Pedro Pascal has been cast as Joel in HBO's The Last of Us TV series

[Spectromixer]

The Mandalorian star Pedro Pascal is set to headline The Last Of Us, HBO's high-profile series adaptation of the Sony Playstation franchise from Chernobyl creator Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann.

Pascal currently stars in Disney+'s hugely popular and acclaimed series The Mandalorian, which recently received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Drama Series. I hear he could continue on the Star Wars series, where he is used sparingly because of the premise of his character, though The Last Of Us has him in first position.

Let's just hope it doesn't go all to his head.

 

[Ascenion]

As long as it doesn't impact Mando I'm good.

 

[Saifu]

He has time to do both Mando and TLOU?

 

[Lotus]

Oh wow, did not see that coming

Man this dude everywhere

 

[Christmastree55]

Yoooooo how did I not even think of him as a casting?!?!?!

 

[Turin]

Nice

 

[SturokBGD]

But Joel is a prick and Pedro is so loveable!

Which will make it so much more awesome when he easily pulls it off.

 

[Strike]

Oh shit.

 

[Bor Gullet]

YOU KILLED HER CHILDREN

 

[LifeLine]

Not the Game of Thrones Alum people were hoping for

 

[Christmastree55]

And right after Carano got fired HAHAHAHA

 

[AlexFlame116]

Pascal's Joel, tormented by past trauma and failure, must trek across a pandemic-ravaged America, all the while protecting a girl who represents the last hope of humanity.

This marks a homecoming for Pascal whose breakout role was as Oberyn Martell on HBO's mega hit Game Of Thrones.
