Ella Purnell, known for her roles as Jinx in ‘Arcane‘ and Lucy in ‘Fallout,’ is considering stepping back from video game adaptations to avoid being typecast. Speaking at MCM x EGX 2024, she admitted, ‘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.’

She added, ‘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.’

‘Arcane’ season 2 recently concluded, and Purnell shared an emotional farewell to her character on Instagram, expressing gratitude for the opportunity to play Jinx and thanking fans for their support.

Meanwhile, ‘Fallout’ has been renewed for a second season, with filming currently underway.

Purnell’s performances in these series have been well-received, but she seems intent on diversifying her roles to prevent being pigeonholed in the industry.
