‘Those About to Die’ Star Iwan Rheon on Why Tenax ‘Created a Monster,’ and How His ‘Game of Thrones’ Villain Ramsay Bolton Would Fare in the Roman Colosseum
'Those About to Die' star Iwan Rheon on the dangerous situation Tenax is in at the end of Season 1 — and where he stands with Domitian and Cala.
It all goes back to his messy alliance with Domitian (Jojo Macari), the youngest son of the late Emperor Vespasian (Anthony Hopkins), who never quite accepted his older brother Titus (Tom Hughes) succeeding their father on the throne. After they preside over the bloody and arousing opening day of the Flavian Amphitheatre –– what we now know as the Roman Colosseum, built under their father’s rule –– Titus drags Domitian out to hear the evidence against him, a betrayal he says is punishable by death. In their final scene, he tells Cala he should kill her for knowing his emperor-slaying side hustle, and she resolutely meets his threat with a fact he can’t refute –– he needs her to run his businesses now that he has his hands full with Domitian.
