As fans eagerly await Interview With The Vampire season 3, set to adapt The Vampire Lestat, one popular theory regarding Daniel Molloy’s future has been debunked by actor Eric Bogosian. In an interview with Nerdist, Bogosian clarified a mystery surrounding a brief glimpse of a tattoo shown in the 2024 San Diego Comic-Con trailer, which read, “Armand told the truth.”
Many fans speculated that the tattoo might belong to Bogosian’s character, Daniel Molloy, due to his connection with Armand (played by Assad Zaman) in the series. However, Bogosian quickly shot down this theory, explaining that the arm in question was not his. He attributed the detail to a creative decision made by showrunner Rolin Jones, revealing that it was a subtle addition meant to intrigue viewers, but not a hint about Daniel’s storyline.
What This Means for Interview With The Vampire Season 3
Given the intricate dynamics between Daniel and Armand in the show, it’s easy to see why fans assumed the tattoo was connected to their relationship. The two characters, often referred to by fans as “The Devil’s Minion,” have had a tumultuous history that has shifted from predator and prey to business partners and tragic lovers. However, the television series has already taken significant liberties with the timeline from Anne Rice’s novels, making this theory unlikely.
In the show, while Armand’s initial interest in Daniel dates back to their 1973 meeting, the two are far more estranged in the present day. After Armand turns Daniel—seemingly out of spite for Daniel’s role in exposing the truth to Louis—the pair’s relationship becomes strained, with Daniel resenting his maker. With the series’ departure from the source material, it seems improbable that Armand would have any positive connection with Daniel or Lestat moving forward.
The Future of Daniel and Armand in the AMC Universe
As the show has diverged from the books, Daniel’s relationship with Armand has evolved in a much darker direction, and it’s unclear where their future might lie in season 3. Daniel’s lack of memories from their time together and his fractured relationship with Armand suggests that their paths will not cross in any significant way for the time being.
With the series exploring new territory beyond Anne Rice’s original timeline, the future of these characters remains uncertain, leaving fans to speculate about what lies ahead in the upcoming season. But for now, one thing is certain: the tattoo theory is officially debunked, and fans will have to look elsewhere for clues about Daniel Molloy’s next chapter.
