Pedro Pascal Speaks Out After ‘The Last of Us’ Twist and Says ‘I’m in Active Denial’; Bella Ramsey ‘Sobbed’ Reading It: A ‘Brilliant Achievement’ If It’s ‘Painful for People’
Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey speak out about Joel being beaten to death in Season 2 Episode 2. Pascal says he is still in denial about the twist.
The shocking twist is straight out of the “The Last Of Us Part II” video game, which means Pascal knew when he signed on to play Joel in the HBO series that his time on the show would not last forever. In the series, Dever’s Abby holds Joel hostage and reveals she is the daughter of the doctor he shot in the head in the Season 1 finale in order to save Ellie. In an interview with Variety, series co-creator Craig Mazin explained why the HBO show’s creative team decided Season 2 Episode 2 was the right time to bring the “fucking horrible” moment of Joel’s death to life on the screen.
