The footage not only gives us a glimpse at new sides to Joel and Ellie, played by Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey (mostly going through tough times), but also offers glimpses of new and returning major characters, including Joel’s brother Tommy (Gabriel Luna), Abby (Kaitlyn Dever), Dina (Isabella Merced), and Jeffrey Wright, who reprises his role as Isaac from the games. It also features our first look at a mysterious new character, played by Catherine O’Hara, who asks Joel an intriguing question that presumably concerns Ellie: “Did you hurt her?”
