Syfy's Superman prequel Krypton has cast its lead.
Newcomer Cameron Cuffe will play Superman's grandfather in the drama pilot from David S. Goyer, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
The project is set two generations before the destruction of the legendary Man of Steel's home planet. Krypton will follow Superman's grandfather — whose House of El was ostracized and shamed — as he fights to redeem his family's honor and save his beloved world from chaos.
Here's how Cuffe's character is described: Destined to be the ancestor of Jor-El (future father of Superman) and Kal-El (the future Superman), Seg-El is the scion of the once prosperous El family and is blessed with an intuitive brilliance for all things technical; he is now living in Krypton’s lowest caste after his family was stripped of its rank.
