Aaron Paul Joins Fallout Season 3: A Journey from Vegas to the Wasteland
If you’re a fan of video game adaptations, you probably think of Jack Black as the king with his roles in films like the Minecraft Movie and the recent Borderlands flick. But it looks like Aaron Paul, known for his iconic performance in Breaking Bad, is stepping up to challenge that title. He’s already got the Need for Speed movie in his pocket from 2014, and he lent his voice to Nyx Ulric in Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV back in 2016. Now, he’s set to make his mark in Fallout Season 3 on Prime Video!
The connection makes sense since Paul has teamed up with Fallout’s executive producer Jonathan Nolan on HBO’s Westworld. Interestingly, Paul joined Westworld in its third season — just like he’s doing with Fallout. It seems he has a knack for diving into shows at the perfect time.
Fans might not know this, but Aaron Paul has actually been in the Fallout scene for quite some time now. He was spotted at the Fallout Season 2 screening in London last December and even attended the premiere of Season 1 in Hollywood before that. But here’s a fun throwback: he was also present at the launch event for Fallout: New Vegas back in 2010 at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas! Who would’ve thought his long association with the franchise would lead him to this new role?
But that’s not all! Last year, Paul made his debut in the gaming world with his role in Dispatch, and he even voiced a character named Gamer691 in the “USS Callister” episode of Black Mirror. Talk about a versatile career!
The big question on everyone’s mind now is: what character will Aaron Paul portray in Fallout Season 3? Considering the show has introduced only a few legacy characters so far, it’s likely he’ll be playing an original creation. And wouldn’t it be cool if he shared some screen time with Walton Goggins? A quick look reveals they’ve never teamed up before, and it would be awesome to see them go head-to-head in a tense scene.
As we gear up for this exciting new season, how about we celebrate Paul’s casting with a Fallout twist on that classic Breaking Bad meme? Let’s see how this unfolds in the wasteland!
