Since El Camino was presented through Jesse's point-of-view, it didn't feel necessary to have Walt's family members blended into the story. Though it may have been a treat for fans to see the return of well-known faces, it wasn't a justifiable enough move.
Anna Gunn didn't return as Skyler for either El Camino or Better Call Saul, but in a phone conversation between Saul and his secretary, Francesca, in Better Call Saul Francesca mentions that Skyler received a plea deal from the government.
When Jesse Plemons filmed Breaking Bad's final episode, "Felina," he was 24, but he was 30 by the time he filmed El Camino — and was clearly older and more heavy set than he was in Breaking Bad.
Skyler And Marie Might Have Broken Bad Themselves
When her life fell apart and Walt disappeared, Skyler lost her assets and moved in with her kids in a small apartment with a job as a taxi dispatcher.
The Breaking Bad character Todd Alquist looks radically different in El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie — but Todd wasn't recast. El Camino takes place immediately after Breaking Bad, but was filmed almost six years after the show.
Jack Welker (Michael Bowen) is the leader of a neo-Nazi gang and the most evil Breaking Bad character.
Why is Todd fat in the Breaking Bad movie sequel “El Camino”? El camino was made 5 years after Breaking Bad so the actor put on weight in the meantime. When he reprised the role they didn't think it was that big a deal so they didn't acknowledge it.
After Breaking Bad
In an interview, show creator Vince Gilligan confirmed that Walter Jr. eventually received his father's drug money through Gretchen and Elliott Schwartz, which he had arranged beforehand.
In the begining he only wanted to make $737,000 to leave them. He ended up leaving them 9+ Million, I think he was happy with that. Maybe towards the end he was doing it for himself, but at the beginning it was mostly for the money and possibly a little for the thrill.
El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie drew 6.5 million viewers in the US on its opening weekend, making it one of Netflix's most successful original films of the year.
Part of the Breaking Bad franchise, it serves as a sequel and epilogue to the television series Breaking Bad. It continues the story of Jesse Pinkman, who partnered with former teacher Walter White throughout the series to build a crystal meth empire based in Albuquerque.
No. From the moment Walt had him dragged out from under that car in the desert, Jesse never forgave his former partner.
Hank Schrader: Dead
Every moment of the episode "Ozymandias" is indelibly lodged in the brain of every Breaking Bad fan alive, so there's really no ambiguity here. RIP, Hank.
Saul Goodman
It makes sense that Saul didn't appear in any scenes that took place after Jesse's escape as, by this point, he's already been 'disappeared' by Ed and is living his life as Cinnabon manager Gene Taković in Omaha, Nebraska. There's just no way that Jesse could have contacted him even if he wanted to.
As they leave, Jesse spots Neil getting into his Kandy Welding Co. truck and finally recognizes him, causing Neil to comment he'd wondered when Jesse would remember him.
And poor Mike. After all he did, his guys were killed and his grandaughter won't ever get her money. It was all for nothing. Then Jesse Pinkman tried to give Kaylee half of his $5 mil buyout, but Saul wouldn't arrange it.
Season 3. Gus is pleased with the quality of Walt's blue meth and offers him $3 million for three months of his time to cook more in a high-tech "superlab" hidden under an industrial laundry that Gus owns. Walt initially refuses, but Gus eventually convinces Walt that he should cook for his family's financial security.
Walt's fortune is built on the premise that he's selling his meth at the modest price of about $60 a gram. That's spelled out in the fifth season episode "Hazard Pay," when Walt and his partners sell a 50 pound batch of their high quality blue meth for $1,379,560, after the commission that goes to street dealers.
At dinner at the Whites, Hank goes to the bathroom and while there, pages through a copy of Leaves of Grass that Gale had given Walter. He recognizes the writing from Gale's notebook, and from Gale's dedication to Walt, is shocked to conclude that Walt is Heisenberg.
After the destruction of the Cartel and the collapse of Gus' Drug Empire, Walter decided to establish himself as the only major drug kingpin left in the Albuquerque area. However, Walter had been manufacturing and selling crystal methamphetamine for a period of time prior to the formal establishment of his "empire".
Jesse, however, was left with $5 million that Walt gave him out of guilt.
he was being choked to death by Jesse—the final killing in Walter White's assault on Uncle Jack's compound. In El Camino, Todd (played by Jesse Plemons, who appears to be very comfortable with new-day weight) is very much still alive, albeit in flashback form.
El Camino got away with a happier conclusion because the feature-length sequel focuses entirely on Jesse Pinkman, who never lost his way quite as spectacularly as Walter White.
He snags Todd's money from where it's stashed in Todd's refrigerator, and later claims the rest from Neil and Casey, the two associates of Todd's who also come searching for it. In his final showdown with Neil and Casey, Jesse snatches the . 22-caliber pistol from another significant male in his life: his own father.
