Back in October of 2018, we learned that Guardians of the Galaxy alum Emmett J. Scanlan would bring the interstellar mercenary to life in Season 2 of Krypton . Per Syfy, Lobo is "a ruthless bounty hunter, who murdered his entire species, and possesses a genius level intellect when it comes to matters of warfare, making him a deadly adversary."

For a closer look at the alien in action, check out the new trailer below:IGN asked Scanlan if he drew inspiration from any of the previous Lobo interactions - comic books, DC animated series, etc. "Comic books, yes for sure," Scanlan explained. "Plus I was surrounded by a team of Lobo fanatics. Cam Welsh (showrunner) and Cam Cuffe (Seg-El) know their Lobo inside out. My barometer was 'Are they happy?' My job was to inject life into this beast, and with the boys, the comics, the scripts, and the world already built, I had a plethora of stuff to pick from... Once I found the characters inner music, his heartbeat, I just danced."In Krypton Season 2, we'll see "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," according to a synopsis from Syfy.Krypton Season 2 premieres on Syfy on Wednesday, June 12, 2019.
