‘Fallout’’s Ella Purnell won’t do anymore video game adaptations: “I’m going to get typecast”

Fallout TV series is currently filming its second season, but star Ella Purnell said she might steer clear of video game adaptations in future for fear of being typecast.As reported by Popverse, the star said, “Here’s the truth, and I feel guilty saying this, but I’m not a gamer, and I don’t know how I’ve managed to land two video game adaptations that have both been good.

I don’t know how that’s happened, but it has. I don’t know the answer.”As well as playing vault dweller Lucy MacLean in Fallout, Purnell also voices Jinx in Netflix‘s League of Legends animated series, Arcane.

Two roles in two adaptations of very popular video games, so it’s interesting to hear she’s not a gamer herself.Purnell continued, “I actually think I need to stay away from video game adaptations now, because I’m going to get typecast.

I’m going to be the video game girl. There are worse things to be than that, I suppose.”Arcane has ended after its two seasons, but Fallout has only recently started filming its second, so there’s no telling how long Purnell will be playing the role of Lucy for.
