Speaking of action, one character who is involved in some key action moments is Anne Charrier’s Marion Genet, the evil leader of a survivor group in France called Pouvoir des Vivants (power of the living). Genet is powerful enough to bring a man, who is almost double her size, to his knees at the snap of a finger. On what explains Genet’s influence, Charrier says, “I think it is her self-confidence. Most of the tyrants are not that powerful. It is their charisma and aura that pull people. And at one stage, people who are desperate need to follow a leader. Whoever is telling them that they will make things better for them, they will follow that person.” Despite the cruelty that Genet exerts on some of the other characters, Charrier regards her kindness as the most attractive characteristic. “Even though Genet is really cruel, she can be kind sometimes,” says Charrier. However, Romain Levi, who plays Stephane Codron, disagrees with Charrier’s view. Charrier is quick to retort, “She has been kind to you at some stage.” And Levi light-heartedly replies, “Alright.”
Levi plays Pouvoir warrior Codron, a character with a personal vendetta against Daryl Dixon. Ironically, Codron has a better ‘vision’ of the world and develops a strong sense of empathy after he loses an eye. On the paradoxical nature of his character, Levi says, “It is really awful to see his eyes like that. But I like the fact that what you see is not exactly what is inside. It is a beautiful idea.” The second season of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon premieres on November 12 on Prime Video.
