Just hours after rumors began to circulate that former True Detective Mahershala Ali had been tapped to play the lead role in HBO's TV adaptation of The Last of Us (which was quickly debunked), Deadline now reports that The Mandalorian himself Pedro Pascal will take on the part of Joel Miller in the series. The trade reports Pascal fielded multiple offers for leading roles in other shows but ultimately decided on The Last of Us. He joins a cast that includes Bella Ramsey, best known for her fan-favorite role as Lyanna Mormont on Game of Thrones, who was confirmed earlier today to play Ellie.
