The actor who gave life to Sawyer in Lost would be willing to return to the island, even if he probably does not see a new version

Fifteen years after the controversial final of LOSTThe legendary series of mysteries and science fiction that marked a generation, the idea of ​​a possible sound Restart or revival. The culprit? Josh Holloway, our beloved Sawyer, who has just left the door Ajar … even if you don’t expect to cross it so easily.

Could it really happen?

During an interview with The Hollywood journalist, Holloway confessed that he would be willing to put on a shirt halfway through openingAlthough neither is illusions. “I don’t know. I don’t feel feelings about it because I don’t think they will do it. But, of course, why not?” The actor said, who now reads Duster In Hbo Max. And although it was open, it was also clear to say that the series already had its end for him: “I am at peace with loss and closure. It was an incredible experience and it seems that he still has a very long life for a television series”.

The idea of ​​reviving LOST It is not new, but continues to generate division between fans. Since its result was issued on May 23, 2010, there was no consent: there are those who consider it an end exciting, poetic and sweet and sourand those who have not yet passed the confusion. To this is added another debate: should the series return or is it better to leave it alone?

A stranger who increases the hype in fans

And although there is no official project, Runrún also returned thanks to the statements of Drew Goddardone of the original screenwriters of the series. In an interview with Variety This February, Goddard has adopted a position that feeds hope: “Don’t say”.

“I liked working in that series and I loved what we did”Goddard said, also known for his work Buffy Cazavampos, Daredevil or Good place. Of course, he clarified that he is not interested in creating a simple “karaoke” of what he has already worked. If you return to such a series, something must be done “Special and new inside the same frame”And not just to take advantage of a brand.

What would you take for a return from Lost?

Return to LOST It would not be an easy task. We are not talking about any series: it was a global phenomenon, With theories that are still discussed in forums and networksAnd a choral cast already very missing. In addition, the end left many characters (and spectators) with feelings found, then A restart should turn very well Between nostalgia, innovation and respect for the original material.

Could you work as a derivative series or in another format? Perhaps. A spin-off focused on the dharma, on the origins of the island or even a new generation of characters It could be a more logical option than trying to relive the protagonists themselves. In this case, having actors like Holloway who make a cameo or guide the new ones could be the perfect touch to connect generations of fans.
