Breaking Bad fans are convinced that Walter White is still alive after the first full trailer for El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie was released earlier this week.
The official teaser follows a bruised and battered Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) on the run after breaking out of prison.
After turning up at a shocked Skinny Pete's door, he cleans the wounds inflicted on him by his former neo-Nazi captors and shaves his head much like his late business partner Walter.
Now one of American's most wanted criminals, Jesse is seen arriving at Tohajiilee Navajo reservation, where he and Walt first cooked meth together.
Digging up something up, Jesse meets with a mysterious man who is carrying a gun, and can be heard off screen asking: "Are you ready?", to which Jesse replies that he is.
Fans of the hit series have been quick to speculate online that the mystery voice belongs to Bryan Cranston's Walter White, who died at the end of the TV series.
Taking to Twitter, one die-hard fan wrote: "WALTER WHITE IS ALIVE! #elcamino watch new trailer on Netflix with subtitles on!#breakingbad."
"Anybody hyped about #ElCamino like is Walter White gonna turn out to be alive?" another lamented.
A third shared: "I just watched the new trailer for the @BreakingBad movie, #ElCamino and its implied that Walter White may be alive. How could this be?"

And Reddit users seem to agree after the trailer's subtitles placed Walter's name beside the line "Are you ready?" which has now been changed to "man". SUSPICIOUS.
Despite this, some viewers are suggesting that Jesse could be hallucinating, or the exchange could be a flashback due to a broadcast playing in the background while Jesse sits in his car, which reveals that police investigating the casualties from a huge shootout.
It claims that nine bodies have been located, and since there were eight gang members in Breaking Bad's final shootout, it's possible Walter was the ninth.
Breaking Bad, which ran from 2008 to 2013, followed the story of Walter White - a high school chemistry teacher played by Bryan Cranston - who turned to manufacturing methamphetamine to secure his family's future after a devastating lung cancer diagnosis.
The new film, which hits the streaming site on October 11th, was first teased back in June when the show's stars Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul shared the same picture of two donkeys on Twitter.
A month later, Netflix shared the first clip of the movie, a minute-long snippet showing Skinny Pete being brought in for questioning about Jesse's whereabouts, where the meth cooker's ally refuses to give up his friend.
While the trailers have so far being incredibly coy, they do suggest that El Camino is going to start right after the Breaking Bad series left off.
