Ann Ogbomo
Ann Ogbomo is an actor.
Ann Ogbomo is an English actress best known for a run of DC Comics adaptations. She plays Philippus, one of the Amazons, in Wonder Woman and in Zack Snyder's Justice League, and she led a much larger part as Jayna-Zod across two seasons of the Syfy series Krypton. She also played Gault in the Netflix adaptation of The Sandman.
The parts she gets tend to require bearing rather than dialogue, and she is very good at supplying it: in the Amazon scenes she reads as the senior soldier in the room without being given the lines to say so. Krypton is the one place the catalogue lets her carry a story, and a lead role with real conflict in it turns out to suit her.
The rest of her screen credits are brief: a soldier in World War Z, Janet in The Last Letter from Your Lover, an operator in We Live in Time, Christine Wyatt in the supernatural mystery The Rising, and Michelle in the forthcoming Surviving Earth. Our source has no birth date or birthplace for her, and rather than guess, this page leaves them out.

Where to start with Ann Ogbomo
Watch Wonder Woman first, but be clear about what you are watching: a handful of Themyscira scenes in which Philippus has to read as a senior figure among the Amazons on posture alone. She does. Zack Snyder's Justice League brings the character back at slightly greater length.
Krypton is the actual showcase and the reason to look her up at all, since Jayna-Zod is a lead role with two seasons of political and family conflict to work through. Watch that if you want to see what she can do with real material.
After that the catalogue thins quickly. World War Z and We Live in Time are single-scene appearances, and The Rising gives her a supporting role in a British ghost story.
