons.
biocommando Max will be available this year.
