First Look at
Smallville's Metallo

He was killed by a robotic assassin in
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles last spring, and now
Brian Austin Green is coming back to TV as a different kind of cyborg. In a two-episode arc on
Smallville (beginning with the September 25 season premiere), Green plays John Corben, a new
Daily Planet reporter who becomes the comic-book villain
Metallo. In the aftermath of an accident, Corben is mysteriously outfitted with a heart made of kryptonite. Executive producer Kelly Souders wont reveal the identity of his Frankenstein-esque savoir, but says Corben is turned into a rough version of Metallo, a first attempt at the technology, and eventually hell get sleeker.
So might we see him again? Well of courseits Smallville, she says with a laugh. Were actually throwing some ideas around right now in the hopes that we might be able to bring him back for another episode.
