DC Studios' Creature Commandos "very steamy X-rated kind of scene" says Frank Grillo (but James Gunn says X might be "pushing it")
James Gunn and Peter Safran’s new DC Universe will begin with a bang…in a matter of speaking.
Popverse was there for all four days of New York Comic Con 2024, immersing ourselves in the pop culture party full of vendors, events, and celebrities from the worlds of comics, movies, TV, gaming, and more. If you couldn't make it (or are worried you missed something) click the link for our wall-to-wall coverage of the event.
DC is getting a new cinematic universe, but don’t expect it to be squeaky clean. Like the comic book source material, James Gunn and Peter Safran’s new DC Universe will feature some adult themes. Plus, it’s safe to say you can expect some sex and violence. If you’ve seen James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker, then you shouldn’t be surprised.
In fact, DC Studios’ first official project will contain a raunchy sex scene. Creature Commandos premieres this December, and it will kick off the new DC Universe with a bang (so to speak).
During a Creature Commandos spotlight panel at New York City Comic Con, Rick Flag Sr. actor Frank Grillo gave fans the scoop. “Maria [Bakalova] and I had a very steamy X-rated kind of scene, which I watched with my 16-year-old son, who was fairly traumatized,” Grillo said.
“Just for the record, X-rated is pushing it,” Gunn added.
“It’s a hard R. Come on, it’s a hard R, you can say that. It’s 4,000 of our closest friends. Anyway, it was a lot of fun,” Grillo said.
“I got the best video ever,” Gunn teased. “I was in Zoom, they were both in the booth, and I took a video of them. They have to look like they’re having sex. I have video of Frank and Maria in the booth, trying to coax them into this scene. They’re moaning out, and they’re making out, and kissing, and they’re both just like making out with their hands. And I’ve got this video of them that I will release when episode two comes out.”
“No, you won’t,” Grillo replied.
“Yeah, I will,” Gunn answered.
“Further embarrassment for my sixteen-year-old son,” Grillo replied in defeat.
Hmmm, it sounds like we have some interesting bonus material to look out for after Creature Commandos episode 2 airs. Just make sure you put the kids to bed first.
Creature Commandos premieres on Max on December 5, 2024.
