Bryan Cranston will reprise his role as Walter White in ‘Better Call Saul.’

The 58-year-old actor’s character will return in the AMC spin-off, despite seemingly being killed off in the final episode of Breaking Bad last year.

A source told HollywoodLife.com: “With the new show coming and the possibility of flashbacks or flash-forwards, there is going to be something with Walter White.

“They won’t do it as a gimmick, it will actually mean something when they do it. Definitely expect the return of Walter White in some way, shape or form in the new show.”

What role Cranston will have in the new series is unclear, with the source unable to confirm whether or not ‘Heisenberg’ will be alive or dead when ‘Better Call Saul’ makes its long awaited first appearance on our screens.

They explained: “I wouldn’t be able to answer that, but I know that they have options of bringing him back and that they will do it in an awesome way.”

Cranston recently dropped a hint that a Breaking Bad movie could also be in the pipeline.

He told CNN: “You never saw a bag zip up or anything. I don’t know. Never say never.”
