The Concluding of Us is a work of art. Its gritty and emotional story between Joel and Ellie in a post-apocalyptic world became an instant archetype in the globe of gaming. Now seven years afterward it'due south been announced that HBO volition be bringing the critically acclaimed game to the screen. Creator and writer of The Last of U.s.a., Neil Druckmann will exist working with Craig Mazin on this alive-activity project. As of now, this is the only announcement, at that place hasn't been whatsoever other news or everyone else hired for The Last of Us, Television set serial. And then we should only expect to see a release appointment sometime in 2022. In the concurrently allow us to assistance with our recommendation of casting choices.

Joel – Dylan McDermott

Fricking Troy Baker's vox is a dream. I don't know anything most his acting chops but if he tin can play the part then play it, baby! God dude is hot AF it's really not fair. But if he can't play the role then Dylan McDermott. Face up casting am I right? Simply non only does Dylan McDermott get a pass in the looks department he also plays a great Ben Harmon in American Horror Story. I know popular stance is Josh Brolin and Hugh Jackman. Because Logan was basically the Ten-Men version of The Last of United states in reverse. Only hear me out. Ben Harmon in American Horror Story has some crazy calm vibes that of a sudden explode with emotion. Kinda like our man Joel.

Joel – Gerard Butler

The Last of Us, HBO, TV Series, Casting, Joel Miller, Gerard Butler

Adjacent up on the casting listing is Gerard Butler. Joel is a rugged survivalist haunted by the memories of those he lost. So I don't know nigh y'all but 300 and Nim's Island should be a good enough resume for our gruff warrior cum island daddy. Dude can abound a beard similar nobody'southward business as well.

Joel – Andrew Lincoln

More than merely a hilarious meme Andrew Lincoln already knows his fashion around a zombie apocalypse thanks to his role as one of the about amazing TV characters Rick Grimes in The Walking Expressionless. He's already got the combat training plus that haunted look in his eyes equally he prepares to sacrifice himself over and over once again for the people he loves. He'due south probably not the closest on this list in terms of face matching just it could piece of work.

Ellie – Dafne Keen

The Last of Us, HBO, TV Series, Casting, Ellie Williams, Dafne Keen

Ellie is a hard cast. We're looking for someone immature just experienced enough that can pull gravitas to this important role. I know we didn't cast Hugh Jackman here only Dafne Keene's role as X-23 on Logan was memorable. She's even so small-scale enough for the role and her contempo launch in HBO's His Dark Materials Idiot box series showcases a wide range of interim chops. Minus just yelling at Hugh Jackman. She might only have enough feel to pull this off.

Ellie – McKenna Grace

The Last of Us, HBO, TV Series, Casting, Ellie Williams, McKenna Grace

She's a immature i! Born merely as I was graduating high schoolhouse… don't linger as well long on that fact, this little star is merely 13 years erstwhile. McKenna Grace has been acting since she was 7 years one-time and has since been in a huge amount of TVs and Movies. Helm Marvel included. The almost notable performances that could cast her in the function equally Ellie are I, Tonya and Gifted. There's a certain seriousness to her acting that belies her youthful looks which would exist exactly what nosotros're looking for in, Ellie. At 13 years sometime she'south merely a year younger than Ellie as well.
