Jeffrey Wright returns as Issac
In a thrilling announcement, it has been confirmed that Jeffrey Wright will reprise his role as Issac in Season 2 of The Last of Us. Issac is the formidable leader of a militia group known as the Washington Liberation Front. In the video game, Issac’s character is depicted as a powerful figure who is caught up in a never-ending war against a resourceful enemy.
The Last of Us is set in a world that’s fallen apart. Twenty years after everything went south, we follow Joel, played by Pedro Pascal. Joel is on a mission to help Ellie, a 14-year-old girl (played by Bella Ramsey), escape a harsh quarantine zone. This might sound simple but it’s not. They travel through the dangerous ruins of America after civilization’s collapse.
