Tonight’s episode of Shadowhunters, airing at 9PM on Freeform, is called “Malec,” which the Shadowhunters fandom calls the pairing between the characters of Alec Lightwood and Magnus Bane.
At the WonderCon convention in Los Angeles this past weekend, we spoke with the actors, Matthew Daddario and Harry Shum Jr., about the episode, as Daddario tried to make sure expectations were calmed.
“I just want to quickly state that names can be deceiving, right?” Daddario says, possibly joking around. “We call our shoes ‘sneakers,’ right, but we’re not really sneaking? So I’m just saying that, you call something ‘Malec,’ doesn’t necessarily mean that it is what it is,” he continues.
Harry Shum takes the conversation in a different direction, before Matthew instructs fans to go into “Malec” with an open mind. “Don’t speculate too much,” he says.
“We want people’s screams to be like ‘AHHHH!’ instead of ‘EHHHH, I knew that was gonna happen’,” Shum explains.
“Screams of anguish are also acceptable,” Matthew adds.
