WARNING: This article includes spoilers from The Last of Us season 2.Danny Ramirez, who plays Joaquin Torres, a.k.a. the Falcon, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, shares his excitement to reunite with one of his The Last of Us co-stars in Avengers: Doomsday. One of the newest additions to the MCU timeline in 2025 will be the arrival of Reed Richards, a.k.a. Mister Fantastic, in The Fantastic Four: First Steps, which will properly launch Phase 6 this summer. Pedro Pascal will be bringing the Marvel icon to life, and is just getting started in the MCU, as he is already set to return for 2026’s Avengers: Doomsday.
However, fans of The Last of Us are getting a little reunion in Avengers: Doomsday, as the film will also feature Danny Ramirez, who played Manny in season 2 of the HBO drama. In a recent exclusive interview with ScreenRant for Captain America: Brave New World’s home media release, the MCU star shared his excitement about working with Pascal again in Avengers: Doomsday, and under different circumstances this time around, following The Fantastic Four: First Steps actor having his character, Joel Miller, killed off in The Last of Us season 2:
Pedro and I are going to work for a really long time, I love him. He’s incredibly intuitive, and the way he breaks story, I mean, he’s Pedro for a reason. It’s not just because he’s a star. He’s a star in one way, but he’s also an artist, and incredibly raw and vulnerable in his approach to everything, so I’m excited for our careers in working together. But the dynamic was really funny showing up to set, and even showing up to set in Canada with him for The Last of Us.
What Danny Ramirez’s Avengers: Doomsday Comments Mean For The MCU
While it was likely not thought about at the time when they were setting up the Avengers: Doomsday cast, the two actors both being in the film will definitely be fun for The Last of Us fans who see this film, especially if Reed and Joaquin get to have any actual interactions. From Ramirez’s thoughts, it’s clear that he is excited to be working with Pascal again after The Last of Us season 2. With Falcon and Mister Fantastic also being vastly different superheroes, that also makes the potential of their interactions an interesting one, particularly as Reed will be coming from a different Earth than Earth-616.
Whether or not there will be any actual scenes between Mister Fantastic and Falcon in Avengers: Doomsday remains to be seen. However, based on Ramirez’s newest comments, there definitely seems to be at least a moment or two coming up where their characters are perhaps at least in the same scene as each other. While there is unlikely to be any direct allusions to their work together on The Last of Us in Avengers: Doomsday, it will still be fun to see them in this context together as MCU heroes.
Our Take On Danny Ramirez’s Avengers: Doomsday Comments
Ramirez’s excitement about co-starring in Avengers: Doomsday alongside Pascal’s Mister Fantastic highlights why the Phase 6 installment will be incredibly exciting, as the 2026 movie will allow for various characters to work together, either for the first time or in a more extensive capacity. It will also be interesting to see what connections there will be between The Fantastic Four: First Steps and Avengers: Doomsday beyond Pascal and his co-stars being back for the team-up film. Hopefully, as Avengers: Doomsday gets further into filming, more glimpses of the Phase 6 film will start to emerge, and tease whether Joaquin and Reed have any moments together in the movie.
Captain America: Brave New World is available on DVD, Blu-ray, and Ultra HD Blu-ray.
