Emily Swallow, who played Emily in The Last of Us Part II video game, wants to join season 2 of the hit HBO adaptation, but in a bigger role.
The Last of Us video game actor Emily Swallow reveals that she's interested in joining season 2 of the HBO show. The hit apocalyptic drama was first released on HBO earlier this year, serving as an adaptation of the acclaimed PlayStation video game from Naughty Dog.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY In a recent interview with Slash Film, Swallow, who plays secondary antagonist Emily in the sequel game, reveals that she would very much like to join The Last of Us season 2 in some form. If she does get the opportunity to appear in the sophomore season, Swallow expresses that she may actually be interested in playing a different character, who perhaps has a bigger role.
"Oh my gosh. So many people keep asking me this. So I really hope that somebody will hear one of these interviews, read one of these interviews ...because I would love to. I wouldn't mind playing a role that maybe got to stick around a little bit longer because what I did in the game ...
Following this same trend, Jeffrey Pierce doesn't return in the show as Joel's brother, Tommy, and instead plays Perry, a secondary antagonist to Melanie Lynskey's Kathleen. Breaking this trend of The Last of Us voice actors who return to play different characters in the show, however, is Merle Dandridge. Dandrige voiced Marlene in the game and returns for the show to play the same character in live-action.
It remains to be seen whether Swallow will find a place in The Last of Us season 2, but the show has so far managed to thoughtfully and surprisingly feature game actors in new roles. Many questions remain regarding how the show will adapt the second video game, but it's likely that more original game actor cameos or supporting performances are on the way.
