Ron Perlman Creature Commandos Role Was Never Considered for DCU

James Gunn has taken to Twitter to disprove a rumor about a Ron Perlman Creature Commandos role.

AT Twitter user recently asked Gunn, who is Co-CEO of DC Studios, if fans will soon find out about who Hellboy star Ron Perlman will play in Creature Commandos. Gunn responded, saying that he loves Perlman as an actor, but that he isn’t in the upcoming series and that a Ron Perlman Creature Commandos role was never discussed. He then reiterated that fans shouldn’t believe rumors — particularly anything that doesn’t come from himself or DC.

Ron Perlman is an actor I love but he isn’t on the show and he and I never even talked about him being on the show. It might be better if folks stopped believing rumors. If it doesn’t come from me or DC, it’s not to be believed.
