The cast of Creature Commands There are many things, but noble heroes are not one of them.

Speaking to Den of Geek, James Gunn’s cast reflected on playing characters that are much darker than a traditional DC protagonist, and how that is reflected in both their worldviews and their backstories. “I like to be straight up evil” said Alan Tudyk about his role as the crazy Doctor Phosphorus, noting: “In the animation is Murdering people is pretty fun. It’s not a long day and you’re not covered in blood. I can burn so many faces and then go to lunch.”

Sean Gunn also enjoyed the opportunity “Play like a supervillainHowever, saw his double appearances as animalistic weasel and Nazi killing machine GI Robot in a much friendlier light, believing that none of them had “a spark of evil in them.” In the latter case, he described GI Robot as committed to its World War II-era mindset to a tragic fault, calling it “literally a robot, so it was programmed to only kill Nazis, which it likes to do.” “

She has finally found her tribe in this motley crew of monsters.

Similarly, Zoë Chao viewed her amphibious Nina Mazursky as a gentler kind of monster who has been ostracized her entire life and therefore shares her teammates’ underlying pain. “Its origin story also involves a lot of adversity, but She remains this open, caring creature. I think that’s her real superpower,” Chao said, emphasizing, “So many of these misfits and outcasts are just lonely, and Nina’s life has been one of loneliness.” She has finally found her tribe in this motley crew of monsters.”
