This week’s issues of DC Comics feature a three page preview of Krypton Season 2, kind of a “prequel” of what’s to come, getting everyone acquainted with the current storylines.

Brainiac, Lobo, Doomsday, General Zod and more are seen in this well-drawn preview. (Any idea who drew this? If you know, leave a comment so they’ll be properly credited!)

You can read the comic story below. Krypton Season 2 premieres June 12 on Syfy; photos from the season premiere can be found here.

What if Superman never existed? Set two generations before the destruction of Superman’s home planet, KRYPTON follows Seg-El (Cameron Cuffe), the legendary Man of Steel’s grandfather, as a young man who fights to save his home planet from destruction. Season 2 brings us back to a changed Kandor, locked in a battle over its freedom and its future. General Dru-Zod (Colin Salmon) is now in control. He’s on a ruthless mission to rebuild Krypton according to his ideals and to secure its future by conquering the universe. Faced with a bleak outlook, our hero, Seg-El, attempts to unite a dispersed group of resisters in an effort to defeat Zod and restore hope to their beloved planet. Their chance at redemption is threatened however, by their opposing tactics, shifting alliances and conflicting moral boundaries – forcing each of them to individually determine how far they’re willing to go in pursuit of a better tomorrow.

Tubi Streaming Adds Superman Movies, Krypton and Lois & Clark

Two Christopher Reeve Superman films, Krypton, and Lois & Clark will all be streaming on Tubi.

Published

on

You might not need a MAX subscription to see some of the best Superman-related TV series and movies.

Variety broke the news today that Tubi is now streaming the first two Superman movies with Christopher Reeve as well as the two seasons of Krypton which starred Cameron Cuffe… and coming at the end of December, they are adding Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman TV show featuring Teri Hatcher.

(Before you ask: Smallville is still on Hulu!)

In addition to those productions, several DC animated movies will be streaming on Tubi as well as series such as Gotham and Batwoman. Several of the DC movies of recent years including The Batman, Wonder Woman, Suicide Squad, and Aquaman will also be available. There’s also the time Warner Bros. produced a Marvel show: Blade: The Series, which featured some episodes by Geoff Johns, is also coming to Tubi.

Tubi streaming is ad-supported, so there will be ads, but thankfully, it’s a considerably lighter add than The CW app which shows those irritating ForHers commercials 18 times repeatedly within an hour. You can find Tubi at tubi.com.

Krypton: Bridgerton’s Regé-Jean Page Was Almost Seg-El; Cameron Cuffe Responds

Bridgerton breakout star Regé-Jean Page was considered for the role of Seg-El on Krypton.

Published

Regé-Jean Page has become a bit of a household name thanks to his breakout role in the Netflix Original Series Bridgerton. But, he may have taken flight in a different iconic role if things had gone a certain way, as he was up for the role of Superman’s grandfather, Seg-El, in the series that ultimately became Krypton.

The revelation came as a result of a deep-dive interview between The Hollywood Reporter and actor Ray Fisher who spoke up about issues involving race and executives involved with the Justice League film after original director Zack Snyder departed and was replaced by Whedon. Ray Fisher’s accusations come alongside chatter that Regé-Jean Page was considered for the role of Seg-El on Krypton, as producers were passionate about non-traditional, open-ethnicity casting for the role of Superman’s grandfather, only to allegedly be told by an executive that “Superman could not have a Black grandfather,” implying that one would expect the grandfather to look like Henry Cavill. While Krypton was originally developed to look more like Man of Steel and its aesthetic, members of Zod’s family were, indeed, Black in the Syfy series, and didn’t look like Michael Shannon, so that excuse held no weight. When Zod himself showed up, he arrived as played by actor Colin Salmon who is also not white.

Page responded to this today — or at least, it seems he did with the “fly” reference — in a tweet.

“Hearing about these conversations hurts no less now than it did back then. The clarifications almost hurt more tbh [to be honest],” he wrote. “Still just doing my thing. Still we do the work. We still fly.”

The actor who did land the Seg-El on Krypton, Cameron Cuffe, has responded to Page’s Tweet.

“Regé is an inspiration to me and thousands of other artists. No one should feel okay benefiting from individuals or institutions that treat their fellow humans so unjustly. Change must happen,” he wrote.

We hope there is a role for Regé-Jean Page in the DC Universe someday — you know, they are looking to cast a new John Constantine and he’d likely be perfect… but, of course, it’s pretty certain that after Bridgerton Page can land any role he would possibly want.

Krypton Is Now Streaming On CW Seed

CW Seed has added Krypton to their lineup.

Published

on

Just in time for another new series about new generations of the House of El, CW Seed has added Krypton to their line-up of series that are available free to stream. The link to watch Krypton at CW Seed can be found here.

To describe Krypton would probably not do it justice, but in short: Cameron Cuffe – an actor who we’d better see on our screens again soon – plays Seg-El, the grandfather of Kal-El, years before the planet Krypton exploded. In addition to being a great ride with a very talented cast, the series also offers audiences the best live-action takes of characters such as Brainiac, Doomsday, and Zod…. and how they come into the story is part of the surprise. Showrunner Cam Welsh and his team of writers built a world of twists and turns that exceeded expectations.

Imagine a time when being of the House of El is not a good thing… and if things aren’t made right, the hopeful future brought by Superman and his heirs could never happen. That’s Krypton. So, check out the first episode… it’ll give you something good to watch to pass the time between now and the premiere of Superman & Lois on Tuesday night.
