Reed Shannon surprised by Ekko's pivotal role in Arcane season 2 finale

In a recent interview, Reed Shannon, the actor for Ekko in "Arcane" season 2, revealed he was surprised by his character's significant role in the finale. Despite hints from season 1, he did not anticipate Ekko's pivotal moment. Ekko's abilities, introduced in episode 7, allow him to disrupt Viktor's plans, fulfilling the "boy savior" reference made by Jinx in season 1. Shannon initially thought this was just a playful comment. Shannon acknowledged that the character's journey aligns with his redeemable qualities. He expressed satisfaction with how Ekko's story unfolded, despite not seeing the clues leading to his climactic role.
