James Gunn fans may not be surprised by the direction of the upcoming “Creature Commandos” animated series, but that’s not a bad thing if you ask executive producer Dean Lorey.

“That’s going to be the first expression of James Gunn’s DC Universe. We’re considering that canon, and I think it expresses his perspective, tonally, on where he wants the universe to go,” Lorey told TheWrap in an interview during the Television Critics Association’s 2024 summer tour.

Lorey noted that the Max show, which follows government official Amanda Waller as she develops a black ops team of monsters, is “nothing new.”
