Aaron Paul Isn't the Only New Addition to Westworld — Here's the Whole Season 3 Cast

Westworld won't return until 2020, but the recently released season three trailer has definitely whet our appetites for when it does. The trailer teases what almost looks like an entirely new series, with Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood) out in the real world and Aaron Paul's mysterious new thief character narrating about his disdain for society and how if he is to keep going, he needs to find something real — cut to him finding a wounded Dolores in an alleyway. The Westworld creators are naturally being rather tight-lipped about the third season, but we do have a few juicy tidbits about the returning cast and new faces. Here is a guide to what we know about the upcoming installment's cast.

Yes: Evan Rachel Wood as Dolores

Yes: Evan Rachel Wood as Dolores

Based on the teaser trailer, we can say with absolute certainty that Dolores is appearing in season three. This vigilante host is out in the real world and ready to wreak havoc on unsuspecting humans.

Yes: Thandie Newton as Maeve
HBO

Yes: Thandie Newton as Maeve

Despite not being in the teaser trailer, Newton has gone on record saying that she and co-star Wood will be receiving equal pay as their male costars in season three, so she also sounds like a sure thing.

Maeve's journey has been just as interesting as Dolores's, and the season two finale heavily implied that Felix (Leonardo Nam) and Sylvester (Ptolemy Slocum) are going to rebuild her. But does that mean she's still inside the park? It seems unlikely that her pearl is one of the five Dolores smuggled out of Westworld, especially since, how would Felix and Sylvester rebuild Maeve and then get her body out to Dolores? That doesn't make sense. But perhaps Maeve is the way viewers keep up with the action still happening inside the theme park.

Some recently leaked set photos seem to imply that is indeed the case, but be warned of spoilers if you choose to click on that link.

Yes: Rodrigo Santoro as Hector
HBO

Yes: Rodrigo Santoro as Hector

One might think that Hector, Maeve's right-hand man, is done on the show after Clementine (Angela Sarafyan) infected so many hosts in the season two finale. But the same leaked set photos that show Newton filming also show Santoro, so chalk him up as a survivor.

Yes: Jeffrey Wright as Bernard
HBO

Yes: Jeffrey Wright as Bernard

Even though there has been no official confirmation, Wright is almost a sure thing because at the end of season two, Dolores rebuilds Bernard from her memories after she escapes Westworld and takes up residence in Arnold's old house.

He told The Hollywood Reporter after the season two finale that he's "excited to explore" the idea of Bernard and Dolores as "guests" of the real world the way humans were "guests" in the park.

It is not far-fetched to think that Bernard and Dolores may actually be working against one another, as he does not have the stomach for violence and death the way she does.

Yes: Tessa Thompson as . . . We're Not Sure
HBO

Yes: Tessa Thompson as . . . We're Not Sure

We know that Dolores escapes Westworld inside Charlotte's host body, then put a different pearl inside Charlotte when Dolores remade her own body. So theoretically, Tessa Thompson will definitely be in season three, but just who will she be playing?

Yes: Aaron Paul as TBA

Yes: Aaron Paul as TBA

This Breaking Bad Emmy winner is perhaps the biggest addition to Westworld season three, playing a real-world thief who encounters Dolores. The teaser trailer makes it look like his team pulls off a heist job and then perhaps some of them get arrested, which means he might be looking for new allies.

Yes: Lena Waithe as TBA

Yes: Lena Waithe as TBA

Part of Aaron Paul's band of thieves, this Master of None Emmy winner is another big name joining the cast. Presumably she does not get captured right away and we get to watch her work alongside Paul's character for most of the season.

Yes: Vincent Cassel as TBA

Yes: Vincent Cassel as TBA

It was revealed in April 2019 that Vincent Cassel (Ocean's 12 and 13, Black Swan) has joined the cast in season three, with Deadline reporting that he plays a new villain for the sci-fi series.

Yes: Scott Mescudi (aka Kid Cudi) as TBA

Yes: Scott Mescudi (aka Kid Cudi) as TBA

You probably know this actor by his rapper name, Kid Cudi. He appears in the teaser trailer as one of Aaron Paul's crew who winds up in jail.

Yes: Marshawn Lynch as TBA

Yes: Marshawn Lynch as TBA

Former professional football player Marshawn Lynch also appears in the season three teaser trailer as part of Paul's crew. Does he play a big role? We don't yet know. But it would be hilarious if he were playing a host version of himself.

Probably: Ed Harris as the Man in Black
HBO

Probably: Ed Harris as the Man in Black

In an interview with HuffPost, Harris made it sound like he's probably involved in season three, which would make sense given the post-credits scene between a futuristic Man in Black host and a host made to look like his daughter, Emily.

"I have no idea where it's heading. We're not supposed to start shooting season three until next June, so I don't even know if I'm in it or not," says Harris. "I figure I am? But I don't know in what capacity, and I don't know what the what will be happening. We'll find out."

Probably: Luke Hemsworth
HBO

Probably: Luke Hemsworth

Here is another character whose final moments in season two make it seem highly likely we'll see him again. When Dolores escapes Westworld disguised as Charlotte, Stubbs interacts with her in a way that implies A) he's a host and B) he is loyal to Dolores and her cause. It'll be interesting to see if Stubbs stays inside the park, however.

Probably Not: Anthony Hopkins as Ford
HBO

Probably Not: Anthony Hopkins as Ford

Hopkins's Ford appearing suddenly in season two was a real treat, but we don't think the same surprise will be used again in season three. Ford is dead and his season two iteration was revealed to be all in Bernard's imagination, so it's a safe bet that Hopkins's time on the show has come to an end.

Probably Not: Katja Herbers
HBO

Probably Not: Katja Herbers

Unlike the Man in Black, this one is a bit more up in the air. Emily does not necessarily have to appear in the upcoming season because the post-credits sequence with her as a host was set quite a ways in the future. It could be something the show saves for a possible season four.
