The series, said to be the largest television production in Canadian history, began filming in Calgary, Alberta in July 2021 and is expected to end in June 2022. It will also feature Tommy ( Gabriel Luna), Joel's younger brother and a former soldier. Based on the 2013 video game of the same name developed by Naughty Dog, the series will follow Joel ( Pedro Pascal), a smuggler tasked with escorting the teenage Ellie ( Bella Ramsey) across a post-apocalyptic United States. Personally speaking, I think Ramsey will knock it out of the park but after seeing Dever’s performance in Unbelievable, the actress has a hell of a lot of talent that is right up there with what fans want to see in someone portraying Ellie.The Last of Us is an upcoming American television series that is set to air on HBO. So as you can tell from the reactions so far on Twitter, some are all in on Bella Ramsey playing Ellie, and others aren’t too sure if the actress can pull the role of Ellie off and would have preferred Kaitlyn Dever. TomFlores#HOF2021#RaiderNation February 11, 2021 Excited for the actor of Joel! /OzrEAJb8Rq Really a surprising choice I didn’t expect, but really looking forward to see how it’ll be executed and if she’ll be able to deliver Ellie’s personality.

❤️ For the moaners…give the woman a chance….there’s a reason you’re sat playing the game and not on hit TV shows! ? ertjImJ1XtĬan’t wait for this! Congrats to Bella, she’s a great actress and I think she’ll do Ellie proud. Kaitlyn Dever is too old for Ellie people. Chelseapaul ⚔️ Playing: Destiny ❄️ February 11, 2021 Aslong as Nikolaj foster-waldau is Joel ?? guy has the talent to carry his own series her scenes in His Dark Materials were pretty cringe ? i will keep faith though.

Let’s take a look at some of the mixed reactions on social media. Looking through social media, you are initially greeted with the excitement that fans have to just finally know who will play these characters at long last but also while many think that Bella Ramsey is perfect for the role as Ellie, a few are disappointed that Kaitlyn Dever was picked up. Kaitlyn Dever, an American actress who gained recognition for her roles in Justified and the brilliant Netflix drama miniseries Unbelievable, was the hot favorite for fans to play Ellie from The Last of Us. Just like Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, people thought that she would make a great fit due to her physical similarity to the character as well as her demeanor.

You can certainly see the similarities between GoT‘s Lyanna and TLOU‘s Ellie – two stubborn and very brave young women but how are fans reacting to this news and are they sad that the favorite to be Ellie won’t be Kaitlyn Dever? Not only did we hear that The Mandalorian star Pedro Pascal would be playing Joel in the upcoming The Last of Us show by HBO, but we also heard that Bella Ramsey, who played the brave noblewoman Lyanna Mormont in Game of Thrones, will be cast to play Ellie. For fans of The Last of Us, today has been a very special day.
