During a jazz tangcay jazz press conference of the Variety portal in Los Angeles, Pascal described the process of building that connection with Luna as an organic evolution of season 1 to season 2.
“I think we had a very well defined plot arc”Said Pascal. “I started the season with [Luna]. We start the first season together on day D, right? So there was a kind of link, an initiation process, a total immersion. We had our essays and pre -production. We did rafting. ”
Luna intervened: “We went to do rafting in the Bow River, which was really pleasant.”
Pascal said that in season 1, the two characters were separated and gathered: “They put everything together in the snow.”
“I was attracted to you when I felt that much of the essence of my character began to reveal himself already being interpreted,” said Pascal, heading to Luna. “So in the second season, he felt as a natural construction of what we had established as characters and fellow stars.”
Luna agreed with Pascal and pointed out: “I think when we started, we had a very pleasant Facetime call in which I felt a very special familiarity with you”.
At the conference, which was attended by creators Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmannas well as other cast members of the second season, such as Isabela Merced and Young MazinoPascal talked about the arrival of the long -awaited new season. “I think it is really exciting to give everyone another season of a series that everyone loved and in which everyone has worked so hard and in which they have invested so much,” he said.
The actor was asked about his way of thinking when addressing the five -year jump of season 1 to season 2. The character of Pascal, Joel, and the character of Bella RamseyEllie, are somewhat distanced at the beginning of the second season.
Speaking to Ramsey, Pascal commented: “I feel that it was a beautiful idea of Craig and Neil that the first thing I could film were you and I alone, in a fairly intimate environment. There is an incredibly painful distance between them two and the representation of the scene, but still we could be in the set, having fun, laughing and things like that. And that was incredibly reconidly reconnee, it was as a recon.
For Pascal, this role is different from that of others: “I felt grateful for being back, but at the same time, this experience, more than any other I have had, I find it difficult to separate what the characters live on how it makes me feel, in an unhealthy way. So, in a way, I feel his pain, “said Pascal.
The series, set in a post -epocalyptic world full of humans that have been transformed by a virus into zombie creatures, debuted for the first time in 2023. Pascal answered a question about the current relevance of The Last of Us, commenting that “narrating stories is cathartic.”
“There is a very healthy pleasure and sometimes sick in that type of catharsis and a safe space to see human relations in crisis and pain and intelligently draw a political allegory, a social allegory, and base it on the world we live in,” he said.
Pedro Pascal talked about the impact of the program on his life and public profile
“This work definitely created a new chapter in my life In a deep way due to the personal experience I had when doing the program and then, of course, the way it was received, ”said Pascal.
He acknowledged that it is uncommon for the program to be “received in a manner according to the importance it has for all of us.”
The program is a support point when you receive more attention from the public, he said. Pascal praised a Kaitlyn Deverwho joined the second season as Abby’s character. “It also happened in the second season, when we met, it was like: I have admired your work for so many years, and I couldn’t believe that I could have appeared in scenes with you,” Pascal said.
They also asked Pascal about Joel’s protective attitude towards Ellie and if he is inspired by any of his own relationships. “Protect the people I want, and I think that is probably the main component with which I identify,” he said.
The second season of The Last of US arrives in HBO and Max on April 13 at 11pm.
