WARNING: DO NOT READ FURTHER IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN THE LAST OF US SEASON 1.
Ready?
OK!
A few weeks ago, viewers were treated to quite an epic season finale of The Last of Us. It had beloved cameos for the fans, a satisfying end (?) to the arc between Bella Ramsey’s Ellie and Pedro Pascal’s Joel, and it more or less stayed true as an adaptation of the hit video game.
But folks, there’s a season 2 on the way, even if it might take a while. And you better believe that Abby Anderson — the famed antagonist of The Last of Us Part II — is coming. (As are more Infected.)
Who should play this vital character? Who should get in Ellie and Joel’s way? Call it a hunch, but I don’t necessarily think having Abby’s trademark jacked physique will be a prerequisite for any of these performers. (But it would be cool to see one of them transform!)
Let’s run down a few potential great options for HBO’s latest hit series.
