It’s widely agreed that HBO’s “The Last of Us” has made excellent choices in casting, even if the show isn’t entirely faithful to its source material. For example, it’s intriguing to see Bill’s character given more depth, and it adds a touching touch to have Ellie’s mom, played by Ashley Johnson, make an appearance. The choice of Kaitlyn Dever as Abby Anderson is particularly interesting because the impact this character will create is already anticipated. With minimal pre-release exposure for Abby so far, we can’t wait to see how her character unfolds in a TV series rather than a video game.
Besides her appearance in HBO’s second season of The Last of Us, Dever has previously worked with Naughty Dog. Over nine years ago, she portrayed Cassie, the daughter of Nathan Drake and Elena Fisher, in Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End. Although it seems her association with Naughty Dog might not extend beyond that project, the revival rumors surrounding the Uncharted franchise hint at potential future collaborations, possibly even a repeat performance by Dever. Recently, Tati Gabrielle has taken on several roles associated with Naughty Dog, which could suggest a similar opportunity for Dever.
Tati Gabrielle’s Naughty Dog Prominence Demonstrates the Studio’s Adoration for Her
It’s not unusual for an umbrella production company or directors who appreciate an actor’s talent to cast them in several projects. However, since Naughty Dog has finally brought its live-action adaptations of both Uncharted and The Last of Us to life, it appears that the studio values collaborating with the same actors and acknowledging their talent by offering them more roles in their future projects.
In the productions like ‘The Last of Us’ on HBO and ‘Uncharted’, Ashley Johnson, Troy Baker, and Nolan North were all assigned minor roles.
It’s noteworthy that Tati Gabrielle has played a significant role at Naughty Dog since the Uncharted movie, where she portrayed Jo Braddock. This association with Naughty Dog seems to have grown, as evidenced by her roles in The Last of Us season 2 (as Nora, alongside Abby) and Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. It’s intriguing that Gabrielle was chosen to play the protagonist in The Heretic Prophet, suggesting a possible connection between her work on Uncharted and this new role.
Kaitlyn Dever Should Follow Abby in The Last of Us with a Comeback as Cassie in Uncharted
Given that Tati Gabrielle has appeared in several Naughty Dog productions, it’s plausible to speculate that her past association with the studio may have played a role in Kaitlyn Dever being considered for the HBO’s “Last of Us” series, regardless of the minor nature of the part and the time elapsed since “A Thief’s End” was released. However, it’s advisable to treat the speculation about a new “Uncharted” game with caution as there have been numerous rumors of an “Uncharted 5” following “The Lost Legacy”.
Given that Dever’s character is significantly expanded in HBO’s adaptation of “The Last of Us,” it seems fitting for Naughty Dog to capitalize on this and potentially have her reprise the role of Cassie in a future “Uncharted” game. It would feel unusual if “Uncharted 5” didn’t delve into or at least offer some insight into Cassie, and as Dever naturally ages, it could be intriguing to explore an older Cassie who may have inherited her father’s adventurous treasure-hunting spirit. Regardless of the game, it would be delightful to see Dever contribute to any future projects by Naughty Dog.
