2 Superheroes Pedro Pascal Could Play In The MCU

Another role that would fit Pascal’s capabilities while providing representation in the MCU for another Hispanic character is Ghost Rider, specifically the Robbie Reyes version. Coincidentally, the character has another link to Pascal as Spider-Man 2099 did through Oscar Isaac. Gabriel Luna played this version of Ghost Rider in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 4 and also plays the brother of Pascal’s Joel, Tommy Miller, in HBO’s upcoming The Last of Us.

Reyes was the fifth Marvel character to take on the mantle of Ghost Rider and drives a black muscle car as opposed to a motorcycle. One way this character could appear in the MCU is again through the Multiverse Saga, linking to Luna’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. version. If the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. universe is confirmed as part of the MCU multiverse, Pascal could be introduced as Earth-616’s version of Reyes. This would make sense, as both Spider-Man 2099 and Reyes appeared in the Secret Wars comic book, meaning a Multiverse Saga appearance is all the more likely.

On top of this, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has often mentioned the MCU’s supernatural side, frequently theorized to be building to an MCU Midnight Sons team. One of Marvel’s most supernatural characters in Marvel’s stacked roster is Ghost Rider himself. If the likes of Doctor Strange, Blade, and Black Knight were to form an MCU version of Midnight Sons, Ghost Rider could be a notable inclusion played by Pascal as the Robbie Reyes variant.

Which Upcoming MCU Movies Could Pedro Pascal Appear In?

As mentioned above, the most likely MCU film Pascal could appear in, as one of these characters at least, is Avengers: Secret Wars. During the 2015 Secret Wars storyline, Miguel O’Hara used the alias Miguel Stone and was the head of Alchemax on Battleword. While not playing the most integral part in the story, the MCU could certainly feature this story in some way in the film in order for the character to appear.

Robbie Reyes is also present in Secret Wars’ Battleworld in a subplot involving his brother Gabe. With Avengers: Secret Wars’ story currently under intense secrecy, and unclear whether it will adapt the original Secret Wars or 2015’s version, it is also unclear exactly how the plot will go. However, with both characters appearing in some capacity in the 2015 version, Marvel Studios could certainly include cameos of both played by various actors, Pascal potentially being one of them.

As touched on briefly before, another place Pascal could appear if cast as Robbie Reyes is an MCU Midnight Sons project. It has been theorized throughout the majority of Phase 4 that Marvel Studios would eventually make a Midnight Sons project, be it on the big screen or Disney+. If this was to be the case, Ghost Rider would be almost guaranteed as a team member. While there are many Ghost Riders in the comics, Nicolas Cage played the Johnny Blaze version in two feature films already, meaning Reyes could be given the spotlight and open the door for Pascal’s MCU introduction.
