A potential resurrection of Pedro Pascal's character in the third installment of 'The Last of Us' series.
In a tantalizing development for fans of the hit HBO series, "The Last of Us," showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann have hinted at the potential return of Pedro Pascal's character, Joel Miller, for Season 3. Despite Joel's demise in the previous season, the creators have suggested that flashback scenes might revisit the formidable survivor's past, drawing particular attention to his relationship with his on-screen brother Tommy, played by Gabriel Luna.
Mazin enigmatically shared with The Hollywood Reporter that the new season may present an opportunity to delve deeper into the brothers' potentially turbulent history. "Next season, we might have more freedom to explore side stories," he said, "perhaps a detour showing Joel and Tommy wreaking havoc across the landscape. But whether it happens or not, we'll have to wait and see."
The creators also alluded to Tommy's transformation, hinting at the possibility of shedding light on his transition from a war-torn individual to someone committed to fulfilling a promise made to his brother.
Other key players in the post-apocalyptic drama include Bella Ramsey, Catherine O'Hara, and Isabela Merced, who have garnered acclaim for their performances in the first two seasons.
While Joel's death in the source material is a significant plot point, the show's creators have left room for creative storytelling, potentially featuring Joel in some capacity beyond flashbacks. Details regarding the narrative focus on Joel and Tommy's relationship remain vague, however, as the showrunners strive to maintain the integrity of the original narrative.
The creators of "The Last of Us" might choose to delve deeper into the relationship between Joel Miller and his brother Tommy, drawing the attention of fans worldwide. If so, this exploration could involve the brothers creating chaos across the landscape, according to Mazin's hints. Meanwhile, the showrunners have left room for creative storytelling, possibly implying a role for Pedro Pascal's character, Joel Miller, beyond flashbacks.
