First Look: Emmett Scanlan is Krypton’s Lobo

The “Main Man” Lobo is coming to Krypton for its second season and Syfy has released a first look at the character!

Emmett J. Scanlan is playing Lobo in Krypton Season 2, and if the name of the actor seems familiar, it’s because this isn’t Scanlan’s first DC Comics rodeo: He played Jim Corrigan a.k.a. The Spectre on the NBC Constantine TV show, making his first appearance in one of the best episodes of that series.

Here’s the official description for the show’s take on the character:

A ruthless bounty hunter, who murdered his entire species, he possesses a genius level intellect when it comes to matters of warfare, making him a deadly adversary. Imbued with superhuman strength, and virtually immortal, Lobo will keep coming until the job is finished. His word is the only thing Lobo holds sacred; and although he’ll never violate the letter of an agreement, he might disregard its spirit from time to time!

Krypton Season 2 should be headed our way in 2019. You can take a look at the first-look Lobo photo below!

Set two generations before the destruction of Superman’s home planet, KRYPTON follows Seg-El (Cameron Cuffe), the legendary Man of Steel’s grandfather, as a young man who is 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. KRYPTON is from Warner Horizon Scripted Television and is executive produced by David S. Goyer (“Man of Steel,” “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,” “The Dark Knight Trilogy”) through his Phantom Four banner, alongside Cameron Welsh, who serves as showrunner.
