The Cape: Interview with the Villain, James Frain

NBC's The Cape is premiering mid-season, but the publicity machine is already kicking into gear. The show focuses on a framed cop who becomes his son's favorite comic book hero to bring justice to their city. The flip side of that coin is James Frain as the show's villain, Peter Fleming.

In an interview with EW, Frain explained, "No one has any real powers. It’s about cunning and skill. It’s very serious in its intent. But it’s also light in the way it’s played. It is closer to Batman in that the people don’t have powers. Supervillain equals job security as long as people like the show and we get picked up. It is a completely new story. It is not based on a comic book or an old character. It is a completely new and inventive mythology. The show creator Tom Wheeler has the whole first season mapped out. He has the whole thing in his mind and he is slowly revealing it to us. And it’s cool. I really hope people will give it a chance to reveal itself to them. We are in the thick of shooting and we are supposed to come on in January. Wish us luck.”
