‘The Last of Us’ fans react to a Joel casting that never came to be

Actor Jeffrey Pierce spilled the tea on which Academy Award-winning actor almost got the part of Joel Miller in the TV adaptation of The Last of Us.

A fan took to the r/TheLastOfUs subreddit to share the news that Pierce revealed to The Direct that showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann were in discussions with Mahershala Ali to play Joel Miller. Ultimately, the part went to Pedro Pascal. However, they suggested Ali’s casting would have met disapproval from the fandom.
