Unlike Mr. House, Justin Theroux can't predict the future – but would be happy to explore more of the nefarious New Vegas leader in future Fallout seasons.
"We catch House, obviously, in the middle of his story, I would love to see what made House House," Theroux offers in an interview with Screen Rant. "What was his defining moment or event in his life that set him on the path that we find him on? But that's purely just the nerd in me wanting to see that."
Come what may, Theroux would be just as happy if House "got left in the Vault", also admitting that he isn't privy to what comes next in the wasteland's story.
"I want to know enough into the future that I can play my motivations, but at the same time, I also want to feel like I'm in the middle of the book myself and not know the ending," Theroux said.
He added, "So, if House ever did return, I would assume that they'd made some sort of accounting for it."
The Fallout season 2 ending saw House briefly accompany Walton Goggins' Ghoul towards the reveal that Barb and Janey Howard had been removed from their cryo pods and upped sticks – likely not of their own volition – to Colorado.
While House was abandoned in the Vault, his face briefly flickers on-screen in Lucky 38 as Lucy (Ella Purnell) and Maximus (Aaron Moten) look out on the New Vegas skyline. Maybe it's not the end...

I'm the Senior Entertainment Writer here at GamesRadar+, focusing on news, features, and interviews with some of the biggest names in film and TV. On-site, you'll find me marveling at Marvel and providing analysis and room temperature takes on the newest films, Star Wars and, of course, anime. Outside of GR, I love getting lost in a good 100-hour JRPG, Warzone, and kicking back on the (virtual) field with Football Manager. My work has also been featured in OPM, FourFourTwo, and Game Revolution.
