The Last of Us: Jeffrey Wright Joins Season 2 as Isaac
The Last of Us fans, rejoice! Jeffrey Wright, known for his roles in Westworld and Boardwalk Empire, is joining the cast of Season 2 as Isaac, a character he originally played in The Last of Us Part II video game. This is a huge deal for fans of the game, as Wright’s character is a significant figure in the Washington Liberation Front (WLF), also known as the “Wolves.”
The Last of Us
In the game, Isaac is the leader of the WLF, a militia group that seeks liberty but becomes embroiled in an endless war against a surprisingly resourceful enemy. Wright’s character description in the show states that Isaac is “the quietly powerful leader of a large militia group who sought liberty but instead has become mired in an endless war against a surprisingly resourceful enemy.”
Wright’s addition to the cast is significant, as he is the second actor to reprise a major role from the games, following Merle Dandridge, who played Fireflies leader Marlene in both versions of the story.
The Season 2 cast is shaping up to be an impressive one, with Kaitlyn Dever (Dopesick), Young Mazino (BEEF), Isabela Merced (100 Things to Do Before High School), Danny Ramirez (The Falcon and the Winter Soldier), Ariela Barer (Runaways), Tati Gabrielle (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina), Spencer Lord (Heartland), and Catherine O’Hara (Schitt’s Creek) joining the cast alongside returning stars Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey.
The Last of Us Cast
Wright’s Emmy-winning performance in HBO’s Angels in America and his Academy Award nomination for American Fiction demonstrate his impressive range as an actor. His addition to the cast of The Last of Us is a significant coup for the show, and fans are eagerly anticipating his portrayal of Isaac in Season 2.
The Last of Us
The Last of Us has been praised for its faithful adaptation of the video game series, and with Wright on board, fans can expect an even more authentic and engaging experience in Season 2.
