A new featurette looking behind-the-scenes at SYFY’s Krypton has given us our first look at Braniac. The character is going to be portrayed in the series by British actor Blake Ritson. Watch as Geoff Johns, David Goyer and members of the shows cast discuss the villains role as the series big bad. Head down the page for an HD shot of the actor in full makeup.
Set two generations before the destruction of Superman’s home planet, KRYPTON follows Seg-El (Cameron Cuffe), the legendary Man of Steel’s grandfather — whose House of El was ostracized and shamed. With Krypton’s leadership in disarray, Seg-El encounters Earthly time-traveler Adam Strange (Shaun Sipos) who warns he’s under the clock to save his beloved world from chaos. Fighting to redeem his family’s honor and protect the ones he loves, Seg is also faced with a life and death conflict – save his home planet or let it be destroyed in order to restore the fate of his future grandson.
