There are many great things to highlight about James Gunn's Superman (as expressed in my CinemaBlend review from this summer), and Skyler Gisondo's scene-stealing turn as Jimmy Olsen is most certainly one of them. Thankfully, this excellence has been widely recognized, and it has quickly prompted development of the character's own spinoff series. The idea alone is exciting, but now anticipation is even higher, as a pair of talented showrunners have been hired to creatively guide the show, and the identity of the first season's principal antagonist has been revealed.
Per The Hollywood Reporter, Dan Perrault and Tony Yacenda – best known for their acclaimed Netflix mocumentary series American Vandal – have been brought on to executive produce and showrun the Jimmy Olsen spinoff series (which apparently doesn't have an official title yet). The trade report also says that the hyperintelligent ape Gorilla Grodd will be returning to live-action for the first time since appearing in the Arrowverse and will be "in the spotlight."
