- Cameron Cuffe, Krypton, TV, 2018-2019. Our hero was Seg-El, grandfather of the future Jor-El – Superman to we earthlings. But the DC Films chairman, Geoff Johns made it quite clear: “Superman could not have a black grandfather.” Fans, he said would expect Grandad to look like Henry Cavill, the current Supie. The handsome Page carried on auditioning and won a Netflix show called… Bridgerton. And it (and Page) conquered the world. Indeed he rapidly became the #1 favourite to be the eighth Jams Bond – but settled for rebooting Simon Templar: The Saint, instead) While poor Seg-El (aha, Supie’s co-creator was Jerry Siegel) was buried after two seasons.
- Will Poulter, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3, 2022. Among the actors having to yeild to Poulter as Marvel’s Adam Warlock were the 1917 and Bridgerton breakthroughs: George MacKay and Regé.
