She would be a good ellie.
Lose the Game!!!!!!!

Get one of the Disney channel kids that would become a teenager by the time the producers will be looking for a cast

Casting Maisie Williams as Ellie is typecasting and just retreading old ground.
I mean she plays a little girl who has to travel across a ravaged continent with a gruff man with few moral lines left to cross, becoming a hardened killer along the way. In the end she reaches her destination but does not achieve what she wanted.
Not to mention at the pace the project is moving at she will be too old. (Although she'll still have a baby face.) Changing Ellie into a young adul5b4t instead of a child will lose some of the impact.
I am not sure a "The Last of Us" movie is a good idea in the first place. The game was moving not just for the story on screen, but how it was told and the journey and experience it took us through. Since it was such a long game, I really felt like I spent a year traveling with her by the end. Making a movie will cut drastically the time we will get to spend with these characters. It also doesn't follow a traditional 3-5 act movie structure.
I still trust Neil Druckmann though.

not a lot of people care about game of thrones, the series is niche

She ain't 14 no more though

I think she's a very good choice for Ellie.
Maisie is a fresher face than Chle "Hit-Girl" (I love Chle, don't get me wrong), fits in the age range, and I think she can pull off the look.
There's a lot of people around the world who's not that much into GoT, and she is an actress, Hollywood can make her look different from Arya Stark!
Please excuse my terrible redaction, english is not my native language.

It's the right choice. Maisie is mai waifu.

I think Sabrina carpenter would be a good Ellie

Absolutely agree.
I didn't mind Arya Stark in season 1 and 2. In fact she was one of the best characters. But everything after that has gone downhill and whether that's down to the character being this way or not it's enough to put me off Maisie Williams being the choice for Ellie.
It seems like all Arya did was shout her lines ("YOU'RE A LIAR!) or mumble them ("Nothing is just nothing")
I don't know. I might be focusing too much on the character rather than her abilities as an actress and I'll be honest I haven't seen her in anything other than GOT so I could be completely wrong. But for a complex role like Ellie I am expecting someone of a more higher caliber.

Everyone saying she isn't Ellie or doesn't look like her. You can't say that till she attempts to look like the role.
To sa5b4y she is good in game a thrones but not right for the game, is again, just assumptions. It's based on NOTHING tangible. Sorry guys.

I think it does matter what the character looks like. We want to watch the movie and think 'That is Ellie!' Even though she's a great actress, she's not suitable for the role of Ellie, nor in her acting or her appearance.

Chlo Moretz would do it for me, I know she's getting popular too but she seems the right choice imo, Maisie doesn't look right for it

I agree 100%. She is a great actress but she is not Ellie.

Exactly

She is a fresh face. She's don5b4e no big movies yet, and only one big TV series.
She doesn't need to look exactly like the game character. The movie is an adaption.

I agree. it would be nice if we had a relatively unknown character as Ellie. Plus, I don't think Maisie Williams looks like Ellie from the game.

Disagree. She would be perfect for the role.
