The MAX Original Series, Creature Commandos, has surprised audiences in 2024 by rethinking superhero narratives with unconventional characters, including undead heroines and robots. Executive Producer James Gunn opted not to include several fan-favorite characters, like Wolfpack and Man-Bat, in service of the show's unique storytelling and cohesive character composition. He intentionally sought to create a version of the Creature Commandos that diverges from comic book traditions. This approach seems to resonate with audiences, leading to the show’s impressive Rotten Tomatoes score and a renewal for a second season.
Gunn emphasized that he aimed to create a distinct version of Creature Commandos, prioritizing a cohesive group dynamic over sticking strictly to comic book favorites.
Despite considering beloved characters like Wolfpack and Man-Bat, Gunn chose to focus on storytelling that allowed Weasel and others to shine, avoiding an overcrowded lineup.
