First look at Brian Austin Green as Metallo in ‘Smallville’

Eagerly awaiting the 9th season of ‘Smallville’? The CW let loose the first pic from the episode 9×02 “Metallo”!

Here’s an excerpt from TV Guide:

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 won’t 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 he’ll get sleeker.”

So might we see him again? “Well of course—it’s Smallville,” she says with a laugh. “We’re actually throwing some ideas around right now in the hopes that we might be able to bring him back for another episode.”

So far it seems this season might turn out to be one to remember. What do you think?
