With promotion for the upcoming comedy Focker-In-Law in full swing, Superman actor Skyler Gisondo is being asked to comment on corporate restructuring and tentpole planning at DC Studios as if he’s in the know or something. Speaking with ScreenRant (per Deadline), Gisondo, who seems like a nice fellow and doesn’t deserve this aggravation, was asked a very serious question about DC’s history of shelving projects, with interviewer earnestly asking whether Gisondo’s latest projects, The People V. Gorilla Grodd and Man Of Tomorrow, will meet the same fate as Leslie Grace and Michael Keaton’s lost-media Batgirl movie. (Here’s where we remind everyone that Batgirl was shelved under a completely different corporate boss, well before DC Studios was created, but whatever.)
“Oh, that kind of stuff is definitely above my pay grade,” Gisondo said, his face a mask of bewilderment (and perhaps fear). But professional that he is, the actor gave ScreenRant a polished response praising former DC co-heads James Gunn and Peter Safran, while sparing himself any potential static with new DC boss Jeremy Latcham. “I love James and Pete so much. I think they’ve done a great job. I am so grateful to them both,” he said. “I think there’s still a lot of questions as to what this means moving forward. I hope we still get the chance to work together in some capacity. I don’t really know. Definitely going to miss them.” Gisondo’s next DC projects are still expected to see the light of day. The People V. Gorilla Grodd, from American Vandal‘s Tony Yacenda and Dan Perrault, will premiere on HBO Max in 2027 and will reunite Gisondo with his fellow Daily Planet co-workers, with Beck Bennett, Mikaela Hoover, and Wendell Pierce returning as Steve Lombard, Cat Grant, and Perry White, respectively. Gunn’s Man Of Tomorrow is expected to hit theaters on July 9 of that year.
