Reflecting on her character in Oedipus, Varma commented, "Jocasta is a complex character with a challenging story." She drew a parallel to her role in Creature Commandos, noting the emotional depth of the Bride's relationship with her creator, Victor Frankenstein.
In Creature Commandos, earlier episodes revealed that the Bride had a complicated connection with Victor, which led to significant tension with the monster Eric Frankenstein. The dynamic between these characters added layers to the narrative, highlighting themes of creation and identity.
Varma shared her experience working on the animated series, especially enjoying the opportunity to record some of her dialogue alongside co-star Zoe Chao, who plays Nina Mazursky. "Working with Zoe brought a special dynamic to the characters’ friendship, making it feel more authentic," she said. This friendship, which developed throughout the season, reached a poignant climax in the finale, marking a turning point for the Bride's character.
David Harbour, who voices Eric Frankenstein, praised Varma’s performance, expressing his admiration for her portrayal of the Bride. "Her performance brought a new depth to the character that was both surprising and impressive," Harbour remarked.
Looking ahead to season 2, Varma is excited about the potential growth of her character. "There’s so much more to explore with the Bride," she said. "I’m intrigued by the possibility of her evolving beyond her past and discovering a new sense of purpose."
With James Gunn’s commitment to maintaining continuity across the DC universe, Varma also expressed interest in portraying a live-action version of the Bride. "It would be exciting to bring her to life on screen," she enthused.
Creature Commandos has set the stage for an exciting second season, with fans eager to see how the characters’ journeys will unfold.
