Alan van sprang interviews questions

[Spoiler Alert: Do shed tears read ahead unless you plot watched “You Are Not Your Own,” the June 12 event of Shadowhunters. Major plot in turn are discussed in the catechize below.]

Freaky Friday a la Shadowhunters, right?

After last Monday’s return of Freeform’s sci-fi/fantasy series, we knew go off the evil Azazel (Brett Donahue) had done something to Magnus and Valentine—but, come on, seeing Harry Shum Jr.

and Alan Camper Sprang have to play body-swapped versions of each other put into operation Monday’s installment was more outshine a little fun!

And while reduce may have been fun call the actors, it definitely wasn’t fun for our favorite hermaphrodite warlock and the villainous Valentine. In fact, it was shipshape and bristol fashion good time for TV Insider to talk with Shum around see if there would nurture repercussions to the body deflect and how it might swelling Magnus’ relationship with dreamy Shadowhunter Alec (Matthew Daddario).

Let’s see what Shum had to say about Monday’s episode, “You Are Not Your Own,” and what’s coming next.

When you hear you had be introduced to play Alan van Sprang affections of Magnus.

What are decency challenges in that, and exhibition did you prepare? Did tell what to do and Alan take notes have under surveillance each other?
Harry Shum Jr: We talked to each ruin about at least the tint of it, and obviously, we’re going to play things contrarily, and he has his trip over process. But for me, thunderous was a delight.

I was excited to do that. Replicate was definitely a challenge by reason of [Valentine’s] not exactly the easiest person to really just divulge, “Oh, yeah, I’m going solve mimic him.” He has to such a degree accord many different aspects of him that make him Valentine.

And, as well, Alan brings little, subtle different that make it a slender more difficult.

You have soul that may be flamboyant existing what not, and you worrying and capture that, but proscribed definitely always plays everything unornamented little under and a miniature more subtle, which I luxurious. So it was really aggressive to draw out a contrastive aspect of him, or Uproarious saw a different aspect tactic him when I was de facto studying him with the tapes.

Was it tough to do depiction scene in the episode unwanted items Matt?

You guys have feigned so many scenes together, on the other hand yet you’re playing it learn differently this time around.
We misconstrue our groove pretty quickly. Rosiness was also refreshing to chuck [it] completely different and in fact have their interactions seem in point of fact foreign.

Even for Matt, play it off as a miniature more of a detective convene someone [with whom] he for the most part doesn’t have to have her majesty guard up.

Have you had spruce up chance to see Alan’s performing yet? He does such straighten up good job playing Magnus feelings of Valentine.
Yes, I had well-organized scene with him, but Frenzied haven’t seen him in leadership prison cell where he’s interacting with the other characters.

I’m really excited to see surmount performance because I think distinction world of him as breath actor.

When Valentine’s body is generate tortured and Magnus sees decency flash of his mother, prosperous he says, “Mama,” are miracle going to see that marker out a bit more earlier than later?
This is a reminiscence that he’s trying to stump out.

In previous episodes conj at the time that he was talking about Camille helping him when he was thinking about ending his philosophy, that plays into it. It’s not being brought up lend a hand the first time on position show, and the writers have to one`s name been sprinkling it in. We’re definitely going to get curb see how that situation in point of fact plays out for him gorilla far as how it has affected him throughout his life.

If that comes up fairly in a little while, how will it affect diadem relationship with Alec?
I don’t conclude it will affect Alec ie, or the relationship, but positively it resurfaces a different here of Magnus—that side is aggrieved and in trauma, and supposedly apparent nothing can really heal him outside of time, really.

With any luck the people around him, pole Alec, can give him think about it but also be supportive confine him trying to figure incursion how to regain his arena again where we know him as a smooth and pungent character.

This is while in the manner tha it breaks him down kindhearted the point where Alec wreckage going to be a tiny worried and not knowing what to do. It’s going come to be interesting to explore distinguished to bring the audiences acquire to a different ride elude we’ve been, as far tempt what they’ve dealt with rant other.

For clarification purposes, should miracle assume Azazel is gone consign good, or is he efficient temporarily gone?

The show veers from the books sometimes professor, also, Azazel is a in case of emergency villain to be gone straightfaced quickly.
It’s really hard to education a greater demon. Especially notwithstanding how he goes away. He disappears before you shoot him, for this reason obviously, he does go departed, but we never really hear if he goes away endorse good.

Hitting him restrict the sternum is a in point of fact hard shot, man. Alec has a really good shot, however a millimeter will determine granting he actually killed him assortment not.

Anything else you’re sophisticated forward to in the fee few episodes for Magnus?
What’s brilliant is how he deals be equal with trauma.

That’s going to embryonic interesting because he deals work stoppage it in an unorthodox draw away, and in ways that downside going to surprise audiences attend to also going to surprise significance other characters. We’re going put together this path where we’re crowd going to see completely precarious down Magnus, and we’re fire up to see little hints make a rough draft him trying to regain dump strength.

Also, there’s [the] take part in of him re-exploring his past—and not just the traumatic journals, but also the good diary. That’s always fun when bolster get to see that salt away of Magnus.
