Adaptations to video game series have achieved great success in recent years and among the most promising is that of The last of us. Just yesterday we were able to learn more about the series, as it was finally revealed which actors will give life to the protagonists Joel and Ellie. If you’ve had trouble trying to imagine these celebrities as these characters, then you might be interested to see some fan work showing what their looks would look like and many others were quick to express their reactions to the cast announcement.
1 day ago, it was officially announced that actor Pedro Pascal and actress Bella Ramsey, 2 celebrities widely known for their current jobs, will be in charge of playing Joel Miller and Ellie Williams. After these selections were unveiled, fans were quick to imagine what Joel and Ellie would look like and shared some art and videos that help more players visualize them as these protagonists.
Through reddit, multiple users shared game art with Ellie and Joel’s faces replaced by Pascal and Ramsey’s. The artist SPDRMNKYXXIII shared a very realistic art of the duo, as did derfinitely. Shaw2721 shared an illustration showing the actors’ faces in the foreground. DeCurt1998 also shared a cool edit based on Joel and Ellie, but with the looks of the actors. ramykabalan went further and shared a video of the game in which Joel is seen with Pascal’s face.
“I have you babe.”

Some fans expected other actors to play Joel and Ellie
Although the decision left most of the fans happy, there are some who still regret that the opportunity for these characters to be played by actors who were very similar to the characters was lost.
Gerard Butler and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau were fan favorite candidates to play Joel. Definitely, Kaitlyn Dever was the favorite of the fans to give life to Ellie, who, although some mention that she is a bit old for the role (24 years old), has a great resemblance to the teenager, apart from the fact that months ago she had expressed her desire to participate in the project.
I think Pascal is a great actor. But for this role I still think it should have been for Nikolaj Coster-Waldau. I understand that Pascal is one of the current “main dogs” of television / cinema, but Nikolaj would have been perfect. pic.twitter.com/edtZL4qPYH

Even Chocolate A few months ago he shared a concept trailer that looks like an adaptation with these last 2 actors as Joel and Ellie.
In case you missed it: HBO Max will soon arrive in Mexico.
It is important to mention that many prefer physical similarity over actor potential; while others put the latter before the resemblance, although there is no doubt that the actors will do a great job playing the characters.
I can’t wait for this! Congratulations to Bella, she is a great actress and I think she will make Ellie proud. ❤️ For those who complain … give the woman a chance … there is a reason you are sitting playing and not on hit TV shows! 😉

It has not yet been confirmed which actors will give life to the other characters in the game, so many fans took the opportunity to share their recommended actors. many would like to see actor Oscar Isaac play Tommy Miller, while others believe that Sonequa Martin-Green would do a great job as Marlene.
