Gabriel Luna Cast as Tommy in ‘The Last of Us’ Adaptation
Joel and Ellie are getting some backup! The upcoming live-action adaptation of The Last of Us, which stars Pablo Pascal and Bella Ramsey as its leading duo, has now found its combat veteran. Gabriel Luna (Terminator: Dark Fate, Ghost Rider) will star alongside Pascal and Ramsey as Tommy, Joel’s ever-positive brother.
Proud to join Craig Mazin, @Neil_Druckmann, Carolyn Strauss and the folks at @HBO on The Last of Us. I have so much love for the work done by @PedroPascal1 and @BellaRamsey and I’m excited to go on this adventure with them as Tommy. “Endure and Survive”. #TheLastofUs #HBO https://t.co/F10V3JkoPD

Set 13 years in the future, The Last of Us centers around protagonists Joel and Ellie as they band together to survive in a post-pandemic world. They must fend off infected humans who crave the flesh of disease-free survivors in their search for remaining humanity.
The series will be penned by Craig Mazin (Chernobyl) in partnership with The Last of Us writer and creative director Neil Druckmann, with Kantemir Balagov (Beanpole) set to direct.
