The Fallout adaptation of Bethesda’s post-apocalyptic universe will begin production this year.

Last month we learned that the series that will adapt the popular post-apocalyptic universe of Fallout for Amazon Prime Video would begin production this year. Among its producers, we will have Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan, creators of Westworld, to bring to life the wastelands with which Bethesda conquered us, and now we have been able to meet who will be its protagonist.

It has been Deadline who has reported that Walton Goggins will be the face that will lead the cast of this ambitious project, a veteran actor whom we have seen as a protagonist in The Shield, as a villain in Ant-Man and the Wasp or Tomb Raider, in addition to being a regular in Quentin Tarantino movies, with roles in Django Unchained or The Hateful Eight.

Details about Goggins’ character have yet to be revealed, though Deadline does point towards the portrayal of one of the ghouls. These are mutated humans exposed to prolonged radiation from the Great War within the Fallout universe. Amazon Studios and Kilter Films will carry out this project with Bethesda Game Studios and Bethesda Softworks.

We also know that Jonathan Nolan will direct the first chapter of the series and present the series and its universe. We are undoubtedly in a golden age for video game series, with such exciting projects as HBO’s adaptation of Naughty Dog’s work, The Last of Us, or the arrival of the Master Chief at Paramount+ in the Halo series.
