Who plays Stephen Bonnet on "Outlander"? You can recognize the villain of season 4 in your favorite children's movie

Outlander Season 4 should start on Sunday, November 4th, and Jamie and Claire will be back in love more than ever (if that's possible). But like every season up to now, the forces will conspire to maintain the separated couple and endanger it. One of these forces is a villain more formidable than any we've seen in the series: a terrifying pirate turned smuggler named Stephen Bonet, played by Ed Speleers.

The man behind this new Big Bad should be quite recognizable to the viewers. No stranger to the small screen or Speleers previously appeared in BBC dramas Wolf Hall and The downtown abbey, and also honored the big screen in Breathe and Alice through the mirror. But fans of the children's fantasy book series Eragon might remember Speleers' best of the film adaptation of the same name, in which he played the role of the main character. It was his first role at age 17 and Speleers willingly admitted that it was difficult to get into such a difficult part. "It was a baptism of fire in some ways," he said. Interview Magazine in 2016. "I did not know how a camera worked. I did not know anything about this world. "

Even though landing such an important role at such a young age was a great success for Speleers, he confessed to having The Guardian that fame came to his head. "I found all the experience upsetting.It is a stupid cliche, but if I knew what I know now, I would have played differently," he said. "I was already quite arrogant and I was immersed in this world, I drank too much and I drank too much.I lost my concentration.I thought to myself:" This thing you wanted to do in life, you probably will not do it anymore. "

But Speleers managed to make a comeback, and although he may have started as a hero, his new part will inspire everything but the admiration of viewers. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, OutlanderActors and the film crew revealed that Bonnet would be an even more formidable opponent than Black Jack Randall in Seasons 1 and 2.

"It's hard to beat Black Jack, but we have with Bonnet," said Sam Heughan (aka Jamie Fraser). "Ed Speleers is committed to doing it.People will hate him.He is so charming, so you like him a bit, but you find out later that he is doing really terrible things. This is a new big bad guy. " Executive producer Maril Davis added in the same interview: "[Speleers is] such a good guy in real life but it's really dark. He is really a villain with charm and danger and he is adorable. "

So, Speleers might not exactly win the heart of Outlander the fans – far from it, it sounds. But one thing is certain: you will not forget it.
