Charlotte Hale was introduced in season two as a power player at Delos, the company in charge of Westworld's parks and its resident "host" robots, though she has always been seen as one of the characters.
The host since the end of season two, when her human body was swapped for a synthetic one, and her consciousness was replaced with a mind-copy of Westworld's prime robot, "Halores." Thompson talked to io9 at a recent Westworld press roundtable about how the fourth season sees less distraction between the two. There are no season fourSPOILERS here.
Thompson said that Hale's plan is larger than just a desire for power. It has always been her fundamental nature, both as a host and as Hale. This season really has to do with what should be the future of host-kind. There is a righteous path in her mind that she is carving for everyone. The best leaders don't make anyone do anything People want to do things because of the strength of their leadership and ideas. I don't know if Hale understands that, but I think she's trying to make people see things her way. She thinks she is doing the right thing. I enjoy watching people who do bad things for good reasons. Humans do that a lot. I really liked that about her.
Ed Harris will reprise his role as the Man in Black, the character who is both host and human, in the fourth season of the show. It feels like there has been a reversal between the two of them. There is a lot about the show that looks at power, and I think there is a game going on between these two. There has been a reversal.
Harris said yes. You like the reversal. He gets his comeuppance in a lot of different ways.
Thompson made us curious to see what was in store for these two villains. The fourth season of Westworld will premiere on June 26th.
