The Blacklist is back.The hit NBC darkhorse drama returns this September and we can not wait. This year we get see an all new side to Liz (Megan Boone). If being framed for treason isn’t bad enough Liz and Red (Avengers Age of Ultron) will also have their hands for with the new villain, Mr. Solomon, played by X-Men: First Class and Twilight actor Edi Gathegi.
Blacklist executive producer, John Eisendrath, recently opened up to TV Guide about this year’s new villain:
"There's a character named Mr. Solomon who is going to be entering the landscape and is not friendly in any way to Liz or Red or the people they care about.”
Blacklist creator, Jon Bokenkamp, went on to discuss casting the villain:
"We've cast Edi Gathegi for that role. He was in Twilight, Justified, a show called Proof. He's just so charismatic."
In Season 3 will also see Liz embrace her inner criminal as Bokenkamp added:
"We are going to see glimpses of a criminal past that we've hinted at before. In the pilot, Red said, 'Think like a criminal. It may come easier to you than you think.' We're going to see whispers of her past and how that sort of thinking may be useful in some of these desperate situations."
