The Mortal Instruments has released another character poster and this time it depicts the big bad, Valentine. Valentine will be played by Jonathan Rhys Meyers and evil has never looked so good. Valentine is the long lost father of at least one Shadowhunter in The City of Bones, and his nefarious plans include kidnapping Jocelyn, Clary’s mother. It will be interesting to see how Meyers portrays the villain. Valentine is presumed dead until he returns seeking revenge on his ex-wife and searches for the mortal cup. Valentine is not a nice guy. In fact, his motto is, “To love is to destroy.”
What do you think of the poster for Jonathan Rhys Meyers as Valentine? Is he what you expected? Make sure to check out all the character posters released so far.
