Fallout Fans Are Guessing Who Macaulay Culkin Will Play in Season 2 — All Bets Are on Arcade Gannon

The Fallout series has not only revived interest in the iconic gaming franchise, but also generated a wave of fan theories. One of the most discussed concerns the mysterious role of Macaulay Culkin, whose participation in the cast of the second season was confirmed back in late 2024. There is no official information about his character, but fans are confident that they have managed to solve the mystery.

Based on the fact that the second season is inspired by Fallout: New Vegas, fans began to narrow down the list of possible candidates. Leaked plot details mentioned a “mad genius,” and it was this clue, as well as Culkin’s appearance, that led the community to the idea that the actor could embody the image of an aged Arcade Gannon, a charismatic scientist associated with the New California Republic Faction. Other less popular versions suggest that he will play Fantastic or Myron, although it is also possible that we are talking about a completely new character created specifically for the show – as was the case in the first season, where the canonical heroes almost did not appear.

Filming of the sequel began in November 2024, and already in March 2025, the first shots from the set appeared online. It has not yet been announced when the second season will be released – but given the interest in the project and the surge in popularity of the original games, expectations will clearly be high.
