As per ComicBook, talking about the same, David Harbour said, "I mean, I don't know how they do it nowadays. It feels like Mark Ruffalo just puts some dots on his face for the Hulk. But I don't know how they'll do it. I've worn prosthetics in movies before, I'm definitely down for it. I just love telling great stories that people love. I'm just happy to get back to work."

The Stranger Things fame went on to call Franken stein wacky, strange, and complex. "Oh, yeah. No, he's very different. I mean, it's the mind of James Gunn so it is wacky and strange, but also full of a lot of depth and complexity," David Harbour added. "The most interesting thing to me about Frankenstein's monster in general is that he was created to be this sort of erudite, intellectual, romantic, brilliant person, and he winds up being a monster. I mean, that complexity can make for some pretty ripe comedy and also pathos—that a guy who considers himself one thing is viewed by others as something very different."

Creature Commandos doesn’t have a date attached to it, but as per the last update, it is confirmed that it will be released in 2024. Stay tuned to OTTplay for more.
