"The Last of Us" movie updates have been scarce lately, but it seems Maisie Williams is still game to be Ellie.

There have been doubts that "Game of Thrones" star Maisie Williams will take on the role of Ellie in the movie adaptation of "The Last of Us" and it's not unfounded. MovieNewsGuide revealed that the movie is still in development and that while the screenplay is progressing, it will take time before filming of "The Last of Us" begins.

If "The Last of Us" filming happens in a couple of years down the road, that would mean Maisie Williams could be a little bit older to take on the heroine of the movie, Ellie. Talking to Screenrant, the "Game of Thrones" star said, '"Honestly I would love to and I think they would love me to play Ellie also, and that's where it is at the moment."

At the time of the interview, "The Last of Us" was still in theory, with Williams affirming the early stages of the movie's development. "There's no script, no director, it's still very early days for the whole project, but if it all goes ahead soon enough I think, yeah, I would love to," she pointed out.

Meanwhile, there have been speculations on "The Last of Us" plot especially since it involves a post-apocalyptic world and the movie's translation from the videogame. However, Neil Druckmann, game developer, revealed to IGN that the movie will be an adaptation of the videogame.

While he doesn't reveal a lot of updates about the plot, speculations on "The Last of Us" have focused on the two major characters appearing in the movie. Apart from Ellie who is supposedly going to be portrayed by Maisie Williams, Joel will be another main character in the movie.

Joel hasn't been casted at the moment, but comments on previous reports have mentioned the likes of Clint Eastwood or Ron Howard for "The Last of Us" movie hero.

Other reports have picked out a younger version of cast members for Joel in "The Last of Us" movie. Gerard Butler and Chris Pratt are among the actors speculated to be part of the movie; however, confirmed updates on casting have yet to be revealed.
