There's a lot happening for Marcel on The Originals and what his relationship will be like with other characters.

As fans await the premiere for the fourth season, executive producer Michael Narducci dished to TV Guide on Friday on what can be expected. Now that Marcel's power has grown, it leads to questions on how Vincent will handle this given that he's a leader, himself. It's possible that Vincent will team with Marcel, but it's also possible they could go against each other.

"[Vincent] is going to make sure that Marcel doesn't just follow in the Mikaelson's tracks," Narducci said. "Because of his leadership position, he will never again go to the sidelines and let there be injustice in this city. He's going to protect the city of New Orleans and if that means siding with Marcel, then great. If that means that he's got to stand against Marcel, he'll do that as well."

As for what's next for the Mikaelson family, viewers are definitely going to want to prepare for something incredible.

"Season 4 is just packed with story potential," the producer shared. "What you can definitely assume is that after a time cut, these sleeping giants are going awaken and they are not going to be happy. There's going to be a reunion of all these characters. As to what happens there, I'm going to leave it to the fans to think about and debate amongst themselves. We've got some great stuff planned."

As it turns out, the fourth season probably won't premiere until sometime next year. But that won't change anything regarding the storyline.

"We are going to have a little bit of a time jump in between when the story ends at the end of the finale and when we pick up in Season 4," Narducci said. "That experience in the time jump will be similar to what the audience is feeling. To me, in a way, it actually makes sense."
