The Home Alone star has been making a return to acting in recent years, meeting wife Brenda Song during production on Changeland in 2019, earning praise for roles on American Horror Story and The Righteous Gemstones, and lending his voice to the upcoming Zootopia 2. Culkin’s role in Fallout hasn’t been officially revealed, but fans used their best detective skills to tie Culkin to a major character from Fallout: New Vegas.
Who Is Macaulay Culkin Playing In Fallout Season 2?
In the Fallout Season 2 trailer, a small bit shows that Lucy ends up seemingly captured by Caesar’s Legion, still active in the area despite their apparent defeat during the events of the game. The original Caesar from the game is also likely dead, having revealed a brain tumor was affecting him by the game’s end.
Using photos of Macaulay Culkin’s ears from behind, fans on Reddit feel they’ve determined he is the Legion leader featured in the trailer. There is no confirmation or guarantee they are correct, but it seems like a strong possibility.
A lot of the Reddit discussion involves some fans deducing Culkin’s supposed role from a photo of his ears from the back. Matching up the unique features of Culkin’s ears with the back of the Legion leader in the trailer lends weight to their position. But it is the possibilities of who this character is that make it an interesting trip down memory lane.
If this is Culkin, some fans are hopeful it means this “Caesar” is really the Mojave conman Fantastic from the original game. You meet him at HELIOS One when deciding where to send power from the station, and he tells players he is a “technician” and nothing else. When you remove the NCR troops from the station, Fantastic will remain and later appear in Caesar’s Legion armor. Some fans also note that the description that Culkin plays a “crazy genius type character” fuels this particular rumor.
