Just last month, Game of Thrones actress Maisie Williams revealed that she's very close to officially joining the project.
"There was a whole thing that went on Twitter [of fans suggesting me for the role]," the young actress said last year. "I didn't know a lot about [the game]. I Googled it. Ashley Johnson - who did Ellie's voice - [fans] asked her what she thought of me and she said, 'That's pretty much my dream.' I don't follow her but I was silently stalking her wondering what she thought of all this."
