Bella Ramsey, widely celebrated for their role as Ellie in HBO’s hit series The Last of Us, has expressed interest in stepping into the world of superheroes and cinematic heist adventures. Ramsey recently shared their aspirations during a conversation at the HBO Emmys Nominees event in Hollywood.
Bella Ramsey’s Heist Movie Vision
Ramsey revealed they would love to work alongside Pedro Pascal again, following the tragic events of Season 2 that saw Pascal’s character, Joel, meet his end. “I think maybe like a heist movie where we’re robbing a bank together,” Ramsey shared when asked about a potential future collaboration with Pascal. Fans have frequently asked Ramsey about their off-screen connection with the beloved actor, to which Ramsey endearingly replied, “He’s as nice as he seems.”
Describing their friendship, Ramsey noted, “Most of our texts consist of, ‘Where in the world are you? I’m here, are you there? Oh, we just missed each other.’” The unique bond between these co-stars continues to captivate audiences.
Superhero Aspirations: Bella Ramsey as Spider-Man?
In a conversation about superheroes, Ramsey expressed enthusiasm about joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe. “I could be Spider-Man,” they stated with a smile, praising Tom Holland for his stellar portrayal of the iconic superhero. Ramsey added, “Maybe they do need to make a new [superhero] for me.” While Ramsey admitted they’ve only recently started exploring the superhero genre—watching an Andrew Garfield Spider-Man film just a few months ago—they called it an “incredible” experience.
Emmy Nominations and What’s Next for The Last of Us
Ramsey’s exceptional performance as Ellie has earned them a coveted Emmy nomination for the second year in a row. The Last of Us is a strong contender at this year’s Emmy Awards with 17 nominations overall, further cementing it as a cultural phenomenon.
However, fans eager for updates on Season 3 may need to exercise patience. Ramsey disclosed, “I have no scripts nor do I know when filming begins for Season 3.” As anticipation builds, audiences are left speculating about what lies ahead for the critically acclaimed series.
With a bright future and an ever-growing list of dreams, Bella Ramsey’s career trajectory promises to remain as dynamic as their talents. Marvel and heist movie creators—are you listening?
