Returning and New Members in Creature Commandos Season 2
James Gunn revealed the seven core members leading Task Force M in Season 2, combining returning favorites with unique first-time additions. Moreover, this lineup reflects the show’s evolving tone, which blends monster action with heartfelt character development. As a result, Season 2 promises a richer balance of intense battles and emotional storytelling.
Returning Core Members
- The Bride (Indira Varma)
- Doctor Phosphorus (Alan Tudyk)
- Weasel (Sean Gunn)
- A new and improved G.I. Robot, now featuring bulkier, reinforced armor
These returning characters set the foundation for Season 2’s emotional growth and expanded world-building.
New Characters Joining the Team

- King Shark – returning from The Suicide Squad
With these additions, the series moves further into mythological and horror-inspired territory while maintaining its signature dark humor.
Emotional Arcs and Character Growth in Creature Commandos
Season 2 will not only introduce new threats but also explore deeper emotional layers within the returning characters, making the storytelling more compelling and accessible.
The Bride’s Leadership and Personal Journey
Indira Varma teased meaningful growth for The Bride, hinting at her character’s evolving relationship with Eric Frankenstein. According to her, the previously,
“unrequited love might become requited love,”
which could redefine her emotional stability and leadership within Task Force M.
Furthermore, she suggested that The Bride may finally confront her trauma—becoming an even more formidable and grounded force.
JusticeforWeasel Confirmed
James Gunn previously revealed the truth about Weasel’s Season 1 backstory, confirming he was wrongly blamed for the children’s deaths. In Season 2, the show will finally address this revelation, offering Weasel redemption and, hopefully, justice.
Gunn’s Take on Adding a Mummy
When asked about including Khalis, Gunn humorously admitted,
“I’ve never been a big mummy guy. I’m a werewolf guy, to be honest with you.”
Despite that, Khalis appears to bring a creative twist to the team’s monster lineup.
Potential Surprise Returns in Creature Commandos Season 2
While not officially confirmed, several familiar characters may be making a comeback. This adds intrigue, and fans are already buzzing about who may return and why.
Possible Returning Characters
- Eric Frankenstein (David Harbour):
His bond with The Bride makes his return highly likely, especially considering her Season 2 arc. - Nina Mazursky (Zoë Chao):
The actress hinted the character “can come back in other ways,” suggesting possible flashbacks, hallucinations, or even resurrection. - Rick Flag Sr. (Frank Grillo):
Although his villainous turn in Peacemaker Season 2 shook fans, Grillo admitted he has heard “recent updates” about the series, which could indicate a return.
These possibilities add depth to Season 2, giving the world of Creature Commandos more continuity with the wider DCU.
Creature Commandos Season 2 Production Status
As of now, no official release date has been announced for Season 2. However, fans can expect updates soon, especially since Season 1 premiered on HBO Max on December 5, 2024.
Because Creature Commandos plays a key role in the new DCU Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters, its timeline will tie closely with upcoming DCU films and series.
With returning heroes, newly added monsters, and emotional character arcs, Creature Commandos Season 2 promises to elevate the DCU’s supernatural storytelling. Additionally, James Gunn’s unique character choices are expected to deepen the mythology of the franchise, setting up even more crossovers and connections.
