Sydney Chandler will join the DC Universe after all. The Alien: Earth actor has confirmed that she will be joining the superhero universe as a new member of the Creature Commandos.
Sydney Chandler is joining the DCU after all
Chandler’s DCU casting comes only a week after she was reported to be in the running for the role of Maxima in James Gunn’s Man of Tomorrow. Adria Arjona was ultimately cast as the warrior queen from the planet Almerac, who was first introduced to the pages of DC Comics in 1990 by writer Roger Stern and artist George Pérez.
After Jeff Sneider reported that Chandler would voice the immortal vampire Nosferata in Creature Commandos Season 2, the actor confirmed the casting herself on her Instagram Story. She shared a piece of Creature Commandos Season 1 art and captioned it, “… soon …,” followed by bat, blood drop, and needle emojis.
Created by Karl Kesel and Tom Grummett, Nosferata first appeared in Superboy #50 in 1998. In the comics, she was one of the many genetically evolved experiments conducted by Project Moreau in the 1940s. It is unclear how much of her comic book origin will be adapted in the DCU.
Nosferata made a silent cameo in the Season 1 finale of Creature Commandos, where she was shown as one of the new additions to the title team. The rest of the new Task Force M lineup includes G. I. Robot, Khalis, King Shark, Doctor Phosphorus, and Weasel, with The Bride as team leader.
The first season of Creature Commandos premiered on Max in December 2024, with a second season ordered that same month. The adult animated superhero series was the first project released in the DCU. By the time Season 2 arrives, the shared universe will have expanded with at least two more shows (Peacemaker Season 2, Lanterns) and three films (Superman, Supergirl, and Clayface).
While a release date for Creature Commandos remains unknown, production has been underway since June 2025, making a possible December 2026 release extremely likely, but again, unconfirmed. Plot details remain under wraps for the second season, although Gunn has shared that it will be set after the events of Peacemaker Season 2.
Creature Commandos Season 1 is available to stream on HBO Max.
