James Gunn has announced eight new cast members for Creature Commandos.

DC Studioco-leadJames Gunnannounced eight new cast members for the first project in his DCU reboot.

The first person to get officially castwas Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr.

DC David Harbour Maria Bakalova Justice League

The actor previously teased his involvement with the new DCU,having alluded in two separate Instagram stories.

In the comics, the character has ties toThe Suicide Squad, much like his son.

So it’s easy to see how Harbour would almost certainly enjoy getting a crack at this role.

Creature Commandos, Rick Flag Sr., Frank Grillo

The character is a radioactive supervillain whose body chemistry was fundamentally altered after being exposed to a reactor core.

Living up to his new namesake, his body burns like an eternal flame.

Good thing she already has another big role in the books to ride that momentum.

Frankenstein, David Harbour

Unlike the rest of the cast, little is known about her character, Princess Ilana Rostovic.

However, it seems that Gunn created an entirely original role for the actress.

On top of returning as Weasel fromThe Suicide Squad, he’ll also bring GI Robot to life.

DC/Indira Varma

Mazursky included herself in these experiments, turning her into an amphibian woman.

It’s not King Sharkyet.

Instead, Agee will be back as agent John Economos.

DC/Alan Tudyk

Fury of the Gods.
