So nosotros should merely expect to run across a release date sometime in 2022. In the concurrently allow united states of america to help with our recommendation of casting choices.

Joel – Dylan McDermott

Fricking Troy Baker'due south voice is a dream. I don't know anything about his acting chops but if he can play the role and then play it, babe! God dude is hot AF information technology's really not fair. But if he can't play the role so Dylan McDermott. Face casting am I right? Just non only does Dylan McDermott get a pass in the looks department he besides plays a great Ben Harmon in American Horror Story. I know popular opinion is Josh Brolin and Hugh Jackman. Because Logan was basically the X-Men version of The Last of United states of america in contrary. But hear me out. Ben Harmon in American Horror Story has some crazy calm vibes that suddenly explode with emotion. Kinda like our man Joel.

Joel – Gerard Butler

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

Side by side upwardly on the casting list is Gerard Butler. Joel is a rugged survivalist haunted past the memories of those he lost. So I don't know about yous but 300 and Nim's Island should exist a good plenty resume for our gruff warrior cum island daddy. Dude tin can abound a beard like nobody's business also.

Joel – Andrew Lincoln

More than just a hilarious meme Andrew Lincoln already knows his way effectually a zombie apocalypse cheers to his function as one of the well-nigh astonishing Telly characters Rick Grimes in The Walking Dead. He'southward already got the combat training plus that haunted wait in his optics as he prepares to sacrifice himself over and over again for the people he loves. He'due south probably non the closest on this list in terms of face matching but it could piece of work.

Ellie – Dafne Keen

Ellie is a hard cast. We're looking for someone immature but experienced enough that can pull gravitas to this important role. I know we didn't cast Hugh Jackman hither simply Dafne Keene's role as X-23 on Logan was memorable. She's nonetheless pocket-size enough for the role and her recent launch in HBO's His Night Materials TV series showcases a wide range of acting chops. Minus just yelling at Hugh Jackman. She might just have enough experience to pull this off.

Ellie – McKenna Grace

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

She's a young i! Born only as I was graduating high school… don't linger likewise long on that fact, this little star is merely 13 years old. 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 nigh notable performances that could cast her in the role as Ellie are I, Tonya and Gifted. There's a certain seriousness to her interim that belies her youthful looks which would be exactly what nosotros're looking for in, Ellie. At xiii years old she's just a year younger than Ellie too.
