‘Gotham’ Season 4 Spoilers: EP Talks Future Of Solomon Grundy

Transformation is a huge component of the Fox show “Gotham,” and a lot of its characters has changed - for the better or worse - from Seasons 1 to 4.

One of these characters is Solomon Grundy (Drew Powell), who used to be known as the mobster, Butch Gilzean. He had one of the most drastic transformations in the show because he went from being semi-dead to undead.

So what’s next for Grundy? Executive producer Bryan Wynbrandt told Comic Book that his old self and new self will merge and form a completely new character.

“I think what you're going to see is a story of duality and of this Frankenstein story when the monster becomes aware that he's a monster,” Wynbrandt explained. “How does that person move forward? How can someone move forward knowing, remembering maybe pieces of what they were and now they're this for all intents and purposes a hideous thing?”

“So I think what’s great is there’s really something interesting…that we dive into with Grundy/Butch and you’ll see him sort of becoming almost a new version of the character,” he continued. “Part is Butch, part is Grundy and what that does for us moving forward is it allows us to kind of carve a new trajectory for Drew Powell and for the character in the mythology of the show.”

Meanwhile, Powell said that he is just “really excited to kind of now bring the two together in this new character that I really love.” He added: “Giddy like a school girl I think is probably the most accurate way to say it.”

When Powell’s character was resurrected as Grundy, the first few people he came across from his old life were Ed Nygma (Cory Michael Smith) and Dr. Leslie “Lee” Thompkins.

Lee was found in the Narrows because she wanted to atone for her past mistakes, so she offered her services as a doctor. “There’s a lot of fighting, a lot of blood,” Baccarin told AM New York. “I’m the doctor there.”

As for Lee’s partnership with Nygma and Grundy, Powell said that “it’s the dream team you didn’t know you needed.”

“Gotham” Season 4 airs Thursdays at 8 p.m. EDT on Fox.
