Gunn has previously stated that actors will portray their roles in both animated and live-action projects. So could we see Chalotra turn up as a live action Circe down the line?
In the 7 episodes series Sean Gunn will voice Weasel, Grillo is Rick Flag Sr., Bakalova as Princess Ilana Rostovic, Varma is The Bride, Chao is Nina Mazursky, Tudyk is Dr. Phosphorus, Harbour is Eric Frankenstein and Agee is John Economos.
No premiere date has been set for Creature Commandos as yet. But we expect the series to drop later in 2024.
