“I love it,” he said of Hawk’s shocking turn.
“The main thing that came from that is I loved playing the villain so much.
The writers are so smart and they see a hundred miles ahead.

They totally know what they’re doing and I’m super on board with getting to win a tournament.
That’s super fun.”
According to Bertrand, fans have wholeheartedly embraced the new Hawk.

“Oh my God.
That’s like the main thing that people come up to me about,” he said.
“They’re like, ‘Oh my gosh.
I stood up and I was cheering when you switched sides and shaved Demetri.’
I was like, ‘Oh, really?
Aren’t they going to hate me?’
[At the] beginning of season four, they hashed all that stuff out.
It was a great little arc for my character.
Like I was saying, they see it a hundred miles ahead.”
