Syfy's Krypton is still casting and the latest additions are Ray Donovan's Paula Malcomson and Da Vinci's Demons star Blake Ritson. The former will take on the role of Charys, the matriarch of House El. Charys helps her son Seg (Superman's grandfather in the upcoming series) navigate the treacherous pitfalls of Kandor City, their beloved Kryptonian home embattled with oppression and revolt.
Ritson, on the other hand, will play Brainiac. He's described as a parasitic, hyper-advanced alien android of immense intelligence, Brainiac is one of Superman’s oldest and most dangerous foes.
Krypton is expected to premiere in 2018 and is set two generations before the destruction of the legendary Man of Steel’s home planet. It follows Superman’s grandfather - whose House of El was ostracized and shamed - as he fights to redeem his family’s honour and save his world from chaos.
Krypton boasts an intriguing premise and definitely has potential. What do you guys think of this casting news? Let us know your thoughts on that and Brainiac's TV return in the comments section.
