"He's an interesting character, but he's always been a minor part of the DC Universe. Without powers, he has to rely on his wits to assist his friends. That can be compelling when juxtaposed with a Superman adventure, but can he hold his own if he's the star of the story? If we know anything about Gunn, it's that he loves his misfit groups, and Jimmy's new spinoff - which is really, officially happening - will test the limits of that focus."
"DC Studios Dan Perrault and Tony Yacenda, the duo behind the laugh-out-loud satire American Vandal, will helm DC's Jimmy Olsen show. Their story will focus on Jimmy and the Daily Planet staff as they work to expose super-powered villains, just as they did with Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) in Superman. Per , David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan likely won't reprise their respective roles as Clark Kent and Lois Lane, at least not for a major appearance."
A Jimmy Olsen series will spotlight Jimmy and the Daily Planet staff investigating and exposing super-powered villains through journalism. Dan Perrault and Tony Yacenda of American Vandal will lead the project, shaping its tone and format. Clark Kent and Lois Lane are unlikely to return as major characters, leaving the Planet team to solve crimes independently. The first season will feature Gorilla Grodd as the primary antagonist. Jimmy's role emphasizes resourcefulness without powers, and the series will lean on ensemble dynamics and misfit-group storytelling to carry the narrative.
