HBO and "The Last of Us" writers/executive producers Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann have, very wisely, elected to bring Wright back in the role that he previously tackled via voice-acting and motion-capture in 2020's "The Last of Us Part II" video game. Per Entertainment Weekly, the actor will costar in "The Last of Us" season 2 as Isaac Dixon, an antagonist whom HBO describes as "the quietly powerful leader of a large militia group who sought liberty but instead has become mired in an endless war against a surprisingly resourceful enemy." To say much more than that would be to risk spoiling what awaits our heroes when they resume their adventures in the show's post-apocalyptic, fungus zombie-overrun universe.
