"The actual film, the making of the film, the script and everything is in very, very early days... It was announced sort of prematurely almost in that I would love to play Ellie, they would love me to play Ellie...There's no film happening at this very second, so I cannot play Ellie right at this very minute. But when that comes around - if and when that comes around - I'll be here," Digital Spy reported.

"Game of Thrones" star has been recognized worldwide through her role as Arya Stark in the HBO television series. Her character's tomboyish and rebellious personality gained appreciation of a larger crowd.

"The Last of Us," just like the HBO series, will set in post-apocalyptic America 20 years after a viral outbreak. Protagonists Ellie and Joel now have to make their way through the cities infested with zombies by garnering supplies, firearms, and combat skills.

"The Last of Us" film would not stray away as much from the award winning video game of the same name, Screen Rant reported.

Joel's character is yet to be filled and could feature another A lister actor. Reportedly, actors such as Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Gerard Butler and Josh Brolin could play alongside Williams in the film.

"Last of Us" is originally a video game that was released back in 2013 for PS3 and 2014 for PS4. It has won numerous awards, including the bestselling videogame to date.
