After six long years the Breaking Bad movie, El Camino, is finally here. And obviously the El Camino cast contains a bunch of familiar faces.

The film follows Jesse Pinkman as he tries to outrun his past. Here are all the original Breaking Bad cast members that are making a return in the film.

The El Camino cast:

Aaron Paul as Jesse Pinkman

Walter White’s Breaking Bad right hand man is back as part of the El Camino cast. Aaron Paul is back in his role as Jesse Pinkman and the new film follows him in the years following the series finale.

Charles Baker as Skinny Pete

Charles Baker is back in El Camino as Skinny Pete.

In a teaser video for the film, Skinny Pete, Jesse Pinkman’s lifelong friend and former meth-dealing colleague, is being interrogated by police about where Pinkman is.

He says: “I don’t know what to tell you, I said like 500 times already. I don’t know where he is. I don’t know where he’s headed neither. North, south, west, east, Mexico, the moon. I don’t have a clue. But yo, even if I did I wouldn’t tell you. Cause I’ve been watching the news, same as everyone else. I see that little cage they kept him in. I heard about what all they did to him to make sure he kept cooking. So sorry, I don’t know what to tell you. No way I’m helping you people put Jesse Pinkman back inside a cage.”

Charles Baker also featured in US detective show The Blacklist and had a small role in Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

Matt Jones as Brandon ‘Badger’ Mayhew

Matt Jones is also back in his role as Brandon ‘Badger’ Mayhew. We last saw him alongside Skinny Pete, pretending to be a hitman for Walter White.
