Under f\u00f6rs\u00f6kssamtalet vid s\u00e4song 2 av The Last of Us i Paris, fick vi en tio-minuters dialog med Gabriel Luna (Tommy), Isabela Merced (Dina) och unge Mazino (Jesse) enligt junket-protokoll. Detta m\u00f6te gav oss m\u00f6jlighet att diskutera deras roller i serien och utforska narrativa utmaningar f\u00f6r den mycket v\u00e4ntade andra s\u00e4songen, som \u00e4r mycket efterlyst av en fansgemenskap som kan vara b\u00e5de kr\u00e4vande och ibland giftig. Innan vi kunde tala om \u00e4mnen som cordyceps-svampar och post-apokalyptiska sp\u00e4nningar, h\u00e5gkom en tidigare m\u00f6te: Gabriel Lunas m\u00f6te med v\u00e5r journalist Maxime under Terminator: Dark Fate-pressturn\u00e9n i Tokyo 2019. Detta gav ett unikt h\u00f6gtidspris till samtalet, och skilde sig fr\u00e5n vanliga reklamsamtal. Vad Gabriel Luna sade om sin tillv\u00e4gag\u00e5ng f\u00f6r att spela Tommy var att han f\u00f6rst blev bekant med karakt\u00e4ren genom att spela ”The Last of Us Part II”, fokuserande p\u00e5 Bills uppdrag innan han helt och h\u00e5llet gick in i universum efter att ha tr\u00e4ffat skaparna. Han spelade b\u00e4gge speletter raka av (ett efter ett) medan han gr\u00e4t, och hans fru bad honom att ta ut sk\u00e5pet fr\u00e5n sk\u00e4nken i bakgrunden. I originalspelet \u00e4r Tommy en sekund\u00e4rkarakt\u00e4r som visas vid kritiska \u00f6gonblick men har relativt svag utveckling.<\/p>\n
HBO:s serien breddar sitt ber\u00e4ttarutrymme betydligt. Gabriel Luna bekr\u00e4ftar denna breddning tidigt under intervjun: ”Tommy f\u00f6ljs i parallell med Ellie. Han har nu ansvar i Jackson, en familj, en son som heter Benjamin…” Denna utveckling inneh\u00e5ller nya dramatiska element f\u00f6r karakt\u00e4ren, som nu b\u00e5de \u00e4r pappa och ledare f\u00f6r gemenskapen, och st\u00e5r inf\u00f6r val som drar honom mellan lojalitet mot familjen och moralisk plikt. Trots sina ut\u00f6vade ansvarsomr\u00e5den k\u00e4nns han \u00e4nd\u00e5 kompenserad att l\u00e4mna Jackson f\u00f6r att f\u00f6lja med Ellie och Dina. ”Det \u00e4r sv\u00e5rt f\u00f6r honom. Han k\u00e4nner sig skyldig att g\u00f6ra det. Han k\u00e4nner sig ansvarig f\u00f6r Ellie, som en bror, som ett familjemedlem.” ber\u00e4ttar den 42-\u00e5rige sk\u00e5despelaren.<\/p>\n
Sk\u00e5despelaren Isabela Merced tog en annan metod. Hon avsl\u00f6jade att hon inte visste vilken roll hon var under t\u00e4nkande f\u00f6r, innan hon tr\u00e4ffades. ”Jag vet bara att de ville tr\u00e4ffa med mig. Jag spelade med sig utan att veta exakt varf\u00f6r. S\u00e5 sedan ber\u00e4ttade de: ’Det \u00e4r Dina.'” Till skillnad fr\u00e5n sk\u00e5despelaren Young Mazino avsl\u00f6jade han att han var klar \u00f6ver sin roll innan inspelningen p\u00e5b\u00f6rjades, trots att showrunner Craig Mazin och Neil Druckmann specifikt fr\u00e5gat Bella Ramsey (Ellie) att inte spela spelet f\u00f6r att undvika att bli p\u00e5verkad av Ashley Johnsons originala insats.<\/p>\n
