#Krypton cast series

We hope there is a role for RegГ©-Jean Page in the DC Universe someday - you know, they are looking to cast a new John Constantine and heвЂ™d likely be perfectвЂ¦ but, of course, itвЂ™s pretty certain that after Bridgerton Page can land any role he would possibly want.

No one should feel okay benefiting from individuals or institutions that treat their fellow humans so unjustly. вЂњRegГ© is an inspiration to me and thousands of other artists. The actor who did land the Seg-El on Krypton, Cameron Cuffe, has responded to PageвЂ™s Tweet. The clarifications almost hurt more tbh ,вЂќ he wrote.

вЂњHearing about these conversations hurts no less now than it did back then. Page responded to this today - or at least, it seems he did with the вЂњflyвЂќ reference - in a tweet. When Zod himself showed up, he arrived as played by actor Colin Salmon who is also not white. While Krypton was originally developed to look more like Man of Steel and its aesthetic, members of ZodвЂ™s family were, indeed, Black in the Syfy series, and didnвЂ™t look like Michael Shannon, so that excuse held no weight. Ray FisherвЂ™s accusations come alongside chatter that RegГ©-Jean Page was considered for the role of Seg-El on Krypton, as producers were passionate about non-traditional, open-ethnicity casting for the role of SupermanвЂ™s grandfather, only to allegedly be told by an executive that вЂњSuperman could not have a Black grandfather,вЂќ implying that one would expect the grandfather to look like Henry Cavill. The revelation came as a result of a deep-dive interview between The Hollywood Reporter and actor Ray Fisher who spoke up about issues involving race and executives involved with the Justice League film after original director Zack Snyder departed and was replaced by Whedon.

The starring role in вЂњKrypton,вЂќ which ran for two seasons from 2018 to 2019, eventually went to white actor Cameron Cuffe. In a statement paraphrased Tuesday by THR, a rep for Johns defended the casting decision on the grounds that the Hollywood exec вЂњbelieved fans expected the character to look like a young Henry Cavill,вЂќ who is white and plays Superman in the DC films. Despite the вЂњKryptonвЂќ creatorsвЂ™ reported desire to diversify the DC Extended Universe, then-DC chief creative officer Geoffrey Johns allegedly said SupermanвЂ™s grandfather could not be Black.
