Gorilla Grodd Serenades Metropolis University in New DC Studios Set Footage
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
New set footage from The People v. Gorilla Grodd reveals a wonderfully bizarre true crime mockumentary featuring the super-intelligent DC villain singing boy band classics on a college campus.
Production on the upcoming DC Studios series The People v. Gorilla Grodd is officially underway, and recent social media leaks suggest we are getting something genuinely unhinged. Spotted filming at the Georgia Institute of Technology and shared widely by accounts like Atlanta DC Fans and DC Film News, set videos show a performer in a full gorilla suit walking the grounds of Metropolis University. In one standout clip, the supersized primate is captured wearing a cap and gown, performing with an a cappella group, and belting out the Backstreet Boys classic As Long as You Love Me to a fellow student.
According to IGN South Africa, the eight-part true crime mockumentary style series is spearheaded by the creative minds behind American Vandal. Skyler Gisondo is returning as The Daily Planet reporter Jimmy Olsen to investigate whether the telepathic ape was framed for killing his father. While Jim Tatro is handling the voice acting and facial motion capture for Grodd, the physical set videos feature a costumed stand-in that will presumably be swapped for a digital creation in post-production.
The cast reads like an absolute comedy dream team, featuring returning Superman talent alongside newcomers like Beck Bennett, Mikaela Hoover, Wendell Pierce, Mary Holland, and Eduardo Franco. Whether Grodd is serenading lovers or allegedly busting out choreo to Party Rock Anthem, DC Studios is leaning hard into the absurd side of comic book lore. For a character who debuted way back in 1959 as a purely menacing Flash villain, this deadpan true crime parody format proves that superhero adaptations are still finding fresh ways to surprise us on screen.
