Regardless, Giancarlo Esposito has expressed his desire to star in an origin story for the villain. During an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the 64-year-old actor said he’d be open to stepping back into the drug lord’s shoes, with even a few ideas of his own in the mix-
“I have always kept these [Breaking Bad] pillars in my head, as much as I wanted so badly as an actor to explore Gus’ past life – Gus’ life in Chile, all those things. There’s a longing inside me and I keep coming back to The Rise of Gus. It fits the puzzle, and we could see where he came from and perhaps further explore who he really is under the mask. [Gould and Gilligan] said exactly that – it’s not over until it’s over, and you never know. I totally believe they should take a break. It’s an intense world to live in for a while. And they both have skills in other areas and should tell those stories too. But I’m not opposed to going back to him one day. I just hope that if it’s supposed to happen, it’s before I’m 90.
It’s important to note that the actor is currently 64 years old, which gives us a better idea of why he wants the spin-off to happen before he hits 90. So Vince Gilligan, if you’re reading this, skip to our script and love Esposito, please.

Skyler White, played by Anna Gunn, is the wife of breaking bad’s main anti-hero Walter White. For those who have watched the show and are active in communities related to the show, you know how much fans hate the character.
It’s no surprise that some fans haven’t gotten past the point where you’re not supposed to idolize Walter White or Heisenberg, despite being the central character of the TV series.

Series creator and producer Vince Gilligan finds Skyler White’s hatred unwarranted and opined on the backlash Gunn’s character has had in an interview with The New Yorker-
“Back when the show first aired, Skyler was downright hated. I think that always troubled Anna Gunn. And I can tell you, that always troubled me, because Skyler, the character, didn’t do anything to deserve that. And Anna certainly didn’t do anything to deserve this. She played the role beautifully.
We totally agree with Gilligan here. Anna Gunn played the role of Skyler White as perfectly as possible, and despite the hate that sexist fans had for her, she undoubtedly killed in White’s place.
breaking Bad is currently available to stream on Netflix.
