James Gunn's Superman is getting a TV spin-off starring Skyler Gisondo, reprising his movie role as Superman's pal, Jimmy Olsen (via THR). The show will be created by American Vandal showrunners Dan Perrault and Tony Yacenda, with the focus on Jimmy Olsen and the rest of the Daily Planet gang investigating stories involving supervillains.

That said, the aforementioned "Daily Planet gang" reportedly does not include David Corenswet's Clark Kent and Rachel Brosnahan's Lois Lane, which makes sense as they're undoubtedly busy filming Superman sequel Man of Tomorrow. It seems everyone else could be on the table - and I personally wouldn't rule out at least a cameo from Clark and Lois.
