The Last of Us: 7 actors who could play Abby Anderson in season 2
By Mark Lynch
Florence Pugh
Florence Pugh has shown that there isn’t much she can’t do. She’s been on a tear since appearing in Black Widow. She’s been everywhere from movies to red carpets. It’s mostly because, let’s be honest, she stole the show in Black Widow and again in Hawkeye. She was funny, strong, and a believable fighter.
Florence Pugh is a phenomenal performer and can easily pull off being Abby. The only problem is she’s not much taller than Bella Ramsey (who stands at 5 feet 1 inch). Although, the creative team could find a way to make this work. This could be one of the few changes that the show makes to the source material.
Erin Kellyman
Erin Kellyman is a name that has come up in conversations about playing Abby. She’s a great actor and her character was one of the better parts of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier. In the Marvel Studios series, she led a group of freedom fighters and did it well. In The Last of Us Part II, Abby had to be a leader. She may not have had the title, but people followed her because of how she carried herself.
Erin Kellyman could bring a similar feeling to Abby in the next season of The Last of Us. She is close to Bella Ramsey’s age as well. That will help viewers when the two characters meet.
