- Frank Grillo has opened up on Rick Flag Sr’s DCU future after Creature Commandos‘ season 1 finale
- Flag Sr will seem on this 12 months’s Superman film and Peacemaker season 2
- Grillo says his character might be “on a mission” that ties again to 2021’s The Suicide squad movie
Creature Commandos star Frank Grillo has teased the following stage of Rick Flag Sr’s story after the DC Universe (DCU) present’s season 1 finale.
Speaking to TechRadar forward of Creature Commandos episode 7, titled ‘A Very Funny Monster’, Grillo reconfirmed that his character will present up in James Gunn’s Superman film and Peacemaker season 2. We already knew that Flag Sr would have a bit-part function on this 12 months’s Superman movie and play a serious half in Peacemaker‘s sophomore season, however it’s nonetheless pleasing to listen to it from the person himself.
What wasn’t abundantly clear, although, is the function that Flag Sr will play in these DCU Chapter One initiatives. And, whereas Grillo was reluctant to provide something away about what we will count on from his character in Superman, he was extra open (surprisingly so) about Flag Sr’s antagonistic function in Peacemaker‘s second chapter. Potential spoilers observe for Peacemaker season 2!
So, how does Flag Sr match into Peacemaker season 2’s story? And why is he being arrange as a tragic villain of kinds in probably the greatest Max reveals’ subsequent installments? Essentially, it boils right down to the truth that the titular antihero, performed by John Cena, killed his son in 2021’s The Suicide Squad film.
Presently, Flag Sr does not know that Christopher Smith/Peacemaker is liable for murdering his solely baby. It appears he’ll discover out a technique or one other, although, both in one among 2025’s most anticipated new films (i.e., Superman) or throughout Peacemaker‘s season 2 premiere. That, in line with Grillo, will lead to Flag Sr embarking on a revenge-filled quest – one which, primarily based on Grillo’s barely spoiler-filled reply, might give Flag Sr some closure over his son’s homicide, too.
“Rick’s on a mission [in Peacemaker season 2],” Grillo instructed me. “It’s actually one-sided as a result of it has quite a bit to do with the dying of his son, so he cannot see the so-called greater image. By the top of that journey [in season 2], I feel he’ll be in a special place the place he believes he is gotten what he wanted to over the course of its eight episodes.”
Some viewers, who might not have been conscious that Grillo’s character would seem in different DCU initiatives, have been fearing the worst when Flag Sr was left for lifeless by Batman villain Clayface in Creature Commandos episode 5. However, ‘A Very Funny Monster’ confirmed that he’d survived his brush with dying. Considering he goes out and in of a coma within the finale of the R-rated animated sequence’ first season, although, it will be attention-grabbing to see how rapidly he recovers between the Max present’s newest episode and his look in Superman.
While we look ahead to the latter to fly into theaters on July 11, learn my Creature Commandos season 1 ending defined piece to be taught extra about what occurs in it, the way it units up future DCU films and reveals, and extra.
