Krypton Episode 4 Photos: “The Word of Rao”

Syfy has released a gallery of photos to promote the fourth episode of Krypton which airs on April 11… and these new photos include Colin Salmon of Arrow fame as a mysterious new player who may or may not be affiliated with Black Zero.

Here’s how Syfy describes it; the new photos follow below. The episode is called “The Word of Rao.”

Seg is approached by a Black Zero leader as Rao finds a scapegoat for the failed Rankless Initiative.

What if Superman never existed? Set two generations before the destruction of Superman’s home planet, “Krypton” follows Seg-El (Cameron Cuffe), the legendary Man of Steel’s grandfather, 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. With Krypton’s leadership in disarray and the House of El ostracized, Seg finds himself in a difficult position. He must redeem his family’s honor and protect the ones he loves while being challenged by familiar DC characters Brainiac (Blake Ritson) and Earthly time-traveler Adam Strange (Shaun Sipos).

“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. In addition to Cuffe, Sipos and Ritson, the show also stars Georgina Campbell (“Broadchurch”), Elliot Cowan (“Da Vinci’s Demons”), Ann Ogbomo (“World War Z”), Rasmus Hardiker (“Your Highness”), Wallis Day (“Will”), Aaron Pierre (“Tennison”) and Ian McElhinney (“Game of Thrones”). Based on the DC characters created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster.

  • When Salmon appeared in the promo for this episode and Seg asked him who he is, I half expected him to say “Walter Steele” ! I’m excited to see him back in the DC Universe! Based on the promo photos, it looks like Lyta is the scapegoat referred to in the synopsis .
