The Last of Us series has achieved great success since the first episode began airing, and the selection of the two actors played an important and prominent role in this success, as it equalized the satisfaction of fans after mastering the roles, especially in the critical and emotional scenes that the game presented before.
Since the series was announced, many fans of the game began to imagine the actors who could be chosen for the roles in this television series, especially the characters Joel and Ellie, who are completely focused on the events of the series.
There were many suggestions, and few of them were carried out. Peter Pascal ANDBella Ramsey For this role, however, it seems that the creators of the series had other choices, and this may come as a surprise to many.
According to a private meeting held with the actor Jeffrey Pearce Whoever played Joel's brother Tom in the series said he was initially chosen Mahershala Ali who appeared in the film Blade. Pierce added that if the choice had fallen on him from the beginning, he wouldn't have gotten a role in the series because Tommy is older than Joel, and that wouldn't have happened if Ali had been chosen instead of Pascal.
Initially, they had Mahershala Ali play Joel, which was a clear indication that I wouldn't play Tommy, but when they mentioned Pedro, I knew, yeah... that definitely wouldn't conflict anyway. I'm older than Pedro Pascal. So I wouldn't have any concerns about that, for sure.
Furthermore, skin color will play a role in choosing his brother, so it's inconceivable that Joel is Black while his brother Tommy is white. Ultimately, the nominations were changed and selected. Peter Pascal To play the role of Joel, this suited Pierce perfectly, whether in terms of age or skin color.
It's worth noting that Pedro Pascal recently hinted in a new interview that filming for the second season of The Last of Us could begin this year. This means we may not have to wait long to begin the series, which we don't expect to premiere until 2024.
