After being ‘in the works<\/a>‘ for what has felt like centuries (about 21 months), Syfy’s upcoming Superman prequel series\u00a0Krypton<\/strong><\/em> has finally found a lead actor to play Seg-El, Supes’ grandfather.<\/p>\n

Cameron Cuffe, who recently appeared alongside Meryl Streep and Hugh Grant in\u00a0Florence Foster Jenkins<\/strong><\/em>, will be taking on the leading role. He’s practically unknown, but so were Christopher Reeve, Dean Cain and Tom Welling before they each starred as Superman himself.<\/p>\n

There’s not that much information on the plot so far, although Deadline<\/a> has previously stated the show will be set two generations before the destruction of Superman’s home planet of Krypton, and Seg-El will take centerstage as he “fights to redeem his family’s honour and save his beloved world from chaos”.<\/p>\n

The DC Comics characters that will feature in the show were created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster.<\/p>\n

Krypton<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0has been\u00a0developed by Man Of Steel\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>and\u00a0Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice<\/strong><\/em> writer\u00a0David S Goyer, who will also step in as an executive producer.<\/p>\n

The Girl With All The Gifts\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>helmer Colm McCarthy is set to direct the show’s pilot episode for Warner Horizon TV, while\u00a0Sleepy Hollow<\/strong><\/em>‘s Damian Kindler will serve as executive producer and showrunner. Kindler has also joined Goyer in rewriting the original script for the pilot, which Goyer wrote with Ian Goldberg (Once Upon A Time<\/strong><\/em>).<\/p>\n
