An actor in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Naughty Dog's The Last of Us w🐎ill reprise their role for thꦅe HBO series.

As first reported yesterday on May 27, Merle Dandridge has been cast in HBO's adaptation of The Last of Us. Dandridge will portray Marlene, the leader of a resistance movement called The Fireflies, a role that the actor also🧔 took on in Naughty Dog's original game back in 2013.

For those unfamiliar, Marlene plays a crucial role early on in The Last of Us,𒁃 essentially introducing Joel and Ellie to one another. Marlene subsequently hires Joel to smuggle Ellie out of a quarantine zone 🌞in Boston, and sets the pair on their way on a road trip across a post-apocalyptic America.

Dandridge joins a cast that's so far comprised of Pedro Pascal taking on the role of Joel, while Game of Thrones breakout Bella Ramsey steps into the role of Ellie. Last month in April, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Gabriel Luna was added to the cast, set to portray Joel's brother Tommy.

Things are really picking up around 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Last of Us TV show, which is actually 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:due to begin shooting later this year i﷽n July. Recently, showrunner and former Chernobyl writer and creator Craig Mazin extended his deal with HBO 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:by a total of three extra years, hinting at things looking up👍 for HBO's highly anticip♓ated adaptation.

We now know that the TV adaptation will sometimes "澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:deviate greatly" from Naughty Dog's original game, as game director Neil Druckmann revealed earlier this year. Druckmann, who is collaborating with Mazin to write the script for the adaptation, then followed this comment up by saying that the HBO series would "澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:re-interpret" certain parts of the game. Even if you know the ins and 🍸outs of the 2013 game from Naughty Dog, there'll still be new storytelling beats to enjoy.
