- The newcomer of the series has also revealed why it is so fun to play villain characters.
Base Season 3 will present the scary villain of the program so far in the mule, and Pilou Asbaek has caused what viewers can expect from their opinion about the favorite fans antagonist.
Talking to techradar before BaseThe return of July 11, Asbaek revealed that his version of the character will be a kind of deviation of how it is represented in the homonym of the Isaac Asimov book series.
In Asimov's best -selling novels, the mule is a weed individual who demonstrates looks can be misleading. In fact, the mule is one of the most powerful mental ones, humans who have incredibly powerful psychic skills to live in the fictional universe of Asimov. Due to its weak appearance, its enemies constantly underestimate it, which allows you to conquer vast strips of the galaxy before the Empire or the Foundation can gather an answer to the growing threat it raises.
The mule retains its telepathic superpowers in the adaptation of live action of Apple. But, like Base The official trailer of season 3 revealed that he is a much more imposing character than he has presented in the books.
“It needs to be a large and immediate threat to the empire and the base,” Asbaek told me about the decision to make the mule higher and more muscular in the Apple TV+space opera. “Then, he is physically different. It is a fairly large and wide guy that is also richer, brutal and impolite of what has described in the brilliant books of Asimov.”
The altered construction of the mule is less surprising when you think last season. How I covered in me Base The explained piece of season 2, the mule makes a brief cameo before the end of the sequence of the final credits. The deranged villain, who was interpreted in that scene by Mikael Persbrandt before being replaced by Asbaek as part of a shaking of season 3, was equally high in stature. So, there is some continuity between the iterations of Persbrandt and Asbaek of the character from a fisical perspective.
However, Asbaek is aware that some Asimov fans of literary works could make an exception of how the mule is represented in one of the best Apple TV+programs. Perhaps, as expected, it has already prepared for any possible reaction.
“I have made some adaptations – Ghost in the shell and game of Thrones (Got), for example, so I've been on that path, “he reflected.” I know that some people will like [my take on The Mule] And some will not, but it is my job to do the best possible version in collaboration with the creative team.
“I didn't know that Mikael had done it, but I knew about the program and what I wanted to contribute to the character,” he added. “It's the same as someone who adapts a work by Shakespeare. We have seen a million different versions of VillageSo this is just my interpretation of the mule. “
As for how the mule differs from GotEuron Grayjoy, the unpleasant and hungry character of power that Asbaek played in one of the best HBO Max shows, or any other villain who has played, Asbaek said: “It is probably the most human I have interpreted. [that’s the case].
“At the end of the day, it's just a child who wants to be loved,” Asbaek continued. “I was very inspired by the French novel 'The Little Prince'. That is also the reason why he [The Mule] He has a red coat, because he wanted to look like little prince, who comes to our world because he wants to know what he is human and have emotions. That is the only thing that the mule does not have. It is unique in its class and, throughout this season, you will discover what happens when you don't understand what you want. “
