While the second season of Fallout may have been overshadowed by the Stranger Things finale at the start of 2026, it still made a massive splash. The Prime Video series, starring Walton Goggins as The Ghoul, drew in 83 million viewers in its first 91 days, cementing its status as a streaming powerhouse. With Season 3 already on the horizon for 2027, fans are eager for more Goggins in the wasteland. But before that, they can catch him in a lesser-known gem from 2015 that's about to get a new lease on life.
Starting November 1, American Ultra will be available to stream for free on Plex. Directed by Nima Nourizadeh, this action-comedy has often been described as "The Bourne Identity with stoners." It follows Mike Howell (Jesse Eisenberg), a convenience store clerk and chronic weed smoker who discovers he's actually a sleeper agent in a secret government program. When his handler (Kristen Stewart) activates him, he must use his latent skills to survive a government hit squad. Goggins plays a CIA operative named Laugher, adding his signature intensity to the mix.
Despite its cult following, American Ultra didn't set the box office on fire. It grossed just over $30 million worldwide against a reported $28 million budget, making it a financial disappointment. But over the years, it's found a second life on streaming, and its arrival on Plex is a perfect chance for new viewers to discover this quirky, action-packed ride. If you're a fan of spy thrillers with a comedic twist, this one's for you.
Goggins, who earned multiple Emmy nominations for his role in Fallout, isn't slowing down. Next month, he'll lend his voice to Disney's animated feature Hexed, playing a three-eyed cat named Beef Roger Crummchuk. The film also stars Hailee Steinfeld, Tracey Ullman, Stephen Fry, and Jodie Foster as a devious witch queen. Foster, who began her career with Disney, called the project "so much fun." Hexed marks the solo directorial debut of Fawn Veerasunthorn, who previously worked as a story artist on hits like Despicable Me 2, Zootopia, and Ralph Breaks the Internet.
For those who can't get enough of Goggins' action chops, American Ultra is a must-watch. It's a fun, fast-paced thriller that blends humor with genuine suspense, and it's a great way to tide you over until Fallout returns.
