One name that was considered for TheLastOfUs' Joel before Pedro Pascal was cast? 🤔 Josh Brolin 👀 Troy Baker, the video game's Joel actor, even told Brolin to look out for the script during a chance run-in at the airport 😮
Original video game voice and performance actor, Troy Baker, recently revealed that HBO's The Last of Us television adaptation could have starred Josh Brolin as Joel. Based on the popular PlayStation video game of the same name, the zombie horror drama stars Pedro Pascal as hardened survivor Joel Miller, a smuggler tasked with safely transporting foul-mouthed 14-year-old Ellie across a post-apocalyptic United States.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY While speaking with ComicBook.com on their The Last of Pods podcast, Baker revealed that Avengers: Endgame star, Josh Brolin, could have played Joel in The Last of Us. Prior to casting for the live-action adaptation, game and show creator Neil Druckmann asked Baker who he thought would make a great on-screen Joel. Baker admitted that he initially suggested Brolin for the role while the game was being developed for a movie.
Neil was really kind. He's like, who would you want to play Joel? And I mean, I bounced around. I remember we were talking about airport lounges.
While developing the video game at Naughty Dog, Druckmann and co-director Bruce Straley looked to other media for inspiration. Other than the popular Japanese game Ico and Cormac McCarthy's post-apocalyptic novel The Road, the two previously admitted to being inspired by Joel and Ethan Cohen's neo-Western No Country for Old Men. In the film, Brolin starred as Llewelyn Moss, a tough and stoic Texan who knows how to handle a gun.
There is no doubt that Brolin would have excelled as Joel in an adaptation of The Last of Us as the character was clearly informed by his performance in No Country for Old Men. Overall, there would likely be little difference in tone to the character if Brolin were cast in the HBO show instead. However, Brolin may have given Joel a harder edge than that of Pascal, as evident in many of his past roles, including Gurney Halleck in Dune, Cable in Deadpool 2, and Matt Graver in Sicario.
