Alien: Romulus and The Last of Us Part 2 have a bit of an unexpected connection.
Alien: Romulus – the latest film in the Alien franchise – recently released, and stars Isabela Merced in a leading role. While Merced has acted in many films and series, those on this site may recognise her name as that of Dina in the upcoming second season of The Last of Us. But, that’s not where the connection ends.
Over the weekend, Alien: Romulus director Fede Álvarez revealed the film’s character of Kay (played by Merced) was actually inspired in part by Dina from The Last of Us Part 2. This was before Merced was cast in either role. What are the chances – Dina see that coming, and all that. Please be aware of a small The Last of Us Part 2 spoiler below.
