There is a new “badass queenpin” on the town in “Energy Ebook II: Ghost,” and her title is Noma. In true “Energy” vogue, the spinoff sequence introduces one in all its latest ruthless characters, performed by Caroline Chikezie, in essentially the most explosive means potential throughout season three’s premiere, which aired on March 17.
The episode’s opening scene ends with Noma chopping off a girl’s hand to retrieve an auctioned-off blue diamond ring her fiancé, Mecca (Daniel Sunjata), was supposed to provide her earlier than he was killed. (Aka the identical ring Mecca gifted Monet in season two.) However Noma would not even really make her presence recognized till midway by means of the premiere, when she rolls up on Tariq (Michael Rainey Jr.), Brayden (Gianni Paolo), and Cane (Woody McClain) at Mecca’s penthouse, demanding that they begin pushing medication for her as penance for, she believes, killing her first lieutenant.
Based on Starz, Noma is the “ruthless new join” who disrupts Tariq’s plans to exit the drug sport and places him, Brayden, and Effie (Alix Lapri) again in enterprise with the Tejadas as they’re “challenged to maneuver extra weight than ever earlier than.” Clearly, she’s right here to shake issues up. Actually, Chikezie tells hollywoodnewsflash.us that her “no-nonsense, f*ck round and discover out” character “is not enjoying any video games” relating to her enterprise, particularly since she’s stepping in to interchange Mecca.
“She is a badass queenpin,” the actor proclaims of Noma. “The blokes worry her, and they need to as a result of in the event that they mess along with her, they’ll discover out. She has no tolerance for nonsense — she do not play any video games.”
Chikezie says a lot of what we see of Noma in “Energy Ebook II” season three was created by showrunner Brett Mahoney when she booked the position. Nevertheless, the actor introduced her queenpin character to life by drawing extra inspiration from an unlikely supply: Denzel Washington’s Frank Lucas from “American Gangster.” “Once I learn Noma, I instinctively knew what was wanted to be executed in an effort to painting her,” Chikezie says, referring to the Oscar winner’s notorious character. “I am unable to even discover a feminine to liken her to. She’s sort of male, energetically talking, so [she’d definitely] be Denzel in ‘American Gangster.'”
Based on Chikezie, the Tejadas, Tariq, and his crew aren’t going to know what hit them this season with Noma calling all of the pictures. “When she comes into their lives, they’re working their little factor, however she is available in and she or he sort of takes over a bit and reveals them what’s what,” she says. “So yeah, she shakes up a whole lot of stuff. She restructures the entire thing they’ve happening. I do not need to say an excessive amount of, however tune in and watch, you will begin to see how issues unfold.”
New episodes of “Energy Ebook II: Ghost” air each Friday on Starz. See pictures of Chikezie’s new character forward.
