Oscar Isaac wants Pedro Pascal to play a grumpy-old Spider-Man variant

Pedro Pascal has had a very successful year in 2023. The Game of Thrones alum had a strong start to the year in HBO’s The Last of Us, and both viewers and critics applauded his depiction of Joel, which led to his first-ever Emmy nomination. Everyone wants to see Pedro play more diverse roles, and the most recent suggestion might make you picture him as a web-slinging superhero.

Oscar Isaac says Pedro Pascal can play a “grumpy, old” Spider-Person

The Moonknight star who recently played Spider-Man 2099 aka Miguel O’Hara in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse recently talked to British GQ and said, “Let’s find something for him [Pedro]. He should be a Spider-Person — like a cranky, old Spider-Person.”

How Pedro Pascal met Oscar Isaac

In an earlier interview with Wired, Pascal recalled, “I met him through a play we did together in 2005. An Off-Broadway show where we were getting $500 a week, before taxes.” 

“He played a ghost, which meant that the living characters in the story could not see him,” Pascal explained. “I had to do my scenes, and he would physically be there, but because my character couldn’t see him, he could f— with me, all in front of live audiences, as much as he wanted, trying to get me to crack up or forget my lines. The memory is simultaneously dark and wonderful.”
