Krypton Season 2: New Look At Lobo

Article arrow_drop_down

Actor Emmett J. Scanlan has shared another look at Krypton’s version of Lobo for the upc0ming second season of the series.

“On the surface, with Lobo being such a broad character and our show having a more grounded tone, it feels like an unlikely match. And in a way it is,” Krypton Executive Producer Cameron Welsh said in an interview from Comic-Con posted by CBR, conducted soon after the announcement of Lobo was made.

“It’s almost because of that is why we’re doing it. When we’ve done that on the show in the first season, it’s been largely successful, so we feel like we can do that again. We know that he can’t be as broad as he is in the comics. He’s not going to be riding space dolphins, for example. But on the other hand, you don’t introduce Lobo to the show and make him be a watered-down version. We want to maintain the spirit of the character and honor what has made him so popular over the years. That’s what we tried to do with Braniac, that’s what we did with Zod, that’s what we did with Doomsday in the small bits we’ve seen of him so far. That’s what we intend to do with Lobo. He’ll unmistakably be Lobo but he’ll fit within our world and not be too jarring,” he continued.
