Today, DC Studios announced the full cast for the upcoming Jimmy Olsen mockumentary, The People vs. Gorilla Grodd. As previously reported, Skyler Gisondo returns as Jimmy Olsen, and Jimmy Tatro will star as Gorilla Grodd. DC Studios heads James Gunn and Peter Safran stated:
“Between Skyler’s wonderful performance and the fantastic chemistry of the Daily Planet cast, we knew coming out of ‘Superman’ that this would be a fun world to explore. We’re excited to work with the brilliant Dan Perrault and Tony Yacenda to take the audience down some of the darker and funnier streets and alleyways of the DCU as Jimmy spotlights the Metropolis criminal justice system for his docuseries.”
The rest of the cast includes the return of Beck Bennett as Steve Lombard, Mikaela Hoover as Cat Grant, and Wendell Pierce as Perry White from 2025’s Superman — as well as new cast additions Mary Holland, Eduardo Franco, Arian Moayed, Dan Perrault, Andrew Leeds, and Tim Baltz. American Vandal showrunners Tony Yacenda and Dan Perrault will headline this series as head writers.
The People vs. Gorilla Grodd will hit HBO Max sometime in 2027
