Frank Grillo is a significant participant within the new DC Universe, and the actor explains why he prefers it over Marvel.
Frank Grillo performed Brock Rumlow, aka Crossbones, within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, however the actor has made the leap to DC to play Rick Flag Sr. Whereas talking with Entertainment Weekly, Grillo defined why he prefers enjoying within the DCU over the MCU.
“They’re very different,” Grillo mentioned. “Marvel’s a different machine, and it’s great in its own right, but the thing I love about James’ and Peter’s DC is that it’s much more contained. It’s so much more personal and I really enjoy it better. I just love being part of something in the embryonic stage and being able to grow with it and watch it and flourish.” Crossbones was by no means utilized in the way in which followers (or Grillo) anticipated, so I can’t say I blame him for being extra enthusiastic about his DC position.
Grillo made his DCU debut within the animated Creature Commandos collection however shall be making the leap to live-action with Superman and the second season of Peacemaker. “With Creature Commandos and Peacemaker, Flag is a prominent figure in the stories,” Grillo mentioned. “With Superman, he sort of simply drops in.“
The actor added that though his character sports activities some intense white hair within the animated collection, they weren’t in a position to do the identical factor for Superman or Peacemaker as he occurred to be taking pictures the second season of Tulsa King on the similar time. “Unfortunately, we shot some of the Peacemaker and Superman while I was in the middle of shooting Tulsa King, so we were limited to what we could do with my hair,” Grillo mentioned. “I needed to simply use what I had and attempt to make it as attention-grabbing as I might. I had each intention of dying it white and slicing it up, however I simply couldn’t do it.“
Along with Grillo as Rick Flag Sr., Creature Commandos options the voices of David Harbour as Eric Frankenstein, Indira Varma as The Bride, Maria Bakalova as Princess Ilana Rostovic, Alan Tudyk as Physician Phosphorus, Zoe Chao as Nina Mazursky, and Steve Agee as John Economos, and Sean Gunn as Weasel. The collection tracks a secret group of incarcerated monsters recruited for missions deemed too harmful for people. When all else fails… they’re your final, worst possibility. DC has already renewed Creature Commandos for a second season.
