Exclusive: Groundbreaking 3 Body Problem Character Secrets Revealed by Star Returning with Game of Thrones Creators

Summary

Liam Cunningham discusses his character in the upcoming Netflix series 3 Body Problem, describing him as a big departure from his previous role in Game of Thrones.

Mr. Wade, a character in Cunningham, exemplifies an exceptional individual who is deeply involved in both the intelligence community and scientific endeavors, specifically in the fields of theoretical physics and quantum entanglement.

Considering its renowned source material and the triumphs of Game of Thrones, 3 Body Problem holds immense potential for success under the co-creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss.

Liam Cunningham has shared fresh insights into his character in the upcoming Netflix series "3 Body Problem." The series, based on the novel by Chinese author Liu Cixin, marks the reunion of Cunningham with Game of Thrones co-creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss. Cunningham, known for his role as Ser Davos Seaworth in Game of Thrones, will be joined by John Bradley and Jonathan Pryce in the cast. In an interview with Variety, Cunningham revealed that his character, Mr. Wade, is a departure from his previous roles and will surprise viewers who expect him to only play a certain type of character.

He is an exceptional individual, unlike anyone I have portrayed before. The irony is that what Benioff and Weiss wanted me to do in "Game of Thrones" was completely different from what they have asked of me for this role. In "Game of Thrones," my character Seaworth was seen as a gentle moral compass, but Wade is the complete opposite. People who have seen me play similar characters will be in for a surprise, to say the least.

Mr. Wade is quite challenging to handle. He is involved in the intelligence community and his work is heavily rooted in theoretical physics and quantum entanglement, as well as other scientific pursuits. However, as the show progresses, we encounter non-scientific individuals who become part of Mr. Wade's business circle.

Will Benioff & Weiss’ 3 Body Problem Out Perform Game of Thrones?

The impact of Benioff and Weiss on modern television cannot be underestimated. Despite criticisms of the final season of Game of Thrones, the show remains one of the most successful dramas ever. With impressive viewership and award nominations, Benioff and Weiss have set a high standard for future prestige series. Netflix's 3 Body Problem, an English translation of Cixin's acclaimed novel and its sequels, has the potential to be another major success for the pair, given its popularity in introducing Chinese science fiction to English-speaking audiences and endorsements from notable figures like George R.R. Martin and Barack Obama.

Additionally, since all three books in Cixin's Remembrance of Earth's Past trilogy are already completed, Benioff and Weiss may have the opportunity to circumvent the challenges they encountered while finishing Game of Thrones without Martin's concluding input. Only time will reveal whether the 3 Body Problem will surpass their previous fantasy series in terms of success, yet it certainly possesses the capacity to offer a truly unforgettable experience.
