“Ghosts” and “The Big Door Prize” star Mary Holland has been cast as the female lead in the “Superman” spinoff TV series at HBO Max that centers on Jimmy Olsen.
Holland will play the role of Sandra in the series. She joins a cast that currently includes Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy alongside Jimmy Tatro as Gorilla Grodd.
The crime-mystery-comedy anthology series follows on from James Gunn’s “Superman” films and sees Olsen and others at the Daily Planet investigating various supervillains.
The series, which has been previously rumored to be going by the titles of “DC Crime” and “American Villain,” would also serve as an introduction to several other DC Comics metahuman characters.
The show reportedly has “American Vandal” co-creators Dan Perrault and Tony Yacenda on board to write, executive produce and serve as showrunners.
Gunn and Peter Safran will executive produce the show which is set up at Warner Bros. Television.
