Ellie is a 14-year-old girl who has grown up in the post-apocalyptic world. She is brave, resourceful, and determined to survive. Despite her young age, she is a capable fighter, and her determination to survive drives her to take risks.
Tommy is Joel’s brother, who is struggling to make sense of the world he lives in. He is a kind and caring person, but he is also a survivor and will do whatever it takes to protect his loved ones.
Marlene is the leader of the Fireflies, a group of rebels who are fighting against the oppressive government. She is a strong and determined leader, and she will do whatever it takes to protect her people.
Maria is a member of the Fireflies who is trying to help Ellie on her journey. She is a strong and compassionate woman, who is willing to take risks to help those she cares about.
Finally, Bill is Joel’s friend, who is trying to make sense of the world he lives in. He is a kind and gentle person, but he is also a survivor, and he will do whatever it takes to protect those he cares about.
On Tuesday, HBO announced the cast for its upcoming TV adaptation of the popular post-apocalyptic video game The Last of Us.
Leading the cast are Game of Thrones star Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey. Pascal will play Joel, a grizzled survivor who is tasked with protecting 14-year-old Ellie (Ramsey) while they travel the dangerous post-apocalyptic world together.
Joel is being played by Pascal in the show, and he’s a character fans of the game know well. He’s a rugged yet protective father figure who will go to any lengths to keep Ellie safe. Pascal certainly has the chops to bring this complex character to life, and we’re his work in GoT was any indication, he’s sure to deliver a powerful and gripping performance.
Speaking of Ellie, the teenage girl who co-stars alongside Joel has been made by young Ramsey. At just 15-years-old, Ramsey is an experienced and talented young actress, having made waves for her performance as Lyanna Mormont in Game of Thrones. While fans of the game will know all about Ellie’s character, we’re expecting Ramsey to give us something extra with her performance. If her past work is any indication, we’ll be in for a real treat.
In addition to the two leads, HBO also announced a slew of talented actors and actresses to round out the cast. There’s Westworld’s Shannon Woodward, Maestro Harrell (The Mindy Project), Gabriel Luna (Terminator: Dark Fate), and Stephen Henderson (Lady Bird).
HBO has yet to announce an exact release date for the show, but with a cast of this caliber, we’re expecting some amazing things. The Last of Us is sure to be an exciting and emotional experience, and we can’t wait to see these talented actors bring the world of the game to life.
