James Gandolfini’s Son On Potential ‘Sopranos’ Prequel Series & Reprising Tony Soprano Role

Michael Gandolfini, the son of the late James Gandolfini, is opening up about reprising the Tony Soprano role in a potential Sopranos prequel series.
In a new interview, Michael Gandolfini clarified if he was down to reprise the younger version of the character his father played in the HBO drama series.
“Look, it’s David’s universe,” he told Entertainment Tonight, mentioning the show’s creator. “It’s up to David, ultimately. I know that David’s working on some other things, not Sopranos-related, which would be exciting.”
Michael Gandolfini added that he would “love” to work with David Chase again but didn’t think the character of Tony would return.
“I think Tony’s probably set to rest now for good, but who knows, who knows — but my guess would be, that character [has] now closed the book on that,” he said.
James Gandolfini played mobster Tony Soprano for all six seasons of The Sopranos.
