THE FLASH: Gorilla Grodd Confirmed To Return For A Two-Episode Arc Later This Season
Gorilla Grodd has been one of Barry Allen's most formidable foes during the first two seasons of The Flash and it sounds like we're going to be seeing a lot more of him sooner rather than later!
Last time we saw Gorilla Grodd on The Flash, he'd been thrust through a breach to Earth-2 where he very fortunately found himself just outside the gates of Gorilla City. What became of him after that moment wasn't revealed, but if he made his way into the city, it's probably not a stretch to assume that he's learned a few things since his last encounter with the Scarlet Speedster.
At the Television Critics Association's press tour yesterday, executive producer Andrew Kreisberg confirmed to those in attendance that the classic DC Comics villain will be returning in a major way this season: "We're going to have a two-part Grodd episode." The aforementioned two-parter will occur during episodes 13 and 14 of this current third year and while an airdate wasn't revealed, it's more likely than not that the pair of episodes will air late February and/or early March, ahead of the annual spring hiatus.
In addition to Grodd, the episodes will also introduce a second sentient gorilla, named Solovar, who is the leader of Gorilla City. He'll be voiced by Keith David (Community).
As for the setting, Kreisberg teased some Multiverse action by sharing that "one of the [episodes] will take place in Gorilla City and one of them will take place on Earth-1." So, it sounds like Barry will be returning to Earth-2 at some point in the near future and that Grodd will be almost definitely be making his way back home during the first half of the two-part special event.
So, what do you guys think about Grodd's return? Sound off with your thoughts below!
Blinded by anger, Barry unwittingly plays into Zoom's game and uncovers the evil speedster's true goal: to destroy all the earths in the multiverse. In the face of his life, Barry ultimately gets the upper hand against Zoom and defeats his nemesis. But unable to celebrate victory, Barry makes a world-shaking decision and speeds back in time to the night his mother died to stop Reverse Flash from killing her, irrevocably changing his past and redetermining his future.
