Former GAME OF THRONES Actress Hannah Waddingham Will Play The Villainous Jax-Ur On SyFy's KRYPTON
Following her small but memorable role as Unella, a.k.a. "The Shame Nun", on HBO's Game of Thrones, Hannah Waddingham will appear as Kryptonian criminal Jax-Ur on SyFy's Superman prequel show, Krypton...
According to Deadline, British actress Hannah Waddingham has been cast as Jax-Ur on SyFy's Krypton.
Traditionally depicted as a man, Jax-Ur is an amoral but brilliant Kryptonian scientist who was sentenced to The Phantom Zone along with General Zod and the rest of his minions. This small-screen take on the character is described as having "deep ties to Krypton’s past, Jax-Ur is now determined to bring radical change to Krypton as leader of the underground terrorist organization, Black Zero."
Waddingham was primarily known for her work on the stage, but she'll be most recognisable 'round these parts for her small role as Septa "Shame Nun" Unella on Game of Thrones. She's also appeared in the likes of 12 Monkeys and In The Club.
Krypton is set to premiere on March 21.
