ELLIOT COWAN JOINS
'KRYPTON' SUPERMAN'S GRANDAD SF TV SERIES
Only a few days ago I've informed you that Cameron Cuffe will play the lead role in SyFy's KRYPTON sf series on Superman's grandfather, and now there are new cast addition lead by our beloved Beowulf and Da Vinci's Demons' star Elliot Cowan!
KRYPTON is set two generations before the destruction of the
legendary Man of Steel’s home planet following Superman’s grandfather
Seg-El, whose House of El was ostracised and shamed, as he fights to
redeem his family’s honour and save his beloved world from chaos.
Game of Thrones' Ian McElhinney will play Val-El, grandfather of Seg-El, a rogue genius who believes that space exploration is a basic form of self defense, and he has tried, without success, to warn the Kryptonian elite about the arrival of an ancient threat. Elliot Cowan is Daron Vex, the Chief Magistrate of Kandor whose real business is defending Krypton’s established oligarchy against heretics and dissidents. Ann Ogbomo will be Primus Alura Zod, Lyta Zod’s (female lead played by Georgina Campbell) mother and a leader of Krypton’s military guild, an extremely tough training officer. Rasmus Hardiker will play Kem, a brilliant engineer as well as Seg-El’s best friend and partner in an underground tech repair business. Wallis Day will play Nyssa Vex, a junior magistrate and the daughter of Daron Vex. Aaron Pierre is Dev-Em, a cadet under the command of Primus Alura Zod.
HUGH JACKMAN'S 'LOGAN'
BOYD HOLBROOK IS THE VILLAIN
In other sf news, 'Deadline' reports that the third instalment in Hugh Jackman's franchise WOLVERINE will see young Boyd Holbrook taking the lead villain role as Donald Pierce, a cyborg with superhuman abilities. His character is described as a relentless, calculating and intense head of security for a global enterprise who is set against Jackman’s clawed Wolverine/ Logan hero. Titled simply LOGAN, the third Wolverine movie, directed by James Mangold, will see Hugh Jackman playing the super mutant for the last time, with Patrick Stewart also appearing in the movie as Professor X!The movie should be out next March!
Hmm, Donald Pierce . . . wonder if that means we'll see the rest of the Reavers as well.
ReplyDeleteif they come, I'm sure Logan will destroy them all
DeleteLooking forward to Logan, hopefully they will finish strong!
ReplyDeleteclaws crossed!
DeleteSuperman, Batman, Wolverine, Superhero this, superhero that. I wish this damn trend would end. I just had a friend look at me like I had 4 heads because I said I haven't ever seen Star Wars, Star Trek, Avengers and Guardian's of the Galaxy. Sue me.
ReplyDeleteyes, most of those are deadly boring and beyond death possibly...
DeleteJust look at that young buck Cameron! Oh my!
ReplyDeleteSuperman got his looks from grandpa
DeleteAs a Wolverine fan, I'm looking forward to "Logan." Should be a real slash fest, I'm betting.
ReplyDeletethe man's gotta use his claws
DeleteLogan has me intrigued. I still have not seen the second Wolverine movie but I think I'll go to see how he ends up. Much love Wolverine. Yeah that SF Krypton sounds like a confusing snore fest. I could be wrong. But...
ReplyDeleteI'm kinda looking forward to Krypton if they make it epic with rich world building
DeleteI loved twilight (LOL) the first bits but then it did get blah. I do like the vampire diaries, so perhaps Logan will be the purrfect eye candy ;)
ReplyDeleteHow did you connect Twilight with Wolverine? :)
