Harassed by fans who hate her character, the actor had to put up extra security on the set of The Last of Us

This is information that we wish we didn’t know and that makes us question the behavior of certain fans.

Actress Isabella Merced, currently starring in Alien: Romulus, was revealed on the mic This podcast The stressful situation experienced by his partner Caitlin Dever on the set of The Last of Us season 2, the latter was actually chosen to play Abby, the main antagonist of the HBO series, which sees people trying to survive in a world full of people. Zombies.

“There are so many strange people in this world. Some people genuinely hate Abs who don’t exist. Kaitlyn had to have extra security on set.

At this point we don’t know if this is just a threat received by the producer or by the actor himself or if it went further. But for several months now, the 27-year-old American has received a wave of hate towards him…

A choice to be considered

In The Last of Us video games, from which the series is adapted, Abby is a former Firefly (a group trying to synthesize an antidote) now a member of the Washington Liberation Front (WLF). When a member of his family is murdered, he embarks on a ruthless quest to capture the one who took his life.

In the second part, Abby and Eli confronted each other several times. The player takes turns playing each heroine, pretending to understand the hatred that drives them and that will lead to their downfall. If Abby is the antagonist of choice – and for a specific reason that we’ll keep quiet here so as not to spoil it – The Last of Us 2 manages to create an ambivalence where guilt is shared. So much so that it’s hard not to viscerally hate this character.

And finally, the first pictures of the second season with Pedro Pascal!

But where the bulk of fans were disappointed with the casting, it’s because on paper Caitlin Dever doesn’t have the same build as Abby, who is particularly muscular. But again, we’ll have to wait to see the results before expressing ourselves on the subject. And if there’s anyone who’s already a fan of her work, it’s her co-star who will portray Dina in season two:

“Give him the Emmy straight up. I’m really excited to see the artwork from the audience Bella Ramsey And Caitlin on this series. “ Merced said in the same interview.

Expected, hopefully sometime in 2025, The Last of Us Season 2 will contain 7 episodes and should cover some of the events of the second game, where the previous one covered the first part. What a great start to a possible third season.

The Last of Us to catch up with Max.
