Pedro Pascal compares HBO's 'The Last of Us' adaptation to 'The Mandalorian,' saying the series is 'in good hands.'
Pedro Pascal compared HBO’s TV adaptation of the iconic video game franchise The Last of Us to the hit series The Mandalorian, underlining how the creative team of both products are passionate about what they do. Talking to GQ about the upcoming series, Pascal also revealed he lacks the proper skill to play video games and had to ask his nephew to guide him through the first The Last of Us game.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY When asked if he had played the original game that inspires the series, Pascal revealed that he sadly was incapable of doing it. As the star puts it, “I tried, you know. And then it was only a matter of minutes before I had to hand it over to my nephew. It really takes a specific kind of skill, and I don’t have it.”
According to Pascal, not being able to play The Last of Us might be a blessing in disguise, as he could take a healthy distance from the game’s character to create his own version of Joel. Even so, Pascal was astonished by the visuals and storytelling of The Last of Us, at least the part of the game he got to watch. As Pascal explains it:
Even though Pascal wanted to avoid getting too attached to another version of Joe, HBO’s adaptation of the beloved video game series is being handled by the game’s creative director Druckmann and The Last of Us superfan Mazin. So, it’s fair to expect the upcoming series will remain faithful to the game’s acclaimed storyline. Even so, as Pascal puts it, fans of the game will have a few surprises watching the show.
