Ben Barnes Teases His Character's Villain Era in Shadow and Bones
While fans are waiting for the Shadow and Bone season 2, lead actors are giving them something to think about their characters.
For example, Ben Barnes seems quite familiar with his character General Kirigan and he wants the audience to understand him as well.
Barnes told TVLine that the Darkling doesn't handle rejection well.
And after Alina turned down his offer to rule side by side and after being swept away by one of his Volcra in the Fold – Barnes' character most likely is returning to the show as a rage-filled monster.
"Whilst he is the evil, toxic, nasty presence that is seething all over Season 2, he also feels betrayed and abandoned and rejected and alone — unloved at this point, even by his own mom," Barnes tells TVLine.
Barnes explained that his character is justifying the way that he is being, even if it's not possible for anybody else to.
"In the first season, he has all these different weapons in terms of his army, his charm, his skills in manipulation. In the second season, all that is out the window, and he's just more full-on rage," the actor said.
While the Shadow Summoner is all angry trying to find out what to do, in new coming episodes Alina is finally accepting her destiny as the Sun Summoner and so the only one able to bring down the Fold. She is now ready to be the leader.
Meanwhile, Genya will spend the new season grappling with the abuse she suffered from the king of Ravka, a position she was ultimately placed in by Kirigan.
"In life, you can't choose your pain, but you can choose how to let that pain define you and whether it can strengthen or weaken you. I think we gradually see that Genya gets stronger, " Daisy Head, who plays Genya, explains.
Only one day is left until we become part of the huge war that is going to happen between two summoners' worlds. And let's just hope that merzost won't win this one.
