The Last of Us Season 3 to Recast Danny Ramirez Amid Scheduling Conflicts
So here’s the latest update making waves around HBO’s The Last of Us . It’s now been confirmed that Danny Ramirez will not be returning for season three, and his character, Manny, is officially being recast. According to reports that were later confirmed by HBO, the decision was made due to scheduling conflicts, although the exact details behind those conflicts haven’t been fully spelled out yet.
Because of that, the recasting feels like a significant change for the series. Casting for season three is already underway, and a new actor will be stepping into the role as production gears up. The upcoming season is set to continue adapting the second Last of Us video game, with Kaitlyn Dever returning to lead the story as Abby. Craig Mazin will be serving as the sole showrunner this time around and is also expected to direct multiple episodes.

While HBO hasn’t officially confirmed why Ramirez couldn’t make it work, many are pointing to his growing commitments in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Ramirez is best known to many fans as Joaquin Torres, who took on the Falcon mantle after appearing in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier . He has since returned in Captain America: Brave New World and is already confirmed to appear in Avengers: Doomsday . There’s also strong speculation that he may show up in Avengers: Secret Wars , which could easily create major scheduling conflicts.
Outside of Marvel, Ramirez has also made a strong impression in films like Top Gun: Maverick and continues to line up high-profile projects, including a reunion with director Julius Onah on the upcoming film Samo Lives . With his career momentum clearly accelerating, it seems likely that something big pulled him away from one of television’s most acclaimed shows.
Season three of The Last of Us is expected to begin production next year in Vancouver, with filming scheduled to run for several months. While losing Ramirez is definitely a blow, fans will now be watching closely to see who steps in next and whether the new casting can maintain the emotional weight Manny was meant to bring to the story.
