Frank Grillo is a serious 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 Leisure Weekly, Grillo defined why he prefers enjoying within the DCU over the MCU.
“They’re very totally different,” Grillo mentioned. “Marvel’s a special machine, and it’s nice in its personal proper, however the factor I like about James’ and Peter’s DC is that it’s rather more contained. It’s a lot extra private and I actually get pleasure from it higher. I simply love being a part of one thing within the embryonic stage and with the ability to develop with it and watch it and flourish.” Crossbones was by no means utilized in the best way followers (or Grillo) anticipated, so I can’t say I blame him for being extra enthusiastic about his DC function.
Grillo made his DCU debut within the animated Creature Commandos collection however can be making the leap to live-action with Superman and the second season of Peacemaker. “With Creature Commandos and Peacemaker, Flag is a distinguished determine within the tales,” Grillo mentioned. “With Superman, he type of simply drops in.“
The actor added that though his character sports activities some intense white hair within the animated collection, they weren’t capable of 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. “Sadly, we shot a few of the Peacemaker and Superman whereas I used to be in the course of taking pictures Tulsa King, so we had been restricted to what we may do with my hair,” Grillo mentioned. “I needed to simply use what I had and attempt to make it as attention-grabbing as I may. 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 staff 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.
