It has been confirmed! “The Last of Us” season 2 is in the making and fans are going crazy. If you have played or watched the game, you would know that there are a few new characters being introduced. Owen, Mel, and the most anticipated is Abby. It is a common trend for fans to jump into fan casting actors that they think would fit the characters. The most popular choice for Abby is Shannon Berry, who is known for playing Dot Campbell in “The Wilds.”

In the game version of “The Last of Us,” the face model for Abby is Jocelyn Mettler. While we know that Abby is just a fictional character and Mettler is not like her in real life, some people consider them the same person. Mettler has revealed that she receives tons of hate and death threats for playing Abby. This is a common experience for actors who play villainous roles.

Discussion has sparked the idea of finding ways around the hate speech. Of course Berry would be a wonderful choice for Abby, but the results of playing the character could be detrimental to Berry’s mental health and career. The actors should be made aware of this before casting. Many people think that the best choice for the casting should be an actor who does not have social media. That way they have no way of receiving hurtful comments and threats.

There is still a quite a bit of time to decide the casting, so the table is still open. We will see who will become the next Abby Anderson.
