In a recent interview, actress Isabela Merced discussed her role as Dina in HBO's The Last of Us. The character, a flirty and strong-willed orphan, becomes involved with Ellie, her partner in surviving a world filled with deadly clickers. The season's premiere teased significant developments in their relationship, including a memorable kiss. Merced mentioned the challenges of keeping plot details secret due to HBO's strict guidelines, emphasizing that she believes Dina's humor is a key emotional coping mechanism in the series' dark setting.
Dina seems positively gleeful to play the provocatrice. I'd like to imagine that's how I would be in the Apocalypse, Merced said of her character.
After a run of critically applauded but less-visible roles, Merced, 23, may be at a turning point with The Last of Us, a hugely popular and award-winning series.
In Season 2 of the hit HBO series The Last of Us, which began on Sunday, Merced plays the new character Dina, a wry, flirty, tough-talking orphan who loves killing clickers.
Will Ellie and Dina's love last? I would love to tell you everything! she said. Because of some major plot twists, however, HBO has kept a tight rein on what it shares with journalists.
