**Brisbane, Australia** – Actress Kaitlyn Dever, currently filming “Godzilla x Kong: Supernova” in Australia, offered insights into the divisive season finale of HBO’s “The Last of Us” in a recent interview. Dever plays Abby Anderson, the character responsible for the shocking death of Joel, played by Pedro Pascal.
Dever revealed that she was initially approached about “The Last of Us” years prior and was aware of Abby’s central role and Joel’s fate. The actress spoke of the immense pressure of portraying such a controversial character, especially filming the pivotal scene just days after her mother’s funeral. She explained how her father and the support of the crew helped her navigate the emotional turmoil.
The season finale, which featured Abby’s brief but impactful return, left viewers with many questions. When pressed about what Season 3 holds for Abby, Dever remained tight-lipped, hinting only at co-creator Craig Mazin’s promise that it would be even “crazier” than previous seasons. She was able to confirm that her first scene to film was the scene when she killed Joel.
Dever also spoke about the overwhelmingly passionate response from fans, recounting how she observed families and couples reacting to the infamous Joel episode. She says that she was pleasantly surprised by the positivity it got.
Despite the emotional intensity of “The Last of Us,” Dever seems to be doing well and enjoying her time filming the latest installment of the “Godzilla x Kong” franchise.
