The Creature Commandos Season 2 Update brings encouraging news for DCU fans. Sean Gunn has confirmed that voice recording for the upcoming season has already begun.
The actor also teased more appearances for Maxwell Lord while confirming that two of his Creature Commandos characters will return. During an interview with Brandon Davis, Gunn was asked which of his DCU characters fans could see next. The choices included Weasel, G.I. Robot, Maxwell Lord, and Kraglin from the MCU.
Creature Commandos Season 2 Update Confirms Recording
The biggest detail from the Creature Commandos Season 2 Update is that recording is already underway.
“Well, I can tell you that we’ve been recording season two of Creature Commandos. So, G.I.[Robot] and Weasel are on the docket somewhere,” Sean said.
Sean Gunn’s comments confirm that production has moved forward behind the scenes. However, DC Studios has not revealed the full story for the new season. Gunn voices both Weasel and G.I. Robot. Weasel previously appeared in The Suicide Squad before returning for the animated series. G.I. Robot, meanwhile, became one of the key characters introduced during the first season.
Sean Gunn Teases More Maxwell Lord Appearances
Gunn also provided a cryptic update about Maxwell Lord.
“And we will be seeing Maxwell Lord again more than once, but I am not allowed to say where or when.”
The statement does not confirm that Maxwell Lord will appear in Season 2. Instead, it suggests that Gunn’s version of the character has a future across the wider DCU. Gunn has previously expressed enthusiasm about playing Lord. He even described the character as “my favorite” role to play.
He also said that Lord has become “a part of” his ongoing DCU work. That comment suggests fans may see the character in multiple projects.
Weasel and G.I. Robot Return for Season 2
The Creature Commandos Season 2 Update specifically confirms Weasel and G.I. Robot as part of the new season. Both characters played important roles in the first season. Weasel already had a history in James Gunn’s DC projects, while G.I. Robot received a much larger role through the animated series.
Their return gives the new season a direct connection to the original team. However, Gunn did not reveal how much screen time either character will receive. The actor also did not disclose whether other members of the team will return.
Sean Gunn’s Growing DCU Role
Sean Gunn has become one of the more unusual recurring performers in the DCU because he plays multiple characters. His work includes Weasel and G.I. Robot in Creature Commandos. He also plays Maxwell Lord, a separate character who can appear in the live-action side of the franchise.
The Creature Commandos Season 2 Update therefore adds another layer to Gunn’s expanding DCU involvement. His comments also suggest that Maxwell Lord’s story could continue beyond a single appearance. However, the specific projects and release order remain unknown.
Creature Commandos Season 2 Was Renewed in 2024
DC Studios renewed Creature Commandos for a second season in December 2024, while the first season was still airing. The early renewal confirmed that the animated series would continue as part of James Gunn and Peter Safran’s developing DCU.
The first season introduced a team of unusual characters and established connections to the larger DC universe. It also served as one of the first projects in the new DCU continuity. Now, the Creature Commandos Season 2 Update confirms that work on the new episodes is already underway.
Season 2 Release Date and Story Remain Secret
Despite the new production update, major details remain under wraps. DC Studios has not announced a confirmed premiere date for the second season. The studio has also not revealed the complete returning cast or the main storyline.
Gunn’s comments only confirm that Weasel and G.I. Robot are involved. His Maxwell Lord tease is even more mysterious because he specifically declined to reveal where or when the character will appear.
For now, the Creature Commandos Season 2 Update confirms that recording has started while leaving the DCU’s next moves for Sean Gunn’s characters open to speculation.
