On Monday night, Merced posed on the black carpet outside the Regency Village Theatre in Westwood with “Madame Web” stars Dakota Johnson, Sydney Sweeney and Celeste O’Connor for the world premiere of Sony and Marvel’s superhero movie.
And on Tuesday, she’ll hop a flight to Vancouver, Canada, to begin work on HBO’s “The Last of Us,” where she joins the cast of the Emmy-winning series as Dina. “I’ve already gotten a taste,” Merced said about joining “The Last of Us” crew for Season 2.
