Nico Parker joins The Last of Us as the daughter of Pedro Pascal's Joel

Deadline

The Dumbo star and The Third Day alum's involvement on the HBO video game adaptation may have a greater signifcance. "What’s interesting about this casting is that Nico Parker is well known enough that her casting makes me think that we’ll get more of a look into Joel’s before the events of the game than we do in the game," says Rachel Leishman. "Sarah only exists in the introduction to the game, and Joel doesn’t really like talking about her after she gets shot by those who have taken on the “authority” role in the midst of the chaos."
