Kaitlyn Dever is a personal favorite and I’d be thrilled to see her in absolutely any film, show or stage production she wants. But really, she’s just such a perfect fit for the role of Ellie in the The Last of Us. There’s been talk of an adaptation of the Naughty Dog game for years now, but just recently news broke that it could be the real deal over at HBO. Last month it was reported that Chernobyl’s Craig Mazin and Naughty Dog’s Neil Druckmann signed on to make a The Last Of Us TV series for HBO. With that announcement came a brand new slew of fan-casting articles and one name that popped up on a lot of lists for the role of Ellie was Dever’s. As is usually the case with fan-casting lists, yes, Dever looks the part and she’s also certainly got the acting chops to pull it off, but if the opportunity ever really came her way, would she even be interested?
