“Krypton” Season 2 – The Creation of Doomsday

Syfy has released a new video giving us a behind-the-scenes look at Doomsday in Season 2 of “Krypton”.

Doomsday isn’t as bad as he seems… He’s so much worse.

Zod! Brainiac! Doomsday! Lobo! Seg-El’s enemies are closing in, and the future of his home planet of Krypton has been stolen. Join the fight to take it back when “Krypton” returns to SYFY on June 12.

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, as a young man who fights to save his home planet from destruction. Season 2 brings us back to a changed Kandor, locked in a battle over its freedom and its future. General Dru-Zod (Colin Salmon) is now in control. He’s on a ruthless mission to rebuild Krypton according to his ideals and to secure its future by conquering the universe. Faced with a bleak outlook, our hero, Seg-El, attempts to unite a dispersed group of resisters in an effort to defeat Zod and restore hope to their beloved planet. Their chance at redemption is threatened however, by their opposing tactics, shifting alliances and conflicting moral boundaries – forcing each of them to individually determine how far they’re willing to go in pursuit of a better tomorrow.

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 (Constantine, The Last Ship), who serves as showrunner. Based on the DC characters created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, the series stars Cameron Cuffe (The Halcyon) as Seg-El, Georgina Campbell (Broadchurch) as Lyta-Zod, Shaun Sipos (The Vampire Diaries) as Adam Strange, Colin Salmon (Arrow) as General Dru-Zod, Ann Ogbomo (World War Z) as Jayna-Zod, Aaron Pierre (Britannia) as Dev-Em, Rasmus Hardiker (Your Highness) as Kem, Wallis Day (Will) as Nyssa-Vex, Blake Ritson (Da Vinci’s Demons) as Brainiac and Ian McElhinney (Game of Thrones) as Val-El.

Kinda reminds me of Smallville’s Doomsday.

I hope they don’t use that version.

I’m pretty sure that it’s a different Doomsday. Smallville, Man of Steel, Supergirl, and Krypton have all had a different actor who played the part of Zod. And since the movie and shows aren’t related to one another,I’m guessing the same will be true for Doomsday.

I’m not speaking about actors. In fact they said that Kryptoon’s Doomsday will have no actor at all (of course there will be one for motion capture but that’s a different kind of actor) and all we’ll see is going to be a puppet (in still moments) or full-CGI.
I was speaking about the version. The one used in New52 was very close to smallville’s one (Doomsday virus)…and it was horrible. The Batman v Superman…well…it made Smallville’s one look good.
I hope they follow the original one. By far the best version ever.

Maybe I didn’t clarify what I meant. I was talking about how each series has its own continuity and that they’re not related, and that the Doomsday in this series looks much like the Doomsday from Smallville in design. Not that they are related, just more comic book accurate. Also with each Zod as an example of different continuity’s as well. Sorry about the confusion, I should have clarified what I was saying better. Doomsday does look more comic book accurate for this series though. I do hope that they make him look realistic.

Both of us needed more explanation then 🙂
And yes, this one looks more comic accurate than any other else (the closest one until now was Smallville’s). I’ll have to take a look an next at Krypton’s next season. It looks as promising as its Lobo and Doomsday.

I hope that they have an episode where Brainiac and Doomsday fight each other.

As Lex had said in Superman the movie, and in Superman Returns, “ Mind over muscle?”.
