Speaking about Culkin’s surprise debut in season 2 of the Prime Video series, Goggins revealed that the casting took him by surprise.
But he quickly realized how perfectly alone at home The actor fits into the apocalyptic world.
“I didn’t know anything about him because they don’t tell me a lot of things,” Goggins admitted in a recent interview with People.
“Justin [Theroux] I knew, obviously, and Jon [Gries] and some other people, but I didn’t know Macaulay,” Goggins admitted, recalling how the news of Culkin’s involvement came as a surprise.
“When they told me, I just lit up because I think about him a lot. We had a great time at Righteous Gemstones and became friends after that.”
For Goggins, Culkin’s casting was more than just a reunion with a former co-star.
“The way he fits into this world is very specific and he’s uniquely suited to it,” he said, emphasizing how Culkin’s thoughtful approach to the role elevated the performance.
Showrunner Geneva Robertson-Dworet echoed the sentiment and praised Culkin’s creative vision for the character.
“He had a very particular read on the type of character he wanted to play within the Legion and I think he really brought that to the screen,” he explained.
For the unversed, new episodes of radioactive dust Season 2 debuts Wednesdays on Prime Video until the finale on February 4, 2026.
