One of the newest additions tothe MCU timelinein 2025 will be the arrival of Reed Richards, a.k.a. Mister Fantastic, inThe 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’sAvengers: Doomsday.
However, fans ofThe Last of Usare getting a little reunion inAvengers: 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 forCaptain America: Brave New World’shome media release, the MCU star shared his excitement about working with Pascal again inAvengers: Doomsday, and under different circumstances this time around, followingThe Fantastic Four: First Stepsactor having his character, Joel Miller, killed off inThe Last of Usseason 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 uptheAvengers: Doomsdaycast,the two actors both being in the film will definitely be fun forThe Last of Usfans 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 afterThe Last of Usseason 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 inAvengers: Doomsdayremains 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 onThe Last of UsinAvengers: Doomsday, it will still be fun to see them in this context together as MCU heroes.

Ramirez’s excitement about co-starring inAvengers: Doomsdayalongside Pascal’s Mister Fantastichighlights 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.
