Breaking Bad and The Mandalorian actor Giancarlo Esposito will reportedly star in Far Cry 6.

That’s according to GameReactor, which claims that Esposito’s recent comments about starring in a “huge” video game were in reference to the Ubisoft shooter.

If true, Esposito would be the second Breaking Bad actor to star in a Far Cry game, following Michael Mando’s role as key villain Vaas in Far Cry 3.
