Overview
- At a Deadline Hollywood panel in Los Angeles on Nov. 19, Malek answered “No” when asked if he would reprise Elliot Alderson.
- He said he is discussing new collaborations with creator Sam Esmail that will take place outside the Mr. Robot universe.
- Mr. Robot ended in 2019 by Esmail’s original plan, and its final season earned high marks from critics and audiences on Rotten Tomatoes and IMDb.
- Industry commentary suggests a revival is unlikely because it could undermine the show’s carefully closed narrative.
- Since the series, Malek has prioritized film roles including Bohemian Rhapsody, No Time to Die, Oppenheimer, The Amateur on Disney+, and Nuremberg, while Esmail’s 2023 film Leave the World Behind features Mr. Robot Easter eggs.
