The Last of Us: Bella Ramsey on Spider-Man, Movie With Pedro Pascal
Bella Ramsey has an idea of what they’d like to do next with Pedro Pascal following the death of his character, Joel, on the second season of “The Last of Us.”
“I think maybe like a heist movie where we’re robbing a bank together,” Ramsey told me Sunday at the HBO Emmys nominees event in Hollywood.
Ramsey said they are — no surprise! — most frequently asked about Pascal. “It’s, ‘How is Pedro Pascal? Is he as nice as he seems?’” Ramsey said. “That’s mostly what people ask me, and the answer is, ‘Yes.’…He’s here and I have not seen him in so long. I’m looking around, trying to find him.”
They added, “Most of our texts consist of, ‘Where in the world are you? I’m here, are you there? Oh, we just missed each other.’”
Talk also turned to superheroes because of Pascal’s recent work in “The Fantastic Four: First Steps.”
“You didn’t call [Pascal] and say you wanted to be in the next MCU movie?” I asked.
“I don’t know about that,” Ramsey said, adding, “I could be Spider-Man. Tom Holland did a great job though. So maybe they do need to make a new [superhero] for me.”
Ramsey is actually a newbie to superhero movies. They’ve only watched one, an Andrew Garfield “Spider-Man” film: “It was the first time I watched a Marvel film, and that was two months, three months ago.”
What did they think? “Incredible,” Ramsey said. “I loved it.”
Ramsey is nominated for an Emmy for the second time in as many years for their work as Ellie on “The Last of Us.” The series goes into Emmys night on Sept. 14 with 17 nominations.
Walking Dead's Norman Reedus reflects on the end of beloved spin-off Daryl Dixon: "It's different"
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon may have only aired its third season this autumn, but the end is already on the horizon. The fourth and final chapter of the beloved spin-off is currently being filmed in Spain, as Daryl (Norman Reedus) and Carol Peletier (Melissa McBride) continue their arduous journey home.
The eight-episode instalment will mark the end of the pair's latest adventure, which saw them battling both zombies and humans across Europe. But will it be the last we see of the iconic characters?
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Reedus reflected on the show's imminent end and addressed whether season four will play out the way he expected.
"You know, it's different. This show has always coincided with my life a bit. With season four, Daryl really goes inside [himself], and so, I'm inside, too," he shared.
"I'm in my head a lot, especially for the episode we're filming now. It's filling my head with the future, the past and the present of this character."

The actor confirmed that the cast is currently shooting episode six of the super-sized season, adding: "We're getting really close." Though he believes "there's always more story you can tell", Reedus assured fans that the spin-off is "wrapping up in a perfect way".
"It's answering all of these reasons why and what all of it has meant, and what have we done to get here? What are the mistakes we made to get here? And what can we do to have a better life for ourselves?

"So it's all very trippy, what we're working on right now. There's a lot of internal fact-checking that I'm doing, and that the character is doing, and watching things happen around me that I never expected."
The star shared that Daryl's current story was developed in an natural way, with no concrete conclusion planned for the character. He explained that the spin-off progressed "organically" across all four seasons.
"Someone asked me recently, when I was doing season one, would I have thought about what I was doing in season four? And we just didn't do it that way. There's no season in the future already written when we're working on the first. It's created organically as we go along," he said.
