The Last of Us<\/em> is now gearing toward the series finale next week, and after Episode 8 gave us a look at original Joel actor Troy Baker, we\u2019re now set to have the origin story of Ellie\u2019s mother played by the OG game Ellie, Ashley Johnson.<\/p>\n

$\"Original$ <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the preview:<\/p>\n

<\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/figure>\nWe only have a short shot of Johnson, but it looks like her scene is going to have her being attacked by a cordyceps; which could probably explain why Ellie becomes immune.<\/p>\nWith the series now gearing up toward its finale with Joel and Ellie meeting the Fireflies, it seems that we\u2019re going to be getting a flashback sequence with Ellie\u2019s mother and probably the backstory of why Marlene knows who Ellie is and why she dropped her off in the FEDRA military school.<\/p>\nWith the pace the series was going, I honestly thought the show could end around Dave\u2019s arc, but I guess Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann are going to complete the story of the first game. Of course, this leads us to speculate about what could happen for Season 2. While we could get the events of The Last of Us Part II<\/em>, I think this could be time for the series to deviate a little bit and give us some original arcs that weren\u2019t in the game. Part II<\/em> was also filled with its own flashbacks, so maybe we can watch the trip to the museum, but maybe it could also be time to establish the primary antagonist (some would argue co-protagonist) of Part II<\/em>, Abby.<\/p>\nAnd by the time we get to Season 3, we can now follow an older Ellie from Part II<\/em> as she goes on her revenge mission in Seattle.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s just a pitch.<\/p>\nThe Last of Us<\/em> is now streaming on HBO Max with new episodes every Sunday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n <a href=\"https:\/\/playerassist.com\/original-ellie-ashley-johnson-confirmed-for-the-last-of-us-episode-9\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Last of Us is now gearing toward the series finale next week, and after Episode 8 gave us a look at original Joel actor Troy Baker, we\u2019re now set to have the origin story of Ellie\u2019s mother played by the OG game Ellie, Ashley Johnson.
