HBO's live-action series The Last of Us is gearing up for its second season, premiering in April, and is set to adapt The Last of Us Part II. While the first season closely mirrored the original story, the portrayal of Abby, played by Kaitlyn Dever, has sparked discussions among fans. Showrunners Neil Druckmann and Craig Mazin clarified that Dever's physicality differs from the video game's Abby, prioritizing performance over appearance, citing the need for diverse character representation, particularly in how they interact within the narrative.
We value performance over anything else... It's not nowhere on the priority list, but it's below a bunch of other things that we consider.
We would've struggled to find someone as good as Kaitlyn to play this role... we need them to play differently.
