MOVIE NEWS – Filming on HBO’s The Last of Us is entirely underway, and now a new image of Pedro Pascal from the set has appeared online.

The actor plays Joel in the PlayStation adaptation, but it’s a bit difficult to tell how much Pascal resembles the character, as he wears a mask in the image shared by @TheLastofUsUpdates on Twitter. An anonymous source also said the account that a scene was filmed where someone was shooting Joel and Ellie, but they weren’t sure who it could be. Ellie cannot be seen in the photo from the set, but the source told @TheLastofUsUpdates that her hair looks true to the games.

From what has been revealed so far The Last of Us series will offer a mostly faithful adaptation of the original game. The series is being co-developed and written by Naughty Dog’s Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann, who have also confirmed that the show will incorporate elements that were removed from the original game. Fans can expect to see ten episodes of the series in total.

While most of the show’s cast has been well received, Pascal’s role as Joel is the one that fans are most excited about! Shortly after The Mandalorian star was first announced for the show, the internet was flooded with fan art depicting the actor as the character. The leaked image from the set gives us no idea if Pascal can live up to the hype, but it should provide fans with something to help them out until HBO releases something significant. So far, all we’ve been able to see is a picture of Joel and Ellie from behind, so this is a slight improvement!

At this time, The Last of Us does not currently have a release window but is expected to release sometime in late 2022.

Are you looking forward to the HBO The Last of Us adaptation?
