DC Studios boss James Gunn gives a newCreature Commandos update and confirms a major Wonder Woman villain will be featured in theDC Universe TV show. 2023 brought an end tothe DCEU timeline, but as one franchise has concluded, Gunn and Peter Safran's DC Universe is finally closer to starting. WhileSuperman: Legacy is scheduled to be the inaugural DC Universe movie in 2025,Creature Commandos will be the first project from DC Studios to arrive in 2024.

Even thoughtheCreature Commandos cast was revealed a year ago, no release date has been set yet beyond a late 2024 debut. However, a huge character from DC Comics will make their way into Gunn's animated show when it premieres this year on Max.

When asked by @dcugunn ifThe Witcher's Anya Chalotra is indeed set to play Circe inCreature Commandos, Gunn finally provided an update. Gunn, who wrote all theCreature Commandos episodes, confirmed her casting and added that"there are other cool characters in the show played by other cool actors. But all of the series regulars were announced."This confirmation comes nearly five months afterChalotra's CV listedCreature Commandos.

How Will Circe Fit Into The Creature Commandos TV Show?

Anya Chalotra's character will likely be a villain, but she won't be a series regular

While Gunn has yet to reveal how Circe factors intoCreature Commandos,it wouldn't be shocking if she ends up being one of the villains in the series, if not the main foe. With Circe essentially being a god, and therefore one of Wonder Woman's most dangerous villains, positioning her against theCreature Commandos team would set up a huge threat for them. There is also the potential that she is part of a larger villainous group that will take on the Creature Commandos.

Given that Gunn strongly suggested Chalotra's Circe is not a series regular,Creature Commandos is more than likely going to have other villains involved in some capacity. The bigger question, however, iswhether Circe's presence will be able to give the audience an idea of what Wonder Woman's status is at this point in the franchise. Since the DC Universe will be dealing with heroes who are already established, it wouldn't be a big surprise if Diana and Circe have already been at war with each other many times.

Time will tell what the larger story ofCreature Commandos is, as DC Studios has still been very limited in releasing plot details at this point. Nevertheless, with this being the first DC Universe animated show, it will be exciting to see howCreature Commandos weaves into the larger arc stretching across TV and film. Hopefully, it won't be much longer until the firstCreature Commandos trailer is released, as that would give an idea of when the show will actually premiere on Max.
