Skyler Gisondo is sharing his thoughts on the future of The People v. Gorilla Grodd amid Peter Safran and James Gunn‘s exit from DC Studios.
Gisondo is set to reprise his Jimmy Olsen role in an HBO series, a character he originated in 2025’s Superman film opposite David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan.
With Skydance taking over Warner Bros. and DC Studios, the future for unreleased projects is uncertain. Former WBD CEO David Zaslav infamously shelved Batgirl as a tax write-off, and some fear the Superman spinoff series could have a similar fate.
While promoting his new filmFocker-in-Law, Gisondo was asked about the situation, and the actor toldScreenRant, “Oh, that kind of stuff is definitely above my pay grade.”
“I love James and Pete so much. I think they’ve done a great job. I am so grateful to them both,” he added. “I think there’s still a lot of questions as to what this means moving forward. I hope we still get the chance to work together in some capacity. I don’t really know. Definitely going to miss them.”
Earlier this year, HBO Max gave an eight-episode, straight-to-series order to the workplace comedy titled The People v. Gorilla Grodd.
Gisondo would reprise hisSupermanrole as Jimmy Olsen, and Jimmy Tatro would play Gorilla Grodd, with the series set in a true-crime mockumentary style. Season 1 will center on DC bad guy Gorilla Grodd, who gains psychic powers and other abilities after an encounter with an alien spaceship.
The cast of the spinoff series also includes Beck Bennett as Steve Lombard, Mikaela Hoover as Cat Grant, and Wendell Pierce as Perry White, along with new additions Mary Holland, Eduardo Franco, Arian Moayed, Dan Perrault, Andrew Leeds, and Tim Baltz.
