The primary installment in James Gunn’s DC Universe has concluded, as Creature Commandos episode 7 noticed the crew tackle Princess Ilana Rostovic. Nonetheless, earlier than defeating her, they needed to lose considered one of their very own, because the princess ended up killing Nina Mazursky.
In an unique interview with ScreenRant to interrupt down the Creature Commandos season 1 finale, Bakalova opened up about not solely the demise of Nina, but in addition Princess Ilana getting killed off in the direction of the tip. With comedian e book and superhero tales being recognized for not all the time letting the lifeless say lifeless, Bakalova teased the opportunity of Princess Ilana Rostovic’s story not being over within the DC Universe, as she shared the next:
Maria Bakalova: Yeah, we noticed her in Circe’s imaginative and prescient. We noticed her that she’s just about succesful to kill superheroes someway. So perhaps she additionally has some superpowers. Who is aware of? Who actually is aware of loads about that place Pokolistan? As a result of I bear in mind I used to be looking for it on-line again after I learn the script, I used to be like, ‘Okay, so there’s a place that someway exists with the identical title, however do we all know extra about it?’ Perhaps it is a spot that loads of people stay, however perhaps inside these folks, their folks, their preachers, with particular skills, with particular powers. So I do not know…I hope she’s not dead-dead. Perhaps some folks can be reverse [to] my opinion, as a result of she has made some horrible selections, and she or he killed mainly one of many nicest characters on this present.
ScreenRant: Yeah, no laborious emotions. I wasn’t crying in any respect!
Maria Bakalova: It is not honest to kill Nina…however I want each of them survived someway, and [that] we see them once more. As a result of, to be trustworthy, I believe these are my two favourite…it is tough to say my favourite characters, however I felt very empathetic in the direction of Nina, and I do wish to know extra about Ilana. I do wish to know why is she like that [laughs] like, ‘Okay, mainly you are alleged to be the hero of your nation, and also you wish to put it on fireplace? Why? Why do you do this?’ It is a query that I really feel like loads of us are asking ourselves on the each day foundation, however yeah, if we are able to get extra sense of why is she like that sooner or later, why is she associates with Clayface? [Those are] attention-grabbing selections.
Regardless of the demise of Princess Ilana, ScreenRant additionally requested Bakalova if there was an opportunity Gunn would use her some place else within the DCU for different roles. Bakalova confused that she would like to be again in Gunn’s DCU in any capability, as she shared the next:

Greater than something, as a result of I really feel like, with Creature Commandos’ first two episodes premiering again in December 5, and other people loving it, it is the largest proof that we should always preserve doing this and the brand new DC Universe goes to have a fantastic look. And I do wish to be related to one thing that involves folks and make folks give it some thought, discuss it, really feel for it. And understanding that James goes to be behind it, that is for me, the largest dream. So something that he is doing or he has in thoughts, I am prepared to leap in and do it.
Whereas Bakalova is not saying that something is about in stone, it does appear doable that the door has not been totally closed for Princess Ilana, as there are a variety of things to keep in mind. Regardless that Circe’s imaginative and prescient has not come to fruition, there’s nothing saying that the DCU’s Justice League and the world could not nonetheless be prone to Princess Ilana, particularly if she has powers that nobody is aware of about but. It could merely be that Circe’s preliminary imaginative and prescient of the longer term has now been prevented from taking place, however an alternate one may nonetheless occur down the road.
Provided that Princess Ilana can also be an authentic creation for the DCU, there are various routes that Gunn and the Creature Commandos crew may take along with her in season 2 and past. If Princess Ilana was going to get to a degree sooner or later the place she can be dominating the world, somebody that sensible may simply have backup plans in case one thing went flawed for her. Whereas Creature Commandos season 2 will probably concentrate on the brand new crew coping with different threats, Princess Ilana’s resurrection may slowly be taking place within the background earlier than a correct reveal that she’s nonetheless alive.
