The \u201cCreature Commandos<\/a>\u201d can speak!<\/p>\n

The animated series \u2014 which is set to premiere in 2024 as the first title in the new DC Universe headed by James Gunn and Peter Safran \u2014 unveiled its voice cast featuring David Harbour, Indira Varma, Alan Tudyk, Maria Bakalova, Zoe Chao, Steve Agee and more.<\/p>\n

Varma\u00a0<\/strong>will voice the show\u2019s main protagonist, Bride of Frankenstein, a version of the classic horror character; Frank Grillo will play Rick Flag Sr., the father of Joel Kinnaman\u2019s Rick Flag, Jr. from 2021\u2019s \u201cThe Suicide Squad\u201d (written and directed by Gunn); Harbour will voice Eric Frankenstein, a version of the classic monster and ostensible love interest for the Bride; Chao will voice Nina Mazursky, an amphibious scientist; Gunn will voice G.I. Robot, a military android; and Tudyk will voice Doctor Phosphorus, who is permanently radioactive (and often a Batman villain).<\/p>\n

They join Sean Gunn, who is reprising his role as Weasel from 2021\u2019s \u201cThe Suicide Squad,\u201d and Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, a role she\u2019s played in the DC space since 2016\u2019s \u201cSuicide Squad.\u201d (Davis is also set to headline the live-action series \u201cWaller,\u201d also due in 2024.)<\/p>\n

Gunn has written every episode of the series.<\/p>\n

In the DC comics, the Creature Commandos were a precursor to the Suicide Squad, brought together during World War II to fight against the Nazis. The inclusion of Davis as Waller, however, indicates that the series\u2019 timeline will be updated in some fashion.<\/p>\n

The casting of the actors is doubly significant: When Gunn and Safran\u00a0announced<\/a>\u00a0the first 10 titles of the new DCU at a press event in late January, they stressed that virtually all of the actors who voice the characters on the animated series will also perform as them should they appear in a future live-action DC production.<\/p>\n

Collider<\/a>\u00a0broke the news, which Gunn confirmed on Twitter.<\/p>\n
