Isabela Merced Talks ‘The Last of Us’ Role & Teases Pedro Pascal in ‘Superman’ vs. ‘Fantastic Four’ Duel

Isabela Merced has a packed year ahead. She will take on the role of Kendra Saunders, also known as Hawkgirl, in the upcoming Superman film, which is currently in production. She’s also set to appear in the second season of The Last of Us, where she will portray Dina.

Taking into account the massive popularity of both franchises, needles to say Merced is quickly becoming a fan-favorite in the circles.

Recently, Merced spoke about Dina, Ellie’s love interest, and Jesse’s ex in The Last of Us Season 2. She is a free-spirited person who is deeply loyal to Ellie, but that loyalty is tested by the harsh world they live in. The actress recently commented on the role and admitted several interesting things.

“I kind of see Dina as an extension of myself if I ever found myself in a post-apocalyptic situation, I would try to lighten up things a bit.” She explained. “We have the power to shift our perspective and make our own reality. I think Dina is sort of, Ellie’s compass and light in a way and I think Dina is also grieving at the same time.

This is where the actress realizes she is getting into spoiler territory and promptly stops herself from revealing more

“I’m just glad we will get to know Dina is more than just a funny guy.” She commented.

Merced then began teasing her co-star, Pedro Pascal. Like Merced, Pascal will also be part of a major superhero franchise this summer when Marvel’s Fantastic Four: First Steps hits theaters. Pascal will portray Reed Richards, also known as Mr. Fantastic, one of the smartest scientists in Marvel Comics.
