The Last of Us: a world of post-apocalyptic drama
Wright, who played Bernard on HBO’s Westworld, is no stranger to complex characters, and his portrayal of Isaac in The Last of Us Part II was nothing short of phenomenal. As the leader of the Washington Liberation Front (aka the “Wolves”), Isaac is a force to be reckoned with, and Wright’s return to the role is a major win for fans of the franchise.
“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.” - Official character description
Wright joins a star-studded cast, including Kaitlyn Dever, Young Mazino, Isabela Merced, Danny Ramirez, Ariela Barer, Tati Gabrielle, Spencer Lord, and Catherine O’Hara, alongside returning cast members Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey.
