Arrow - Season 3 - John Barrowman Interview

Thanks to SHIELDNCISArrowfan for the Submission.


John Barrowman: “I don’t know if Malcolm really cares about redemption. I don’t know if Malcolm really cares about what people think about him. But he does care about Thea (Willa Holland). Ironically he doesn’t care about Oliver (Stephen Amell). He does care about Tommy (Colin Donnell).

On Malcolm’s motives and relationship with Thea in Season 3:

John Barrowman: “This is so difficult. It is going to be the most destructive, dysfunctional father/daughter relationship you’re ever going to see on television. It’s going to be shocking. It’s going to be amazing. And it’s going to be thrilling. There’s going to be a lot of jaw-dropping moments with this, because it’s not going to be what you expect. Him looking after her. Possibly him loathing her?

Malcolm comes from a place, we all know he’s been to Nanda Parbat – we all know what history that has [home of the League of Assassins/Ra's Al Ghul], we all know where Malcolm, shall we say, trained – had qualities… that’s why he was able to mimic dying. Everybody says he doesn’t look [old] enough to have Tommy, but where he was has rejuvenating qualities.

If you know your history of DC, as I do because I’m a huge nerd… so take all of that on-board on what he might have to do. But I’m telling you honestly, some of it I don’t know. This is John Barrowman, fan talking, and maybe that’s going to be brought in, I hope, with Thea and maybe something across to Ollie.

But if there’s a new big villain maybe arise? I don’t know if it does, I would love to see, as a fan, Malcolm and Ollie and Roy (Colton Haynes) and Thea banding to try to defeat [it]. Because it would be the most dysfunctional Justice League. ‘Dysfunctional League’. ‘Dysfunctional Justice’. #DysfunctionalJustice. Awesome. That’s mine. You can tweet it first, but say that I created it.”

On if Malcolm’s story this season will have flashbacks:

John Barrowman: “I don’t know. We will pick up with Malcolm and Thea where we left off. So her getting into the back of the limo, looking exceptionally hot – it’s kind of creepy to say that about my daughter – in the black leather coat and the boots, that conversation is going to happen.

We haven’t shot any of that yet, so I’m really looking forward to it. I just came back from the UK. I flew in two days ago. Then I drove to my house in Palm Springs. Unpacked my stuff. Packed again. Came here. I have all the scripts I have yet to read.
