Prince Lotor is coming to Voltron Season 3 on Netflix, and that’s only the beginning!
Hes got a master plan hes looking to execute, Hedrick says.
Theres gonna be a lot of upcoming trials and tribulations for our team in dealing with that.
In the original 1984Voltronseries, Lotor was the son of King Zarkon.
Hed get in dramatic sword battles with Keith and pilot robeasts himself.
Lotor was a much more proactive villain than his father.
Hes not playing by Zarkons rulebook.
This is just like the original series, where Lotor was always scheming against Zarkon to usurp his rule.
TheGoLionversion of Zarkon kidnapped an Altean woman and thus theGoLionversion of Lotor was born.
Bex Taylor-Klaus (Pidge) adds, That could even be an understatement.
This lines up with Hedricks statement.
Jeremy Shada (Lance) is excited that all the cast members have some great drama points.
He then goes on to joke, I mean like, Lance dies so that was a fun moment.
A lot of these drama points will undoubtly deal with the fallout of the team losing Shiro.
With their team leader gone, how will the other Paladins step up?
Will Keith take on piloting the Black Lion as he did in the season two premiere?
Will Allura pilot a lion?
Will Lance leap into the Red Lion as he did in the original series?
Dos Santos tells fans theres a bigger picture at hand and to just stick along for the ride.
And we went, Hes coming.
Second season came out and theyre like, Wheres Hunk and Lance?
We love each character equally were not trying to write anyone out of the show.
Its the risk of doing an ensemble cast.
What about the giant robot itself?
At the end of season two Voltron showed off a whole new weapon with the blazing sword.
Will we be seeing more new powers?
Dos Santos said I think the characters and Voltron are all evolving.
Ultimately we are trying to make a show that is attempting to sell as many toys as humanly possible.
We try not to think that way honestly when creating the show.
Were just trying to tell a cool story with compelling characters.
All that stuff is on the table.
Voltron: Legendary Defenderseason three drops on Netflix in September 2017.
