Ella Purnell Plans to Step Back from Video Game Adaptations to Avoid Typecasting

The Fallout and Arcane star expressed concerns about being labeled as a 'video game girl' despite her success in the genre.

Ella Purnell, known for her roles in Amazon's Fallout series and Netflix's Arcane, has stated she plans to avoid future video game adaptations to prevent being typecast.
At a panel during London’s MCM x EGX, Purnell shared that she is not a gamer and feels fortunate to have landed two acclaimed roles in video game-based projects.
Purnell acknowledged the success of her performances but expressed a desire to explore more diverse roles outside of the video game adaptation space.
Fallout has begun filming its second season, with Purnell continuing her role as Lucy MacLean, while Arcane recently concluded its second and final season.
Purnell is a nominee at The Game Awards for her work in both Fallout and Arcane, further cementing her impact in the video game adaptation genre.
