Creature Commandos fans finally have something concrete to hold onto. Sean Gunn, who voices both G.I. Robot and Weasel in the animated DC Universe series, has confirmed that voice recording for Season 2 is officially happening. He also dropped a intriguing hint about Maxwell Lord that stretches far beyond the show itself.
The update came during an appearance on The Brandon Davis Show, where Gunn was asked which of his DCU characters audiences would see next. His answer covered both the animated series and the live-action side of the franchise.
Voice Recording for Season 2 Has Begun
Gunn did not hold back when describing where things stand. He told Davis that work on the new episodes is already in motion.
“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.”
That single sentence confirms two important things. First, the production is further along than many viewers assumed. Second, both of Gunn’s animated characters will return. Weasel first appeared in The Suicide Squad before jumping into the animated series. G.I. Robot became a breakout favorite during Season 1, with his emotional arc and World War II backstory earning strong reactions from viewers.
The recording update lines up with comments from showrunner Dean Lorey, who shared in July 2026 that he had been watching an animatic for Season 2, Episode 6. Lorey praised the artists and directors for their work on the upcoming installment.

Maxwell Lord Will Return More Than Once, But Where
The more eyebrow-raising part of Gunn’s interview involved Maxwell Lord. Sean Gunn plays the character in live-action, having appeared in Superman and Peacemaker Season 2. When asked about Lord’s future, Gunn made it clear this is not a one-and-done situation.
“And we will be seeing Maxwell Lord again more than once, but I am not allowed to say where or when.”
The wording matters here. Gunn did not confirm that Maxwell Lord will appear in Creature Commandos Season 2. He only said the character will return to the DCU on multiple occasions. The specific projects remain under wraps. What is clear is that Lord has become a meaningful part of Sean Gunn’s ongoing work in the franchise. He even called the role “my favorite” character to play.
For context, Maxwell Lord is a classic DC Comics figure, a powerful businessman who has been both an ally and an antagonist to superheroes over the years. His live-action introduction in the new DCU has been gradual, and this tease suggests his role will grow.
A Writers Room Changes the Game for Season 2
Season 1 of Creature Commandos was written entirely by James Gunn, which gave it a tight, singular voice. Season 2 is taking a different approach. Dean Lorey is leading a full writers’ room this time, meaning multiple writers will contribute scripts across the season.
Lorey, known for his work on Harley Quinn, has kept fans updated through social media. In May 2026, he shared the title page for the Season 2 premiere script, revealing the episode is called “Starry Night”. That title has sparked conversation among fans about whether Starro the Conqueror might factor into the new season.

No Release Date Yet, But 2027 Is the Target
Creature Commandos Season 2 does not have a specific premiere date. James Gunn has stated that the show will arrive “not long after” Man of Tomorrow, which is scheduled for July 8, 2027. That places the animated series somewhere in the second half of 2027 on HBO Max.
This means the gap between Season 1 and Season 2 will stretch past two years. Season 1 premiered on December 5, 2024, and ran through January 2025. It served as the opening chapter of the new DCU, introducing audiences to Task Force M, a black-ops team of imprisoned monsters led by Rick Flag Sr..
The cast for Season 2 includes Indira Varma as the Bride, Alan Tudyk as Doctor Phosphorus, Zoë Chao as Nina Mazursky, David Harbour as Eric Frankenstein, Sydney Chandler as Nosferata, and Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr..
Creature Commandos Season 2 is still in the middle of production, so expect more casting and story details to surface in the months ahead. For more updates on the DCU and your favorite animated series, keep checking VvipTimes.
