Aaron Paul reveals he fought to keep one El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie scene in order to give a peek inside his character's heart. The 2019 Netflix film serves as both a sequel and an epilogue toVince Gilligan's beloved crime thriller series as Jesse Pinkman has escaped captivity thanks to his former partner-turned-enemy Walter White freeing him from the ruthless drug lords that held him. Though out from under their thumb, Jesse's life is far from being settle as he must race against time to escape both his former captors and law enforcement in New Mexico in the hopes of finding peace.
Paul return to lead the cast of El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie alongside fellow series vets Krysten Ritter, Jesse Plemons, Charles Baker, Matt Jones, Bryan Cranston, Jonathan Banks and Robert Forster in one of his final on-screen appearances. Written, directed and produced by Gilligan, the film received largely positive reviews from critics and audiences alike for its satisfying conclusion to Jesse's story, direction and Paul's career-best performance, though some also felt it to be an inessential addition to the franchise. Though intended as Jesse's farewell, Paul is gearing up to come back to the fold for Better Call Saul season 6 alongside Cranston and the star is opening up about his tenure.
