The Mandalorian and Game of Thrones star Pedro Pascal has been cast to play Joel in The Last of US HBO Series. Bella Ramsey has been cast to play Ellie who was also in Game of Thrones. I’m interested what this will be like as most films or tv series that are from video games end up being disappointing.
Taken from Wccftech… Game of Thrones stars Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey will be portraying Joel and Ellie in HBO’s The Last of Us TV show.
As reported by various media outlets, Pedro ‘Oberyn Martell’ Pascal, also known for his role in Disney’s The Mandolorian, will be taking on the role of main protagonist Joel Miller. The news was confirmed through Twitter by creative director and writer, Joel Druckmann.
The announcement of the ‘Red Viper’ as Joel followed shortly after the news that Game of Thrones actor Bella Ramsey, known for her role as Lyanna Mormont, will be portraying Joel’s second-half, Ellie.
HBO’s The Last of Us TV series was officially announced last year. Written and executive produced by Druckmann alongside Chernobyl writer Craig Mazin, the series will cover the events of the original The Last of Us, and possibly, some events from last year’s sequel.
The Last of Us TV series is expected to air late this year or early 2022.
