Titans Season 4: Joseph Morgan Shares Look at Brother Blood's Playlist
Damn, these updates on how things are going with HBO Max's Titans have been flowing along nicely lately. Late yesterday, we shared a look at a very interesting behind-the-scene clip that director Nicholas Copus posted (more on that below). Now, we have Joseph Morgan (The Originals) back to offer some unique insight into his Sebastian Sangre/Brother Blood. And no, we're not talking about an on-set look or even an image from the season (though please keep those coming). Morgan is taking fans inside Sebastian's mind via his playlist of inspiring music. Posting it on his Instagram Stories with the note that it's a work in progress, the current playlist includes Muse, The Smashing Pumpkins, Eminem, and more (even Marilyn Manson, though we're curious to see if that one gets a social media reaction).
Now here's a look back at the brief video clip that Copus shared showing off a very fascinating "Metropolis City Limit" sign:
Back in October 2021, Brenton Thwaites spoke with EW about his hopes for the fourth season before the news was official:
Bringing More Characters Into the Spotlight is Key: "Well, it's more to do with the characters that I haven't seen come to light yet, that I would really love to come to the front of the screen and have major storylines. I'd love to see a storyline develop between Superboy and the Titans. There's a lot of juice in that because we've seen a lot of him be good and a team player, and really attach himself to Dick's morals and values. But we all know there's this hidden dark side in that character that I think would be really interesting to explore. That's one of my favorite characters. I think Josh plays that very well, that flippant double-sided good-and-bad character."
For Thwaites, "It's All About the Villain": "'Titans' is a series that structurally evolves around a villain or two. In the first season, it was two villains. In the second it was Deathstroke. In the third it was Crane. So I'm really interested to see who the season 4 villain is, or who are the multiple villains that will be in the series. What are the different ways the Titans can band together to defeat this villain? Or what are the ways that this villain can rupture that circle and break us away? Who are we going to boldly kill off, if we want to kill off someone? This season we killed off Hank [Ritchson]. Hank was such a strong character for us. We're all very sad to see him go, but that was such a great move for the season and for the show. So we might do that again. I'm really not sure, mate. I'm excited to see anything happen.
Titans Season 4 Could Be a Universe of Possibilities: "There's so many possibilities with 'Titans.' We could go intergalactic to Tamran and explore that relationship a little bit more. They could come to Earth, and we could have this big alien explosion. Dick could explore his relationship with Bruce Wayne [Iain Glen] a little bit. Maybe they could start developing a personal relationship that's a little detached from the business side of the father-son thing that Dick has always felt a certain level of animosity towards him. In season 3 it was nice to see that returned a little bit and to see that Dick is starting to find himself and starting to get his confidence. He's his own superhero. But perhaps Bruce Wayne is starting to deteriorate a little bit and fall off the bandwagon? That's an interesting dynamic as well. Then the other big one [is] Tim Drake. Jay has done such a great job of playing that kid who really wants to be involved, but maybe he's not there yet. It'd be great to see him come to light and get his confidence and learn the ropes of being a superhero."
