Maisie Williams, the actress who plays Arya Stark on HBO’s Game of Thrones, said in an interview that she’s still interested in playing Ellie in the upcoming movie adaptation of The Last of Us. More specifically, when asked about the role in an interview, she said, “it’s looking like ‘yes’”, though she didn’t explicitly confirm it.

She did also say that she sat down with the producer, Sam Raimi, as well as the game director, Neil Druckmann, to discuss the casting. She was apparently asked to join in on a Comic Con panel to discuss The Last of Us but declined due to her schedule with Game of Thrones, but Druckmann did actually reference her during the panel, which has, of course, created even more buzz around her potential involvement.

Maisie herself said:
“So the way it was left is they want me to do it, and I want to do it. But there's no script, no director, and no anything else. So at this moment, it's looking like, 'Yes,' but it’s still such early days. If they make it in 30 years, they can't have a 40-year-old Ellie. So at the moment, it's looking good, and I'd love to do it. Hell yeah."

The movie was only announced in 2014 and there’s no indication on who is being considered for Joel’s role just yet, but we’ll keep you updated as the story develops
