The rumors are strong that the "Breaking Bad" antagonist, Gus Fring, will be the lead character of the coming "Better Call Saul" Season 3. Although Bod Odenkirk (Jimmy McGill) hinted before that the villain will come, he now said he is not sure with the arrival of Giancarlo Esposito.
Bon Odenkirk Hints The Return Of Giancarlo Esposito
"And so I guess, I don't know because I really truly don't know what is going to happen in the show," Bob Odenkirk told Conan O'Brien. To recall, the TV host asked the 53-year-old actor about the coming of Gus Fring in "Better Call Saul" Season 3. He went on to explain that the show's writers have their clever ways on how to unfold things as they put little clues in every episode.
"Somebody worked out the puzzle that the acronym or the first letter of each episode of last season spelled out a sentence, 'Fring's Back'," Bob Odenkirk disclosed. International Business Times reported that he later admitted that fans might see the return of Giancarlo Esposito as the great drug lord once again in "Better Call Saul" Season 3.
Creator, Showrunner Say Gus Fring Might Not Be Back?
Moreover, the show's creator Vince Gilligan recently told Entertainment Weekly that fans should not expect too much about the return of Gus Fring in "Better Call Saul" Season 3. The co-showrunner Peter Gould, on the other hand, warned fans that they might get upset not seeing the villain in the next installment of the show. He also advised everyone that Giancarlo Esposito is someone who is not easy to employ and, so there won't be a recurring character.
To recall, GameNGuide recently reported that the fans' idea of Gus Fring's comeback in "Better Call Saul" Season 3 came from the clues seen from the last installment. Viewers believe that the show's writers strategically placed every first letter of the episodes' title spell like "Fring's Back." AMC has yet to announce the official air date of "Better Call Saul" Season 3, but it is expected to be out in early 2017. Stay tuned to GamenGuide for more news and updates!
