Euphoria<\/em> took an enormous risk killing off a major character within the season 3 finale \u2014 and now Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje<\/strong> is speaking out about possible backlash.<\/p>\n Akinnuoye-Agbaje, 58, addressed his character Alamo being involved in Rue\u2019s (Zendaya<\/strong>) death, exclusively telling Us Weekly<\/em> on the MPTF NextGen Summer Party, which was presented by Delta Air Lines and Waymo, \u201cLook, it\u2019s a voracious fan base. It\u2019s really their show. It preceded me. I\u2019ve done my part. Whatever they are saying and do is their part in order that\u2019s where I leave it.\u201d<\/p>\n On the Sunday, May 31, episode of the show, Alamo offered Rue some pain pills that turned out to be laced with fentanyl. This confirmed that Alamo intentionally gave Rue drugs that he knew she would relapse on \u2014 and that he planned to kill her after he previously discovered she was working with the DEA to bring him down.<\/p>\n \u201cThe attractive thing about Euphoria is \u2014 initially \u2014 this incredible performance that Zendaya has done. She narrates the show and we\u2019ve seen it largely through her perspective,\u201d the actor told Us on the annual fundraiser, which toasts Hollywood while rallying money for the Motion Picture & Television Fund in support of working and retired entertainment professionals.<\/p>\n Akinnuoye-Agbaje noted that Euphoria<\/em> has a powerful ensemble solid, adding, \u201cConsidered one of the attractive things is that it opens it as much as the angle of so most of the other characters. Whether or not they\u2019re inside Rue\u2019s group and vicinity, you’ve gotten Laurie\u2019s gang and you’ve gotten Alamo\u2019s gang and you’ve gotten Rue\u2019s friends. There\u2019s room to explore those backstories, those relationships and people adventures that they’d have.\u201d<\/p>\n He continued: \u201cThat is TV. There\u2019s at all times a world by which it could \u2014 in the event that they desired to \u2014 [they could explore the world more.] Whether or not they need to or not \u2026 I don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n Despite the devastating ending for Rue, Akinnuoye-Agbaje praised creator Sam Levinson<\/strong> on his vision.<\/p>\n \u201cThis season has been heavily influenced with religious themes about God and belief,\u201d he noted. \u201cAll of that got here to bear in the ultimate episode. It sums up the results of everyone\u2019s selections so you will note a reckoning. It\u2019s poetic and it\u2019s poignant. It\u2019s responsible as well in his artistry within the message that it\u2019s sending out.\u201d<\/p>\n Akinnuoye-Agbaje went on to handle how Rue\u2019s death arrange Ali\u2019s (Colman Domingo<\/strong>) story of looking for revenge in her honor. This allowed for a Western-inspired sequence that left Alamo dead \u2014 but not before an epic standoff.<\/p>\n \u201cSam\u2019s vision for this was heavily influenced by Western iconography. He was going to make this a Western style but with a contemporary take,\u201d he noted to Us<\/em>. \u201cIt was incredible how he interwove that with the narrative of the show and people characters that grew up constructing that narrative.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/themes\/us-weekly\/assets\/img\/newsletter-bg-narrow.jpg\")
