Washington DC [US], April 21 (ANI): Actor Pedro Pascal opened up about 'The Last Of Us' shocking twist in its second season when the actor's character Joel gets killed by a vengeful Abby.

The death of Pascal's character in 'The Last Of Us' was shocking for many of his fans. The shocking twist is straight out of the 'The Last Of Us Part II' video game.

'The Last of Us' video game fans knew that the Pascal's character would eventually meet its end.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, as quoted by Variety, Pascal said that he knew about his character's death, but was just waiting for 'how and when' his character's will meet its end.

'It's not like they said, 'Hey, we kill you at the beginning of season 2,'' said Pascal.

'But it was always an understanding that it would stay true to the source material in a specific way and that the, let's say, practical and exclusive obligation would be for season 1. It was just a matter of how and when,' added Pascal as quoted by Variety.

Earlier, while speaking to HBO during the official 'Last of Us' after show, Pascal said that he has nothing but respect for the fans of the show, or video game or the book of 'The Last of Us'.

'I have nothing but respect for the level of investment that people have in a video game or a TV show or movie or book. I experience that myself. I've flung books across the room because its impact is so profound on me and experiencing the story. I think it is incredibly painful for people and that's obviously a brilliant achievement of the storytelling,' said Pedro Pascal as reported by Variety.

According to Deadline, in the series, Dever's Abby holds Joel hostage and reveals she is the daughter of the doctor he shot in the head in the Season 1 finale to save Ellie.

She then shoots Joel in the leg and bludgeons him with a golf club. After switching to her fists and beating him up, Abby delivers the fatal blow via a spike to Joel's neck. (ANI)
