Odenkirk – who played Saul Goodman in the series and is the lead star of spinoff prequel Better Call Saul – has revealed that not only are those reports true, but the film has been completed.
"I don’t know what people know and don’t know,” he told The Hollywood Reporter. “I find it hard to believe you don’t know it was shot. They did it. You know what I mean? How is that a secret? But it is.”
He added: They’ve done an amazing job of keeping it a secret.”
Odenkirk revealed he’s currently shooting the fifth season of Better Call Saul. Teasing new episodes, the actor said: "Everything’s on fire, and it’s just burning down around us.”
There’s no word on whether he’ll appear in the Jesse Pinkman film.
