Multiple outlets report that Jimmy Tatro is moving toward a role as Gorilla Grodd in HBO Max’s planned Superman spinoff series centered on Jimmy Olsen. Deadline reports that Tatro officially boards the project to bring Gorilla Grodd to life, citing sources. The report also notes that HBO Max has not yet given an official series greenlight, despite the casting news adding to attention around the development.
ComingSoon.net similarly reports that Tatro is expected to play Gorilla Grodd in the DC Studios Jimmy Olsen series and highlights that fans are already reacting to the casting. The coverage frames the announcement as “reported” or “in talks,” aligning with Deadline’s emphasis that the series itself is not confirmed by the network at this stage.
Together, the sources indicate that casting activity is underway for the Jimmy Olsen spinoff and that Gorilla Grodd is part of the anticipated cast, but HBO Max’s formal commitment to produce the series remains pending.
