Neal McDonough is superb at enjoying very dangerous guys, and my favourite instance of that got here in Season 2 of Yellowstone. He performed Malcolm Beck within the collection, and he and his brother have been liable for a few of the present’s most brutal moments. Now, the actor desires to return as his character for an upcoming Yellowstone present, and I hope Taylor Sheridan is taking notes.
Now, in Yellowstone (which you are able to do with a Peacock subscription), it’s not 100% confirmed that Malcolm is useless. He was seemingly fatally wounded. Nevertheless, after John shot him a number of occasions and provided to take him to a hospital if he gave up the placement of Tate, he left him to die alone in a subject. And all of us ought to function below the concept if we don’t see the useless physique with our personal eyes, we will’t assume anybody is absolutely useless.
Properly, now, Neal McDonough is setting the report straight about Malcolm, as he advised Collider that his character is for certain nonetheless alive, and he desires to return as him:
Sure, Malcolm Beck isn’t useless. Nobody noticed him really die within the subject. I might like to see him come again and trigger havoc with Rip as a result of Cole Hauser was one in all my dearest buddies, and there is nothing I might love greater than to go toe to toe with Cole on the present. So, I am open for that one. Everybody’s received to put in writing in to Taylor saying, ‘Carry Malcolm Beck again!’
You already know what? I agree! Carry Malcolm again! He was a fully vicious adversary for the Duttons, and I’d like to see how he comes again with a vengeance. I additionally wish to watch how the household responds to his return. Contemplating John is useless, it’d be fascinating to see the youngsters absolutely cope with him, and I believe it’d be a compelling method to join Yellowstone to one of many new collection.
Now, it looks like McDonough want to be a part of the Rip and Beth spinoff, which I believe makes essentially the most sense. What the Beck brothers did on Yellowstone isn’t made for CBS, which is the place Kayce’s collection will dwell. So, I think about that his seemingly violent return can be higher fitted to Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser’s Paramount Community collection, the place they will not have to fret as a lot about what they will and can’t present.
I additionally suppose it merely makes extra sense that Beck would come for John’s daughter and son-in-law over Kayce. They’re beginning a brand new life and ranch collectively whereas Kayce strikes into a very new career. With that in thoughts, I believe it’d make extra sense for outdated adversaries who got here after the Duttons’ land to return for the tentatively titled Dutton Ranch as an alternative of the Luke Grimes-led Y: Marshals.
Together with that, McDonough has a private connection to Rip and Beth’s present as a result of he’s actually good pals with Cole Hauser. So, seeing their chemistry on display screen once more can be so enjoyable, particularly in the event that they get to go head-to-head in a really direct manner.
It’s value noting that the Malcolm actor can be part of the Taylor Sheridan prolonged universe. Together with Yellowstone, he’s within the solid of Tulsa King, which could be streamed with a Paramount+ subscription. This makes his comeback really feel extra seemingly.
It’s not unusual for actors in Sheridan’s reveals to leap from program to program – Sam Elliott was in 1883 and can seem in Landman Season 2, Michelle Randolph was in each 1923 and Landman, and Hugh Dillon was in Yellowstone earlier than Mayor of Kingstown. Subsequently, I might completely see McDonough leaping again into Beck’s boots for one in all these new reveals.
Clearly, none of that is confirmed, however the truth that Neal McDonough desires it to occur offers me hope. So, right here’s hoping Malcolm Beck comes again to wreak havoc on the Duttons.
