The last time fans saw him he was missing half his face.

But iconic Breaking Bad villain Gus Fring makes a dramatic return advertising his fast food restaurant in a new teaser trailer for hit prequel spinoff Better Call Saul.

The mock ad for Los Pollos Hermanos is entitled 'Taste The Family,' an ironic title, considering the way he systematically wiped out all of his great rival Hector Salamanca relatives.

It was posted by Giancarlo Esposito, who plays the popular villain, and it seems the Machiavellian crime lord has the same dedication to fast food as he does to producing methamphetamine.

As a wholesome visit to the restaurant plays out the narrator boasts: 'What does family taste like? 

'In your hearts you it's the best ingredients, the spiciest spices, all prepared with love and care.

'And always delivered with a friendly smile - that's the promise.'

At the end of the clip Gus, wearing a necktie of course, speaks, saying: 'Come in and try our new curly fries, we are so sure you'll like them. And if you don't they're on me.'

Danish-born star Giancarlo, 58, himself was clearly excited about the development, as when he shared the clip on Twitter he said: 'I'm back!! 

'What you've been waiting for, the rise of Gus is coming! Check this out.' 

The chance to find out more about the roots of the Gus will surely appeal to fans of the wildly successful Breaking Bad, which is widely regarded as one of the greatest television series of all time

His character was one of the most popular on the show, facilitating Walter White's rise in the drug trade before they fell out and the chemistry teacher turned drug kingpin blew him up with a bomb as he tried to kill Hector at a nursing home.

The moment he calmly emerged and adjusted his tie, only for it to emerge half his face had been blown off and he was mortally wounded, is one of the programme's most memorable.

Better Call Saul has been a critical hit since its launch in 2015, and has been praised for both expanding the world of Breaking Bad, while exploring new themes within it.

Season three is scheduled to hit screens in the next couple months, however an exact date is yet to be announced.
