Dr. Hannibal Lecter will be in a different territory in "Hannibal" season 3 premiere episode. He is not exactly disguising himself as another person while in Italy but how different would he be while in the European country?
In previous spoilers, the cannibalistic doctor was seen on a motorcycle chase. Series creator has also explained that it will be a James Bond moment for the doctor who in the first two seasons was working with the FBI.
In a recent interview with Den of Geek, Fuller said the leather jacket and motorcycle in the "Hannibal" season 3 premiere are incorporated to start the new season with a 'pop.'
"We wanted to start season three with a 'pop' and I knew very early on that season three had to start with Hannibal Lecter in a coal Belstaff motorcycle jacket riding a great Hog through the streets of Paris," Fuller said.
He added "Hannibal" season 3 premiere will be a lot different from the episodes of the first two seasons. This is to give fans a new perspective regarding the character. He added the motorcycle scene is something inspired by several action movies.
"It was, I'm sure, an amalgam of many movies I had seen of action stars racing through streets," he explianed.
"I just wanted to reintroduce the character to the audience in a way that they get to see a completely new perspective of who this man is, from the three-piece suited gentleman cannibal that we've experienced in the first two seasons, to a new level of almost James Bond spymanship with him assuming a different identity, being in a different country, moving among people as a predator."
Fuller insist though Mads Mikkelsen's character will stay dapper as the suits he is known for will remain.
"That's not to say that we get rid of the fancy suits, because he has beautiful suits too."
"Hannibal" season 3 premiere is on June 4.
