The popular streaming platform opens in 2021 the adaptation of such a celebrated video game; We propose five interpreters that would fit like Joel.
The project that will adapt the video game The Last of Us as a television series through HBO was recently announced with Neil Druckmann, creative director of the game, and the creator of the successful Chernobyl series, Craig Mazin, a Sony Pictures Television and PlayStation Productions production . Since then, many are the names of actors and actresses that sound for their leading roles, that is, to play both Joel and Ellie; Therefore, below we propose up to 5 actors that could fit in the role of Joel.
5 actors for Joel from The Last of Us
At the moment there is no official information about the distribution of the series; Therefore, we propose 5 actors that could fit in the role of Joel, one of the protagonists of The Last of Us.
Hugh Jackman
The famous actor known for playing Wolverine in Fox and Marvel's X-Men films would be a great Joel; and it is that beyond its mature and bearded appearance, it has a great presence on the screen thanks to an imposing physique and interpretative qualities beyond doubt. In addition, in Logan he showed great physical similarities with Joel himself …
Oscar Isaac
With ample experience in productions of action and dramatic load, the actor of Guatemalan origin could unfold with ease in the dangerous world of The Last of Us; In addition, and thanks to a good characterization, I could easily assume the appearance of Joel. A very interesting option at the level of advertising after his participation in a saga as famous as Star Wars.
Jeffrey Dean Morgan
Negan in The Walking Dead already has experience in post-apocalyptic cut productions; If we add to this a screen presence that is as iconic as it is convincing, we could face a worthy candidate to play Joel. Of course, he would have to leave Lucy behind to face the Naughty Dog universe clickers.
Ben Affleck
Together with Jackman, the most famous actor of our selection; and it is that little more we have to add to the candidacy of Affleck, actor and filmmaker of great success that has participated in projects of all kinds. And with a good characterization and maintaining the physique that he demonstrated in his performances as Batman / Bruce Wayne, it could be a boom if he embodied Joel in the adaptation of The Las of Us.
Nikolaj Coster-Waldau
Another of the actors that has sounded the most since the announcement of the series of The Last of Us; and is that after his famous role in Game of Thrones, the Danish actor has made a name for himself in the interpretation industry. And without hardly much characterization, I could achieve a great resemblance to Joel's rude and intimidating appearance.
