Now, Kostov is Bakalovas producing partner.

Bakalova worked with Gunn for the first time onGuardians on the Galaxy Vol.
3in which she played Cosmo the Space Dog.
Gunn made the shift from Marvel to DC, and brought Bakalova along with him.
When one scrolls through Bakalovas filmography and comes acrossGuardians of the Galaxy Vol.
However, that wasnt the case.
I just did an audition where I was required to do something with a high-pitched energy.

I was like, Okay.
That’s interesting.Should I go on all fours?
What do I do?

Do we go in a, I don’t know, voiceover booth?
Do we do ADR?
And I got the email that James wants to do it in person.
In “Creature Commandos,” Amanda Waller assembles a covert team of monstrous operatives, including a werewolf, vampire, and gorgon, to undertake high-risk missions deemed too perilous for human agents.
He wants me to go to set.
I was like, Really?
Butwhat am I even going to be doing there?
Bakalova wound up getting the ultimate opportunity to play and transform as an actor.
My mom is not letting me get dirty.
To imagine that, Today, I’m a dog.
That’s the power of being able to go to different places through acting.
Bakalova wants more James Gunn projects.
The series has kicked off the new DC era.
Bakalova continued, She was something way different than me feminine and awoman.
I’m a woman and I know what I want.
I want this, and I’m going to achieve it.
I’m not like that.
I’m very shy.
You see her with her mother and you see her not really paying a lot of attention.
It’s like a single word of, Oh, my poor mother.
She’s like, This is the Queen, and I’m so sad for her.
But if you’re that sad for her, maybe you’re going to pay more attention to her.
Princess Ilanas manipulative tactics actually reminded Bakalova of her experience working onBorat Subsequent Moviefilm.
She explained:
People usually can get convinced.
She just doesn’t need them there at all.
She better get them out of there.
Maybe she wants to distract him from the mission because he’s smart.
Maybe he’s gonna catch onto something that she has in mind.
And she succeeds in that.
So, she’s really good as a manipulator.My question is, why is she in this position?
What does she have to do with wanting to have all the power in the world?
WhileCreature CommandosSeason 1 didnt answer those particular questions, Bakalova did come up with some reasons of her own.
Unfortunately, that’s sometimes reality.
Her mother never treated her like she was worth it.
Her dad, as well.
We never see her dad.
We never know anything about him.
Maria Bakalova Addresses That Crushing Creature Commandos Finale Death
Its not fair.
However, things dont go according to plan, the Princess gets the upper hand and kills Nina instead.
And the only one of us with an ounce of kindness in her veins.
For the viewer, it hurts, and Bakalova knows it does.
You don’t need to understand them.
You just need to appreciate them.
I mean, that Bride?
But, I mean, why is Nina there?
Why isnt the Bride there?
Because she’s better underwater?
I mean, come on.
The Bride can also swim!
Why is Nina, again, sent to do the dirty work?
Looking for even more on Bakalovas experience makingCreature Commandos,Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.
3,Bodies Bodies Bodies, Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, and more?
Creature CommandosSeason 1 is available to stream on Max.
