Zachary Quinto may well be the main villain of Heroes – but when asked about the development of his role in Volume One of the third season, which is titled Villains – the actor chooses to take the fifth.
During the recent Summer Press tour many actors and producers of the series have told SciFiWire and other press outlets that the opening 12 episodes of the third season will explore the darker side of not just the villains – but also our heroes as well. In fact some cast members as well as producers are even suggesting that Quinto’s character of Sylar may well have some virtuous qualities that could shine through during this years episodes.
“[It's] possible,” Quinto said coyly in an interview at the Television Critics Association summer press tour in Beverly Hills, Calif., last week. “It depends on what his motivation is, you know what I’m saying? He has a lot of different reasons to do things this year. They’re not all originating from himself, you know? Like, he’s being put in situations where he has to do stuff for other people.”
Quinto did reveal that Sylars main theme for season three will be conflict. “Yeah, yeah. A lot of conflict.” Whether this means that he will have to deal with some kind of internal conflict or an external conflict as yet remains to be seen – but there have been some rumours that Sylar is actually working for someone within one of the shadowing organisations in the series.
Obviously with this years season focusing on Villains – Sylar will not be alone. “There’s going to be more than just me, like it’s not just about me,” Quinto said. “It’s exploring the idea of villainy in a lot of different ways, with different people. It’s going to be a very action-packed beginning of the year, for sure.”
What else? “I go someplace I’ve wanted to go for a long time,” Quinto said cryptically. “That’s true.”
Heroes makes its come back on 22, September on NBC – and the series will make its UK Premier probably a week to 10 days later on BBC2.
