During his sweeping new interview with Buzzfeed, DC Entertainment’s Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns said a lot of pretty interesting things — but a fairly small one stuck out as being worth calling attention to.
Expressing his excitement about The Flash on The CW, Johns said, “We want to inspire people with this stuff. And we want to get it out there. Like, I can’t believe Gorilla Grodd’s gonna be in a Flash TV show. That’s insane. Like, I say it out loud and I still think it’s insane. But that’s what we want to do; we want to break new ground.”
While the existence of Grodd in-universe was established with the pilot and various people connected to the show have answered questions about that moment with things like “We don’t tease for nothing,” Johns’s comment is — unless we’re mistaken — the first official, direct comment that says without qualification, “Gorilla Grodd is going to be on television.”
It will be the character’s first live-action appearance, although he’s appeared in numerous animated projects, both on TV and in direct-to-video feature films.
The Flash airs on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on The CW.
