Having just returned in El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie, Aaron Paul has relapsed on playing his Breaking Bad character — and he's got a taste for more. In fact, he's been in talks to bring Jesse Pinkman into the world of Better Call Saul.

Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Paul said, "If Vince [Gilligan] asked me to jump onto Saul, I would do it in a heartbeat. And I would know it's for very good reasons. So we'll see."

It's not just wishful thinking for Pinkman. Paul added that he's actually been discussing the possibility with Gilligan for a while.

"Look, we talk about it all the time, we really do, and we want to do it for the right reasons. We don't want to just throw you in a scene that doesn't make sense," he said. "Obviously, we would love to give that to the fans of Breaking Bad and the fans of Better Call Saul, but we don't want fans to kind of scratch their head and they're like, 'Well, why did that happen?'"

El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie is now streaming on Netflix.
