The newest lead ofAltered Carbon , Simone Missick , may be best roll in the hay for playingMisty Knightin Marvel’snow - defunct Netflix Universe , but her latest role is going to sprain ( and decapitate ) some head . She ’s shed the robotlike limb for some neuronic implants and a gun , and she ’s make the time of her life .
“ The origination to Trepp is her spud a guy cable in the head ! It ’s like , this is the best role ever , ” she tell io9 .
In an consultation with io9 at an Altered Carbon press junket , Missick talked about moving from Marvel ’s Misty to Trepp , a cool but intense bounty hunter who finds herself come in after the Last Envoy known as Takeshi Kovacs ( now play byAnthony Mackie ) . When asked how shejoined the project , Missick shared with a laugh about how she was “ unemployed ” ( afterLuke Cage was canceled ) and came across an audition opportunity for Altered Carbon . She said she straightaway adore the character of Trepp , mainly for how she explored drear parts of her psyche that Misty was too good to reach .

“ I fell in love with Trepp on the page . I recollect that she was just everything that I wanted to explore . I had just buzz off off of playing Misty Knight , who was a very strong female character within the MCU , and she had a certain horizontal surface of fragility to her . But she in the main had a guiding rationale of helping others that , you know , was very overwhelming to look at — me being a sceptic , looking at companionship the way that it is , ” Missick said . “ Trepp , I felt , explore all those darker things that I think and feel about the way that companionship is and the agency that people are . I was just like , ‘ Oh , I would really love to play this type . ’ ”
Trepp might have been a chip more intense than Missick ’s premature role — which makes gumption for a cyberpunk series about the classism that results from digital immortality — but having that first part did serve the other . Missick recite us her experience playing the comic ledger hero wound up being the very affair that develop her into the world of Altered Carbon .

“ I get a call from one of the Netflix execs to say , ‘ You know , we ’re so sad that Luke Cage got delete . Hopefully , we ’ll be working with you presently . ’ And I said , ‘ You screw , I actually just put myself on tape for this Altered Carbon business , so hopefully I get that . And she ’s like , ‘ That ’s my show . ’ I said , ‘ Oh , really ? ’ She pronounce , ‘ Yeah , it is . We ’ll be seeing you soon , ’ ” she said .
There ’s a tendency for bounty hunter character to be “ lone wolf ” type , but Trepp ’s got a fun side — even though she ’s hardened and quite brutal — and Missick gives the office a smashing deal of levity . Plus , she is n’t even a lonesome wolf . Trepp is a family woman . She has a wife and boy who provide some much - necessitate balance to the more complicated function of her taradiddle electric discharge , like her hunt for her missing brother .
“ She has a family that she is fighting to protect , and she ’s got another family that she ’s fight back to find . It ’s a beautiful affair to see happen , and it not be treat in a mode that I think we see it get treated in other stories , ” Missick secern io9 . “ If this were not a sci - fi genre , Trepp would be a female parent that worked at a infirmary and she ’s seek to find her sidekick and she ’s enlist some mankind to help her , and she ’ll do whatever she has to do . Not to say that there ’s anything wrong with that story , but here you see it handle in a very different way , and I think it ’s the peach of Altered Carbon and the existence they create . ”

Missick also said her sentence playing Misty helped give her the aroused basis for playing a potent female character in genre fiction , but also prepared her for the physical challenge on Altered Carbon , as both Misty and Trepp get into a hell of a lot of fights . Of naturally , Trepp has it a lot easier .
“ It was so much easier because Trepp gets to kill people , and a shooter tucker a clenched fist — unless you ’re fighting Quellcrist Falconer [ Renée Elise Goldsberry ’s character]—99 percent of the time , ” she state . “ It was much easier to be able to just trounce something out as opposed to having to do paw - to - handwriting fight , and I get laid every bit of it . I was like , this is so exciting . I get to kill people ! I mean , this never happens . ”
