Superman movie may connect to Creature Commandos plot in DC Universe

James Gunn and Peter Safran have launched their DC Universe with the animated series "Creature Commandos," which premiered in 2024. The series features an assassination plot involving Princess Ilana Rostovic, leading to her death and potential conflict in the fictional country of Pokolistan. The upcoming Superman movie, set to release in July 2025, may connect to "Creature Commandos." The trailer hints at public anger towards Superman, possibly linked to the aftermath of the events in Pokolistan and a military buildup in the neighboring nation of Boravia. While the stories are designed to stand alone, there are indications of narrative links. Superman's involvement in the conflict could be a direct result of the power vacuum created by the princess's assassination.
