A new image from TheLastOfUs teases Merle Dandridge's Marlene in live action.
Gamers are less than a month away from the release of HBO’s The Last of Us. The series premieres in mid-January and has seen a marketing explosion because of that. Leading up to the release, we have received countless new trailers, posters, and images for this highly anticipated horror adaptation. Now the series, based on the critically acclaimed PlayStation franchise of the same name, has revealed a new image that highlights one of The Last of Us’ most compelling characters.
Posted to the series’ various social media pages, the image shows Merle Dandridge’s Marlene in a dire state with another member of her Firefly faction. If you’ve played the first game you know exactly what's going on here. Very early on in The Last of Us game, Marlene hires Joel and Tess for a “cargo” mission. However, it turns out the “cargo” is a young girl named Ellie whom they have to take safely across the country to the Firefly base in Utah.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Dandridge is one of the more interesting castings because she’s the only actor from the games to reprise their role for this HBO adaptation. She voiced Marlene to perfection across both Last of Us games, so it will be interesting to see what both she and the writers add to her character this time around. They don’t need to do much as Marlene is already such a rich character.
The Last of Us is premiering on HBO on January 15 and will consist of nine episodes. Along with Dandridge, Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson, who played Joel and Ellie respectively in the games, are set to appear in the series in currently undisclosed roles. While we wait to see the games come to life, you can watch the previously released trailer down below.
