The upcoming Superman: Man of Tomorrow is already taking shape, with Brainiac all but confirmed as the villain and Frank Grillo recently revealing that he will have a bigger role in the sequel as Rick Flag Sr.

Reprising his role from the first Superman and Peacemaker season 2, Grillo confirmed in a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter that fans can expect to see him a bit more on the big screen next time around. "My character, Rick Flag Sr., is a big part of the sequel’s story, so I'm excited about it," he said.

Last July, Grillo predicted that his appearance in the new movie will be closer to the animated version of his character (who he also voices) in Creature Commandos. "I think the next time, if they don't fire me, the next time I'm in something, it's white hair. I was on another show, Tulsa King, and it was literally back-to-back, and during, and so I couldn't… And people really were not happy about it. They were really mean about my dark hair," he told GQ.
