While the number of great video game adaptations has grown over the past few years, they're still hard to come by. That is, unless you're Ella Purnell. The Yellowjacket veteran has now starred in not one, but two of the most critically acclaimed video game adaptations of recent memory. Her first attempt was in 2021, voicing Jinx in the stunning Netflix animated series Arcane (itself set in the League of Legends universe). Then, three years later, she said "Okey dokey" to the apocalypse as Lucy in Amazon's Fallout series, which /Film's Rafael Motamayor described it as a "stellar video game adaptation" in his review. While it's great to be a part of a pair of huge hits, Purnell revealed that he plans to take a break to appear in other video game projects in the future.

During her visit to MCM x EGX 2024 (via Pop lyrics), Purnell admitted that two shows taken from favorite video game titles might be enough for now. “I actually think I should stay away from video game adaptations now because I'm going to get typecast. I'll be the video game girl. I guess there are worse things than that," she admitted. . While appearing in a story that originally came with a loading screen can be risky, its experience is impressive. Fallout has a rating of 94%. Rotten tomatoeswith the first season one of Prime Video's biggest hits ever. Elsewhere, both seasons of Arcane have a 100% rating on RT. Not bad for someone who barely played video games to begin with.

As it stands, the Fallout and Arcane star doesn't sound like she'll be picking up a controller anytime soon, given how little she's done in the past. "Here's the truth, and I feel guilty saying this, but I'm not a gamer and I don't know how I managed to get two video game adaptations that were both good. "I don't know how it happened, but I don't know the answer," admitted Purnell. Maybe someone put in a cheat code?

For now, the only game-related gig he'll be returning to is Fallout, which Purnell confirmed. Diversityit will return to production in 2025. Currently, there is no official release date for season 2, but it looks like the show's fastest character will be teaming up with Walton Goggins' Ghoul and Aaron Moten's Maximus at the end of the world sooner rather than later. "My only preparation so far is that I'm trying to exercise - and I just know that in six months I'm going to run up the hill 500 times and try not to have an asthma attack," Purnell explained. Considering how "Fallout" season 1 ended.Lucy will once again be at the forefront of the chaos when the show returns, especially now that her estranged father (Kyle McLachlan) has left for parts unknown. Here's hoping she rises to whatever is in store.
