20 Movies and TV Shows That Made Actors QUIT Genres
2. Ella Purnell - Fallout
Video game adaptations have come a long way in recent years, with the genre once labelled as being cursed thanks to just about every attempt falling flat on its face. Of course, there's still an Uncharted or a Borderlands every now and then to balance the scales, but there are a lot more decent video game films and TV shows than ever before.
After appearing first in Arcane as Jinx, and Lucy in Fallout, it's a genre that Ella Purnell has gotten to know pretty well since 2021.
Again though, as with many successful roles, particularly with two in the same arena coming so quickly after one another, there is the understandable fear of being typecast. While admitting that there are worse things than being viewed as "the video game girl", it's something that would only serve to stifle a career that has started so brightly.
There are more things on the horizon for Purnell, most notably a new season of Sweetpea, and a return to her Army of the Dead character, Kate, so it seems that she won't have to worry too much about being boxed into one role.
