  • He said any future Saul Goodman series would need to be set inside prison to honor the character’s 86-year sentence.
  • The actor highlighted the emotional toll of portraying a frustration-laden figure and prefers focusing on his role as Hutch Mansell in the Nobody films.
  • Odenkirk confirmed he would consider additional Nobody sequels, envisioning a third or fourth installment in the franchise.
