The Last of Us Part 3 leaks point to new characters, Ellie's role
New information on The Last of Us Part 3 reportedly leaked over the weekend, from two internet tipsters better known for their scoops on Marvel TV shows and movies.
While Naughty Dog itself is keeping its plans for the series close to its chest, leaker DanielRPK revealed that Part 3 will introduce five new characters — Lucas, Mason, Val, Ezra and Gracie.

According to DanielRPK, Lucas is an «affable» character who «develops a relationship with another young scavenger and will have a turn to show his dark side». This younger scavenger could perhaps be Gracie, who is said to be between the ages of 18-25.
Mason, meanwhile, is a «former soldier» who must «choose between his loyalty» to other characters in the group when «Val gets put in charge» (with Val being the alleged leader of this group of survivors).
Finally, Ezra appears to be some sort of antagonist, with DanielRPK reporting that they want to «take over the house from Val».
As for returning characters, fellow leaker ViewerAnon stated that Ellie will be «at least as important» in Part 3 as she was in The Last of Us Part 2. There has been no word, as yet, on whether Abby and Lev will return for the next instalment of the series.
Additionally, tipster ViewerAnon has claimed that «major filming» for Part 3 will begin as soon as this year.
