During a virtual presscon that The STAR also attended, the American filmmaker was asked about his decision to make "Creature Commandos" as an animated series, in collaboration with the French animation studio BobbyPills, rather than a live-action one.
He initially quipped that it was because they didn't have the funds. "Because I didn't have the $300 million. We didn't have the money," the show's creator and writer said, before clarifying, "I honestly don't remember why I didn't. I wrote this thing on my own, like, sitting around in Aspen, I just wanted to write an animated show.
"I didn't get paid for any of it. I just wrote it. And then we happened to get hired as DC Studio. And my career is just about going with what inspires me in the moment. I was in Colorado, editing 'Guardians 3,' and this idea just came to me. So, I wrote it and that's what happened. And that's what most of my career has been like."
"Creature Commandos" has since become his favorite project, calling it the best thing he's done.
"Now I can honestly say, and this is the truth, I think this is maybe the thing I like the most out of anything I've done. I watched the first episode from BobbyPills, I'm like, well, that's good.
"I watched the second episode and I was like, wow, this is going to be a really good show. I got to the fourth episode and I'm like, this is definitely the best thing I've ever done that I didn't direct because I directed (voice) actors, but I didn't direct the show. There were other very talented people coming in... and they're all putting their two cents in and directing it.
"By the time I got to the seventh episode, I'm like, no, I like this more than 'Guardians' or the stuff I did with 'Avengers' or anything. This is the thing I love the most. This is the best thing."
