At present, everyone knows that the heart and soul of property arise from the adorable dynamic between the main tracks Ellie and Joel. Like the first game, season 1 of the show focused almost entirely on their relationship when they were traveling from one corner of the United States to another.

This being an adaptation, the showrunners of “The Last of Us” Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann have every opportunity to develop what the games have established for the first time – and this includes more screen time for its new actors. Kaitlyn Dever already makes headlines like the formidable antagonist Abby While she runs to the Joel de Pedro Pascal and Ellie de Bella Ramsey, but she will hardly be alone. We know that we will spend a lot of time with Jesse de Young Mazino and Dina of Isabela Merced, and even Catherine O’Hara as a new character named Gail. For our needs here, however, we will focus on a key member of the Abby group: Manny, depicted by actor Danny Ramirez. If it seems familiar to you, well, there are very good reasons for this.

What could be more shocking than going from the dedicated companion of the most serious superhero of Marvel to a revengeful member of the group who hunts our favorite characters in a landscape overwhelmed by infected mushrooms in “The Last of Us”? Danny Ramirez is no stranger to large swings, but the public will most likely remember him His recent appearance in “Captain America: Brave New World”. Lying like the new Falcon named Joaquín Torres, Ramirez played a crucial role in the safeguard of the dark villain day (the one who pulls the strings behind Harrison Ford Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross). It was not his first appearance in the Marvel cinematographic universe, however, because he originally played the same character in the Disney + Streaming series “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier”. The end of “brave new world” set up Joaquín to take into account even more in the action In future films, as Sam Wilson is shown in the early stages of restarting a new version of Avengers.

Before that, however, Ramirez also appeared in another A major blockbuster alongside the biggest company star in the company – Tom Cruise in “Top Gun: Maverick”. Although he is not as central in history, the actor has portrayed a fighter pilot trainee on behalf of Lieutenant Mickey “Fanboy” Garcia. (You probably remember the scene where he and another pilot lose a bet against Cruise’s “Maverick” pete, Mitchell, letting them sweat through two hundred pumps as a punishment.) Although it could become his big break, Ramirz has been acting for much longer than that … including an underestimated project that you should probably look before “the last season”.

In 2022, Ramirez played in “No release”, who / film called “A Taut Little Psychological Thriller” in our criticism at the time. The configuration of the film follows Havana Rose Liu as the main protagonist Darby, a drug addict in difficulty which escapes his rehabilitation center in the middle of a blizzard in order to visit his mother in difficulty and distant who is about to take his last breath. When Darby is inevitably wedged in the storm, she houses in place in an almost abandoned rest arrest with a handful of foreigners – and quickly realizes that one of them seems to be in the midst of an attempted sinister removal.

Ramirez plays an attractive foreigner named Ash, one of the many potential suspects that could be more than they seem in the thriller (mainly) in one place. As this is a best experienced film without spoilers, we will avoid describing exactly the factor of the character of Ramirez (or others) in the plot. Rest assured, however, that the actor can really flex his talents in a way that surprisingly completes his performance in “The Last of Us”. With Season 3 has already been confirmed in progressViewers can hope for much more zombie action to come.
