Oscar Isaac Wants Pedro Pascal in The SPIDER-VERSE as a “Cranky, Old Spider-Person”
We know we’ve got at least one more Spider-Verse movie coming with Spider-Man: Beyond The Spider-Verse, and Oscar Isaac wants Pedro Pascal to join the adventure! He even has a role in mind for him to play.
Isaac, who plays Miguel O’Hara, also known as Spider-Man 2099, recently talked to British GQ, and when he talked about Pascal joining the franchise, he shared what kind of character he’d like to see him play, saying: “Let’s find something for him. He should be a Spider-Person, like a cranky, old Spider-Person.”
Yep, that would definitely work for Pascal! With so many different Spider-Man characters running around in this franchise, Pascal could easily jump in and voice one. He just needs to be asked.
During the same interview, Isaac talked about voicing Miguel O’Hara and explained what he likes about the character, saying:
“He’s got this particular unique quality to him, but there are lots of things about him that I think are very surprising and make him such his own thing. The fangs and claws and this violence that’s simmering underneath at all times? He’s just a really interesting character.”
Spider-Man 2099 definitely made for a very interesting addition to the story, and I really like the story arc that is playing out for him. It’ll be cool to see how his story comes to a close.
Isaac also talked about his experience doing voice acting versus regular acting, saying:
“You only have your voice to be able to express a lot of what’s going on. There’s more collaboration involved because it’s your voice, it’s the animators, it’s the design, it’s all these things coming together to create the character,” Isaac explained. “There’s something beautifully communal about putting that together and just adding one element and then seeing it all come together. It’s just such a beautiful work of art.
“The art in this thing is so incredible, but specifically with Miguel. The way that he transforms visually and becomes more feral as things fall apart, I just thought, was so, so amazing.”
If you haven’t watched Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse yet, you need to watch it! The movie is so good! I’ve seen it twice already and I’m ready to watch it a third time!
