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. Showrunner Cam Welsh and his team of writers built a world of twists and turns that exceeded expectations. and how they come into the story is part of the surprise.

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…. 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.

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. No one should feel okay benefiting from individuals or institutions that treat their fellow humans so unjustly.
Regé is an inspiration to me and thousands of other artists. 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. “Regé is an inspiration to me and thousands of other artists. The actor who did land the Seg-El on Krypton, Cameron Cuffe, has responded to Page’s Tweet. The clarifications almost hurt more tbh ,” he wrote. “Hearing about these conversations hurts no less now than it did back then.
Page responded to this today - or at least, it seems he did with the “fly” reference - in a tweet. When Zod himself showed up, he arrived as played by actor Colin Salmon who is also not white. 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. 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. 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. 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. Regé-Jean Page has become a bit of a household name thanks to his breakout role in the Netflix Original Series Bridgerton.
