Kaitlyn Dever’s Abby Won’t Be as Muscular in ‘The Last of Us’ Season 2
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Druckmann clarified some concerns about Dever’s performance in the upcoming season 2, explaining that different elements are emphasized in video games compared to television series. Specifically, when creating Abby for the game, Druckmann designed her to be a formidable opponent with large muscles and towering stature to make her fighting style resemble Joel’s. However, in the TV adaptation, the need for this physicality is not as important since the interactive element of the story is absent, allowing the drama to take center stage instead.
