Stranger Things star David Harbour is set to be voicing the obscure character Frankenstein in the Creature Commandos animated TV series for the newly-rebooted DCU. All seven-episodes written by co-CEO James Gunn.
While not much regarding the DC project has been released to the public, Harbour spoke a bit about his character during an interview with Collider (full Interview here) while promoting his newest film, Grand Turismo [The interview was held before the WGA and SAG-AFTRA Strike].
Yeah, we recorded a bunch of stuff, and I mean, not only do I get to play in the DC universe, but I also get to play, like, the James Gunn DC universe; which is a whole new, exciting thing. I didn't know what it was when it was sent to me -- I met with James and he sort of laid out a lot of stuff, it's really exciting; he considers it some of the best stuff he's ever written; it's hilarious, and the character's great. I think you know it's been announced that it's Frankenstein, and it’s a very colorful, terrific character.”
Not only does Harbour give a little insight on James Gunn's take on Frankenstein for Creature Commandos, but supposedly Gunn also helms this project which he solely wrote all the episodes for, as, "the best thing he has ever written."
Gunn has outstood himself with his contributions, both contained in the Marvel, and DC universe, so we should be in for a treat if he pats himself on the back with his work on Creature Commandos.
It seems Harbour's experience voicing Frankenstein, and working with Gunn in general has been nothing short of a fun time, and we are very excited to witness the final product.
Creature Commandos will be released on the streaming service Max in 2024.
