Foundation Season 3 Interview: Pilou Asbæk Reveals Which Harry Potter Villain Inspired The Mule
14Foundation Season 3 is gearing up to premiere its third season on AppleTV+ this week, and the stakes in the galaxy are higher than ever. With the Galactic Empire and the Cleonic dynasty facing collapse, they're forced to forge an unlikely alliance with the ever-expanding Foundation as both groups are faced with a new threat to the galaxy — The Mule.
Joining Foundation Season 3 and taking over the pivotal role of The Mule after a brief appearance by Mikael Persbrandt is Pilou Asbæk, once again stepping into the shoes of a villain for the science fiction series. The Mule is one of the most dangerous figures in Isaac Asimov's novels, a mutant with the ability to manipulate emotions, posing a direct threat to Hari Seldon's (Jared Harris) psychohistorical plan and introducing chaos into a system designed to predict and control the future.
Collider's Steve Weintraub interviewed Asbæk ahead of Season 3 to dig into what it was like to join the series in its third season. Asbæk reveals the process of crafting The Mule for the series and how he had to change versus his characterization in Asimov's writing, and how the scale of Foundation lends itself to plenty of surprises during filming. Asbæk also discusses his knack for portraying villains on-screen and why he finds himself rooting for the villain to win.
