A Last of Us sequel is basically a given from all the success the game got, the real question is what will they do with the sequel. There are so many different angles they can take with this sequel because the ending of the original is so open that they can go many different directions with it or just start over with a new cast. I think a Last of Us sequel with Ellie and Joel can work well if done right because there was a lot of questions left unanswered that can be explored in the next game like:
*SPOILERS*
What happened to the rest of the fireflys? Will Ellie trust and stay with Joel? Are there still remaining fireflys still searching for the cure and if so will they still go after Ellie? Will Ellie find out the truth?
I can understand why many don't want a sequel with Ellie and Joel because the ending was so good by leaving it ambiguous with just a simple "Okay" to answer all the questions but if Naughty Dog wanted they could easily just have the sequel start were it left off.
I personally would like a new cast because theirs so much you can do in that world they could do the new game through the struggles of being a hunter or being a firefly after the rampage Joel went on in the hospital. Or something like Ellie in the future when shes an adult and she slowly comes to terms that she will have to sacrifice herself for the sake of humanity.
