Zap2It caught up with The Originals’ Charles Michael Davis were he discussed Klaus and Marcel’s power struggle.
“He’s patient right now. Things can definitely change but he knows not to freak out,” Charles Michael Davis tells Zap2it. “Losing the kingdom to Klaus was seemingly a failure, but definitely something to learn from. He’s still in the game.” Since “there’s no sort of timetable that applies like in the human world,” Marcel knows that “things change and times change and people’s interests change, so he’s going to stay pretty grounded and not make any rash decisions.”
Of course, just because Marcel is being patient doesn’t mean he’s not afraid of his co-ruler. “Trying to take him out and eliminate him shows fear and shows anxiety, but he’s also to be respected,” Davis says. “[Marcel] still comes from a place of principles. So even though he might fear [Klaus], he still respects him and he’s still willing to work around it and try to find an advantage against a seemingly unstoppable force.”
