Jonathan Banks has confirmed Mike Ehrmantraut will return for Breaking Bad movie El Camino.
The 72-year-old actor played Gus Fring’s right-hand man on the series across five seasons, before the character was killed off in season five episode Say My Name.
Death isn’t an obstacle for an appearance in El Camino, however, with Banks confirming he will return as Mike in the movie which takes place after events in season five.
Asked if he’s El Camino by ET Canada, Banks said: ‘Yes. They’ll hit me in the head for saying this, but yes. Why not?
‘None of those guys hit very hard anyway.’

It’s assumed Mike will return in a flashback or dream sequence, potentially opening the gates for an appearance from Walter White (Bryan Cranston).
It was recently revealed the movie will feature over 10 characters from Breaking Bad, with Mike, Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul), Skinny Pete (Charles Baker) and Brandon ‘Badger’ Mayhew (Matt Jones) the only ones confirmed to return.
It leaves the door wide open for many favourites to return, including Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk), Skyler White (Anna Gunn), and Marie Schrader (Betsy Brandt).
El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie releases 11 October on Netflix.
