Having already proven herself capable of stealing pretty much any scene she happens to wind up in, Game Of Thrones star Bella Ramsey—a.k.a. fan-favorite pre-teen ass-kicker Lyanna “Lil’ Mormont” Mormont—is now prepared to take the weight of the world on her shoulders. (Or, at least, the weight of HBO’s next big attempt to recapture those ludicrously big GoT numbers.) THR reports today that Ramsey has been tapped to star in Craig Mazin’s upcoming adaptation of critically acclaimed video game series The Last Of Us, playing the younger of the series’ two protagonists, Ellie.
