‘Creature Commandos’ Reportedly Casts ‘Community’ Star Danny Pudi as Khalis the Mummy

Danny Pudi, who played Abed on Community, will voice Khalis the Mummy in Season 2 of HBO Max’s Creature Commandos, according to Jeff Sneider.

We’ve already met his mummy. In the Season 1 finale, the Bride gets a look at the new lineup of Task Force M, DC’s team of monsters sent on covert missions. Khalis is standing there alongside the vampire Nosferata, and neither says a word. We reported back in April that Alien: Earth star Sydney Chandler will voice Nosferata. Now we know who we’ll hear from under those bandages, too.

Creature Commandos was the first show out of the gate for James Gunn and Peter Safran’s DCU, and it gave us our first look at Matt Hagen. Alan Tudyk voiced Clayface in Season 1. Tom Rhys Harries plays him in the new movie, which takes place before the series. Safran confirmed to Entertainment Weekly that they’re the same guy. With Clayface past $109 million worldwide, I wanted to see where else Hagen might turn up. Apparently, so did Gunn. He said last month, “This isn’t the last we’ll see of Clayface.”

That was before yesterday’s news that Jeremy Latcham is taking over DC Studios. Gunn and Safran are still working on the next Superman movie, Man of Tomorrow. That makes this one of the last seasons of DC television to come out of their time running the studio, and I do wonder if it’ll be the last we see of Creature Commandos. I hope the Bride gets to keep her team. She just got a mummy.

In the series following the events of Peacemaker, Amanda Waller can no longer risk human lives for black-ops missions. Instead, she assembles Task Force M—a secret team of incarcerated, non-human monster criminals.
