The ongoing writers' and actors' strikes have thrown off the production schedules for DC's upcoming movies and TV shows - as well as that of just about anything in Hollywood. However, James Gunn gives fans some promising news forone of the projects for Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters.
Creature Commandos, an upcoming animated series, received a significant update amid the ongoing strike. According to a report by The Direct, Gunn confirmed that the first season of the animated series will have seven episodes.
Gunn also confirmed that the voice work for Creature Commandos has already been completed. The director gave a simple "Yes" when asked about the completion of the voice recordings, as is his usual approach to such confirmations.
This is positive news and may mean that the upcoming TV series will avoid lengthy delays caused by the Writer's Guild of America (WGA) and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Writers and actors are prohibited from working on movies and TV shows while the strike is in effect. There are exceptions to the rule but DC projects do not qualify as actors and writers can only work on truly independent films and shows.
Creature Commandos will be an R-rated animated series and is set in the present day. The series follows a team of military superhumans as they complete special missions. There have been rumors that the show may introduce Dinosaur Island and be related to a future Justice League film.
