Bryan Cranston Dishes On A Possible 'Breaking Bad' Movie

Alright, let’s talk about Bryan Cranston. You know him, right? The guy who played Walter White in Breaking Bad? Well, his latest flick, The Upside, might be out right now, but his mind is clearly on something else. And that something else? A potential Breaking Bad movie. Bryan's not just hinting at it; he's practically ready to jump back into Walter White's shoes.

During a recent appearance on Sirius XM’s “Entertainment Weekly Radio,” the 62-year-old actor opened up about his thoughts on revisiting the iconic role. “If I got a call to do the movie—or even Better Call Saul, which, let’s be honest, I don’t think will happen—I’d be all in,” Cranston admitted. He went on to explain, “Breaking Bad wasn’t just a show for me; it was life-changing. It opened doors that would’ve stayed shut otherwise. It gave me opportunities I’d never imagined.” Cranston reiterated his enthusiasm, saying, “I’d do it in a heartbeat.”

Why a 'Breaking Bad' Movie Would Be a Big Deal

Now, here’s the thing: while Bryan’s all for a movie continuation of Breaking Bad, he’s not so keen on a reboot of the original show. Why? Because, in his own words, “It had such a perfect beginning, middle, and end. To go back and mess with that? I don’t think it’d do the show justice.” Cranston feels strongly about maintaining the integrity of the story, and rightfully so. After all, Breaking Bad was nothing short of a masterpiece.

From Chemistry Teacher to Meth Kingpin: A Quick Recap

For those who might need a refresher, Bryan played Walter White, a high school chemistry teacher turned meth kingpin, in the AMC series. The character’s journey from mild-mannered family man to ruthless criminal was nothing short of epic. But Cranston isn’t just sticking to dark roles. In The Upside, he plays a paralyzed billionaire. And yes, he’s had to defend that choice against critics who believe a disabled actor should’ve played the part.

Defending His Craft

“We live in a world where criticism is everywhere,” Bryan told reporters at the British Press Association. “If we’re brave enough to step out and try something new, we also have to be ready to face criticism. We’re fully aware of the importance of giving more opportunities to people with disabilities.” He continued, “As actors, we’re asked to become other people. If I, as a straight, older, wealthy guy, can’t play someone who isn’t wealthy or isn’t straight, then where do we draw the line? These are important discussions that deserve attention.”

One thing’s for sure: nobody would complain about a Breaking Bad movie. After all, if The Sopranos can get a movie, why not one of the greatest shows of all time? Fans are ready, and Cranston seems ready too. Let’s hope this dream project becomes a reality!
