New Rumor Claims to Reveal Classic DC Characters Set to Be Introduced in Series THE PEOPLE V. GORILLA GRODD
A few weeks ago, DC revealed the official direction of the previously untitled Jimmy Olsen series, telling fans that The People v. Gorilla Grodd will be a new mockumentary comedy that takes the super intelligent Flash villain and drops him into a true-crime murder investigation.
The eight-episode first season at HBO will star Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen and Jimmy Tatro as Gorilla Grodd, along with Superman supporting players Beck Bennett as Steve Lombard, Mikaela Hoover as Cat Grant, and Wendell Pierce as Perry White. Mary Holland, Eduardo Franco, Arian Moayed, Dan Perrault, Andrew Leeds, and Tim Baltz are also on board in undisclosed roles.
But these may not be the only main characters on board. CBM reports that insider Apocalyptic Horseman revealed in a post on X that The People v. Gorilla Grodd will also feature the DCU debuts of Heather Kelley and the Newsboy Legion.
Kelley was a Daily Planet reporter and anchor of the show "News Around the World," who was introduced as a potential new love interest for Clark Kent in the pages of Superman.
The Newsboy Legion, meanwhile, goes back much further. They were a team of reformed juvenile delinquents active during World War II. The Guardian, aka Officer Jim Harper, took the youths under his wing and made sure that they stayed on the straight and narrow.
