Jeffrey Wright in front of a logo for The Last of Us
The Big Picture Fans of The Last of Us have reason to celebrate as new set photos from the highly anticipated second season of the HBO series reveal a familiar face returning to the fold. Jeffrey Wright, known for his roles in Westworld and The Batman, will be reprising his role as Isaac Dixon from the acclaimed video game, The Last of Us Part II.
Wright's return isn't the first time an actor from the game has reprised their role in the TV adaptation. Merle Dandridge returned as Marlene in the show's first season, bringing a sense of continuity and authenticity that fans appreciated. The trend of including original voice actors in the live-action series highlights the show's dedication to maintaining the essence of the beloved games.
Introducing Isaac and other major game characters suggests that the show's creators are ready to roll up their sleeves for a multi-season deep dive into The Last of Us Part II. The game's rich, intricate narrative deserves no less, and this approach means key plot points and character arcs will get the screen time they need.
