Gus' popularity, as well as his importance to the series' development, made room for possible "flashback" type appearances in future episodes, but that idea did not come to fruition until 2017 when Gus was brought back for the third season of Better Call Saul. When conceiving the story for El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie, Gilligan considered including Gus in the story, but ultimately desisted from the idea due to his feelings that the film should focus only on the most important characters in Jesse Pinkman's life, which Gus was not.
