James Gunn has denied that the upcoming DCU series starring Jimmy Olsen and Gorilla Grodd is titled 'DC Crime.' The reveal comes amid growing curiosity about the quirky project, which is being developed by the creators of American Vandal and may carry the working title American Villain.
The upcoming DC Studios series pairing Superman's pal Jimmy Olsen with the telepathic gorilla villain Gorilla Grodd continues to spark curiosity and speculation. Recently, fans have been asking whether the quirky project has finally settled on an official title, with some reports claiming it might be called "DC Crime.
" However, James Gunn quickly dismissed that rumor, clarifying that the project is not and has never been called DC Crime. His comment put to rest months of speculation surrounding that name.
The bizarre combination of characters has left many fans surprised and intrigued, with one commenter noting that if they were asked to randomly pair two DC characters, Jimmy Olsen and Gorilla Grodd would never have been their choice, but the sheer randomness suggests there must be a phenomenal story or script behind it. Some alternative title ideas have also been floated.
A Geek's Viewpoint recently reported that the comedy series, which is slated for one season in 2026-27, might actually be titled "American Villain.
" However, DC Studios has not officially confirmed that title either. The show is being developed by Tony Yacenda and Dan Perrault, the creators behind American Vandal. Perrault has indicated that the crime-comedy format from their previous work will inform this project, and they plan to bring tools and approaches from that toolkit that have not been explored much in superhero projects before. Casting details are also emerging.
Skyler Gisondo is reportedly set to reprise his role as Jimmy Olsen after appearing in the upcoming Superman film. Additionally, Wendell Pierce, Mikaela Hoover, Christopher McDonald, and Beck Bennett are expected to return as members of the Daily Planet crew. The project remains under wraps in many ways, but the unusual premise and creative team have generated considerable interest among fans eager to see how this unconventional pairing will play out on screen
