Pedro Pascal, Chris Evans and Dakota Johnson's rom-com Materialists has been generating buzz ever since its trailer dropped. Helmed by Celine Song, the movie was released in theatres on June 13. It has managed to attract viewers, despite big-ticket releases like How to Train Your Dragon. Materialists is expected to earn around $8 million to $10 million in its opening weekend, as per Variety.
For Pedro Pascal's fans, the movie is another chance to see the actor after his exit from The Last of Us season 2. Pascal's role as Joel Miller in the series won him critical acclaim. His bonding with Ellie (played by Bella Ramsey) as the duo traverse through a post-apocalyptic America filled with zombie-like creatures was the heart of the story.
In the second season of The Last of Us, Pascal's character is killed off by Abby (Kaitlyn Dever). The gruesome nature of his death drives Ellie's quest for revenge, setting up the plot for the rest of the season.

So I guess the short answer to that question that everyone is asking is: No, I'm not answering.'
