Pedro Pascal explains the differences between Joel from TheLastOfUs and Din Djarin from TheMandalorian.
The premiere of The Last of Us is right around the corner, and it's safe to say that the series is one of the most highly anticipated video game adaptations ever. Based on Naughty Dog's Playstation games of the same name, The Last of Us follows Joel, a smuggler, and Ellie, a young girl believed to be immune to a world-ending virus, as they journey across the post-apocalyptic wasteland.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY During their conversation, Radish brought up the similarities between Joel, and another character made famous by Pascal — The Mandalorian's Din Djarin. As she points out both characters are responsible for transporting very important children and both become father figures along their journeys.
However, Joel certainly isn't a carbon copy of Din Djarin, as Pascal also points out. He explains that when it comes to his The Last of Us character there's a depth and richness to Joel that sets his role in the apocalypse apart from his role in a galaxy far, far away. Pascal also notes Joel's emotional journey throughout the series as he allows his relationship with Ellie to help him heal and "become human again.
"I think that for someone like Joel, there’s such a rich source material to be researched there. And also, what it could be, more than anything, is in the experience of playing a full realization of this type of character, where the emotional richness of this experience of a hardened human becoming human again, through the experience of a relationship, can expand itself to so many different types of storytelling.
The Last of Us premieres on HBO and HBO Max on January 15. Be sure to check out our full interview with Pascal and Ramsey when it goes live, and in the meantime, you can watch the trailer for the series down below.
