It's officially time to start getting excited, Breaking Bad fans.

Since late 2018, there have been some frankly wonderful rumours about the possibility of a Breaking Bad movie. It started with anonymous Hollywood Reporter sources, then escalated when series lead Bryan Cranston essentially confirmed the news in a radio interview.

And now we've entered the mysterious tweet phase.

After a few months of silence on the sequel front, both Cranston and co-star Aaron Paul tweeted the exact same image on Tuesday evening.

WHAT. DOES. IT. MEAN?!

Well, on the surface it's an image of two donkeys. But those washed out sepia tones look awfully similar to the aesthetic we'd often see in Breaking Bad, don't they?

Needless to say, the pics prompted quite a big reaction.

Soon, the speculation started.

Okay, so we do we know so far?

Well, the fact both Cranston and Paul shared the image surely means they'll both be involved in the project.

But we still don't know in what capacity they'll be involved.

It's always possible that -- very old spoiler alert -- Walter White managed to survive the very end of Breaking Bad. But if we had to guess, that last tweet -- suggesting he'll appear as a recurring figure in Jesse Pinkman's head -- seems the most likely option.
