Actors for the main roles are quite famous in the world of cinema, but they do not even closely resemble the original characters.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Initially, information appeared on the network that Mahershala Ali (“Green Book”, “True Detective”, “Alita”) became interested in the main role in The Last of Us series, but he could not get the coveted place in the list of actors.\u00a0However, this is not surprising, because in the game, black characters are assigned only secondary roles.\u00a0Immediately after that, the THR edition reported inside information that the creators of the series had already chosen actors for the main roles of Joel and Ellie – these characters will be played by Pedro Pascal (“The Mandalorian”, “Narco”) and Bella Ramsay (“Game of Thrones”, “Dark “).\u00a0The information has already become official – Neil Druckmann congratulated the actors on their participation in the project.<\/p>\n

True, it is too early for video game fans to rejoice.\u00a0The fact is that actors differ from their game prototypes quite strikingly.\u00a0And if, with Pedro Pascal, having a beard somehow solves the problem, then Bella Ramsay gets out of character even too much.\u00a0Actors for secondary roles have not yet been selected, but it’s only a matter of time – usually the longest casting takes place on the main characters.\u00a0Based on this, we can conclude that HBO is in the final stages of preparation before the start of filming.<\/p>\n
