Recently, "The Last of Us" series star Pedro Pascal (Pedro Pascal) hinted that Joel's death plot in the second season may be different from the original game of "The Last of Us 2". Foreign media Deadline interviewed Pedro Pascal and asked if Joel's death plot in season 2 will deviate from the original game.
"Will it deviate from the game? That's a good question," Pascal replied. "I think they're always going to find ways to expand on the incredible originals that they have and surprise us with how they can use that material in a different format like a TV series."
"But I don't want to give away the plot to anyone. In fact, I don't fully understand the entire plot so far."
The actor's answer differed slightly from HBO Max CEO Casey Bloys' confirmation that the second season will be bigger and more faithful to the original game. Pascal may have just been dodging the question, but his answer did stoke fans' hopes that Joel's death in season 2 will be different.
In addition, co-producer Craig Mazin has also said: "I'm not afraid of killing characters. But Neil and I are not restricted by the original work." This may mean that the second season is different from the first season in terms of restoration.
