A big actor is showing up to play a villain that did not originally appear in The Last of Us Part II at all.
Peter Sarsgaard has been cast in season 3 of The Last of Us as Amon, one of the Seraphite leaders, one who did not appear in the game. The original leader of the Seraphites was “The Prophet,” but she was executed by the WLF’s Isaac after her capture. I imagine that Amon may serve as more of a singular “face” for the cult, as there wasn’t all that much of a central character who was the leader in the original game.
