'Mayans MC' news: 'Sons of Anarchy' lead Charlie Hunnam willing to do a cameo for the spinoff show
Earlier this month, "Sons of Anarchy" spinoff, "Mayans MC," finally gets a pilot order from FX after a couple of months in quiet production. That being said, fans of its parental show are getting their kicks on the possibility that Charlie Hunnam will somehow appear in the upcoming series.
As of now, no official word has been disseminated as to whether there are concrete plans of bringing the actor who played Jax Teller for seven seasons in "Sons of Anarchy" to "Mayans MC" or not. But it is safe to say that everyone who has been asked about the prospect has so far been on board with the idea including Hunnam himself. TMZ has caught up with the 36-year-old actor and asked him if he would be down to cameo in creator Kurt Sutter's next endeavor and he straightforwardly said that he is willing to do pretty much what will be asked of him in case the story calls for Jax to come back.
"Listen, if they call me, if they want me to do a little dream sequence. I'll do anything for Jax, I love that guy, but I think I'm dead," Hunnam said, half-jokingly about Jax's current predicament in the "Sons of Anarchy" lore.
It can be remembered that by the end of the run of the crime drama show in 2014, Jax made the ultimate sacrifice for his kids who not just lost their mom but their dad as well. Still, as Hunnam put it, he can be in a kind of dream sequence or maybe even a flashback, given that "Mayans MC" is set following the aftermath of "Sons of Anarchy."
Production is said to be starting March of next year although it has yet to be revealed when it will finally debut on the FX airwaves. "Mayans MC" will take on the story of new protagonist EZ Reyes, a prospect for the Mayan MC charter located in the California and Mexico border. The official description for the series notes that it will be a "dark, visceral family drama that takes a new look at the most American of icons, the 1% outlaw, this time reflected through a Latino lens."
