WOW THEY REALLY ARE GONNA GO HAM RIGHT?

He doesn't scream Joel, but if this is the level of casting we are going for, my excitement for this increased by a lot.

wow, the crowd that dragged TLOU2 will have a field day with this one.

Someone check the other forum. The servers must be down over there after this.

Would bet that its not actually Joel and the series wouldnt particularly follow the events of the game.

I havnt read a single thing about the development of this so maybe Im alread wrong.

At first, I was like, "Wait—what? Dude looks nothing like Joel..."

But then, I really didn't identify with Joel or connect with the story because of the way Joel looked. So, in the end, I'm stoked; Ali is a fantastic actor. I just hope the script allows the story to shine and the world feels true to TLoU, unlike some other recent post-apocalypse shows (*cough* The Stand *cough*)

Wow, didn't see this coming.

I'm so down for this.

Unfortunately, this will be controversial. It's like The Last of Us exists to expose the scum of the earth.

So this site claims that McConnaughey turned it down so they then offered it to Ali?

Just going through True Detective leads, lol

He would absolutely kill it, one of my favorite actors. I can see Joel in him.

Sadly with how toxic the Tlou fan base have already shown themselves to be, I'm sure this won't go over well smh.

I only know him from his role in Luke Cage but I liked him a lot there. Well, and Uncle Aaron in Spiderverse too where he was also great. Should be a good pick :)

imagine tryna say that Mahershala was cast because of an "agenda" and not because he's one of the best working actors out there right now and would crush it

This casting is fucking phenomenal, but honestly Hugh Jackman and Dafne Keen should have been the real deal. I mean, they're too perfect.
