Game of Thrones actress Maisie Williams, probably better known by fans as Arya Stark, looks set to star as Ellie in The Last of Us movie adaptation.

Whilst the project is still in its early stages – it currently has no script or director – Williams says she is definitely up for the role.

“I had a meeting with [producer] Sam Raimi and [game director] Neil Druckmann. And they said they’d love if you would moderate the panel at Comic-Con, but you’d need to watch the walk-through and know your s*** because there are massive fans of this and we wouldn’t want it to go wrong.

“I was doing so much work for Thrones that I didn’t want to half-arse do it, so I said I’m not going to [moderate]. They said fine, but they’re gonna announce they had talks.

“So the way it was left is they want me to do it, and I want to do it. But there’s no script, no director, and no anything else. So at this moment, it’s looking like, ‘Yes,’ but it’s still such early days. If they make it in 30 years, they can’t have a 40-year-old Ellie. So at the moment, it’s looking good, and I’d love to do it. Hell yeah.”

If Williams does come on board to play Ellie who would you like to star alongside her as Joel? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
