Jeffrey Wright (American fiction, The Batman, Westworld) will reprise his role as Isaac In The last of us‘ second season. While the character does not have much screen time in The Last of Us Part IIhe embodies the ugly truths of the WLF that Abby is confronted with. Ruthless and cunning, he is first introduced in the game as he is in the middle of torturing a prisoner of war. If the second season is anything like the first, it may expand on his character as Bill and Frank. Isaac only had a few scenes in the game, but thanks to Wright’s voice acting, he was an impressive presence, so perhaps the show could delve deeper into the story of how he became the leader of the WLF and what made him such a brutal tactician so they can utilize Wright’s talents.
