Jeffrey Wright is joining the cast of The Last of Us Season 2.
The actor â who has previously starred in James Bond films including Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, and No Time to Die â will appear as Isaac, the same character he played in the video game version of The Last of Us Part 2.
I wonât give out any spoilers here, but the official show description says Isaac is âthe quietly powerful leader of a large militia group who sought liberty but instead has become mired in an endless war against a surprisingly resourceful enemyâ.
âWeâre beyond thrilled that Jeffrey Wright is joining the cast,â the gameâs developer Naughty Dog shared on social media platform X.
News of Wrightâs casting comes after HBO shared a first look at Pedro Pascalâs Joel and Bella Ramseyâs Ellie in the second season of The Last of Usâ TV adaptation.
The two pictures (which you can see below) donât reveal a huge amount, but Joel does have his hair grown out in a slightly longer style, much as he did in the game. Ellie, meanwhile, is bundled up in cold-weather clothing, perhaps out and about in Jackson. As for the lights behind Joel, they suggest this is from that community event, but weâll have to wait and see.
These official photos follow a series of blurry, unofficial set photos and videos shared over the last few weeks featuring Ramseyâs Ellie alongside Isabela Mercedâs Dina:
Filming for the second season of HBOâs The Last of Us TV adaptation is underway in Canada. Also joining the cast are Kaitlyn Dever as Abby, Young Mazino as Jesse, and Tati Gabrielle as Nora. Catherine OâHara has also been confirmed in an unspecified role, although earlier rumours suggested she will play a character named Gail.
The second season of The Last of Us is due to air in 2025. It will not cover the entirety of the second game, but will have âa lot more infectedâ than in the first season.
