Bryan Cranston Hints 'Breaking Bad' May Return: Actor Says Walter White's Death Was Inconclusive
Emmy Award-winning actor Bryan Cranston, who plays Walter White in the crime drama "Breaking Bad," hinted that the show might not be over after saying "never say never" to movie possibilities. The anti-hero of the highly rated television series further stated that he would not be opposed to returning to the show or even to doing a movie. The actor also confessed that he had no idea what the fate of his character would be despite appearing to have died in the closing moments of the show's finale. He said in an interview with Ashleigh Banfield of CNN that the death of his character was not conclusive. When asked if the character had died, he simply answered, "I dunno."
Further adding to the suspense, he mentioned that the finale of "Breaking Bad" does not necessarily mean that the story is finished for good. This remark may well have revived the hopes of countless fans across the globe who are currently mourning for the possible loss of the endearing main character. The show's effect on its followers is immense. A group of fans even held a mock funeral for the television show character, which was held in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where the show was filmed.
Since Breaking Bad ended with a bang last September, Cranston has become busy again, starring in the recently released film "Godzilla." Furthermore, the production company AMC announced that fans might look forward to a spin-off called "Better Call Saul" featuring Saul Goodman, a criminal lawyer to be played by Bob Odenkirk. It is set years before the time frame of "Breaking Bad" and acting as a prequel to the hit TV show. It will tell the story of the life of Saul Goodman prior to being the lawyer for Walter White. The creator of "Breaking Bad," Vince Gilligan, will be the executive producer of the show.
