"Did he not play the game?" - Fans laugh as Pedro Pascal shared his thoughts on The Last Of Us S2

Pedro Pascal has become the Zendaya of male actors, because it seems like every other movie or TV show wants to cast him, as everything he's in turns out to be a hit. One of his most recent shows, The Last of Us, based on the award-winning video game of the same name, is back for its second season, set to release on April 13th on HBO Max. And the trailer just dropped on Sunday!

Recently, at SXSW 2025, Pedro Pascal was asked about The Last of Us Season 2, to which he responded, "It's f**king heartbreaking," before jokingly calling the showrunners "sick people." His reaction has only amped up fans' excitement, making the wait for April 13th even harder.

Hilarious Fan Reactions

Fans were quite amused by Pedro Pascal's response and had plenty of hilarious things to say.

"Did he not play the game?" a fan wondered.

Based on Pascal's response, fans believe he probably never played The Last of Us 2. Who knows, maybe avoiding the game was part of his process to explore the character in his way.

"On a scale from 1 to Game of Thrones Red Wedding, how bad is it?" asked another.

So, Mr. Pascal, on a scale from 1 to the Game of Thrones Red Wedding, where you know, everyone died - how insane is Season 2 going to be? Those who haven’t played the game will brace for impact accordingly.

Well, why not turn Pedro Pascal’s response into an appreciation post? After all, the 49-year-old actor has come a long way since gaining international fame with Narcos Season 1 in 2015.

"Neil Druckmann is more to blame tbh," a fan pointed.

If parts of The Last of Us Season 1 shocked or upset you, and you think Season 2 will be even worse, then you know exactly who to blame - Neil Druckmann, the mastermind behind the game.

"If Pedro’s saying that, we’re about to experience emotional damage on a whole new level," commented another.
