Our Take on Who Culkin Could Be Playing in Fallout Season 2
Culkin Could Be Connected to a Season 1 Fan Favorite
At this stage, little else is known about the new Precipitation character different from his description as an eccentric genius. However, it is possible that a vague description may still connect him with Dr. Siggi Wilzig by Michael Emerson. Although Emerson’s character was killed off during the events of Precipitation season 1, and his severed head became the focus of much of the season’s subsequent plot, it’s possible that season 2 could see the return of his character via flashbacks.
With much of the time Wilzig spent working on research for the Enclave still shrouded in mystery, Culkin could potentially take on the role of one of Emerson’s fellow scientists. Furthermore, the introduction of another scientist could also suggest the existence of more potentially world-changing secrets in addition to Wilzig’s work on cold fusion. At this stage, however, this type of speculation is little more than rumor until much more concrete details are released surrounding Culkin’s new character in Precipitation season 2.
