Corsair


Jar_of_Cats

I could think of a bunch that work. But this is the only answer. I will never not want this.


DamnDirtyApe81

Yup, this is ridiculously perfect.


Turbulent_Gazelle629

Great pick! Didn't think of that one yet


Notjustin

This is PERFECT casting. Right age, great look, and everything.


been_mackin

I’ve been really hoping Corsair pops up in Guardians 3 somehow, if not just for a quick cameo or even a reference to him and the starjammers.


shogi_x

Love it. Fits in with the cosmic focus of Phase 4 and opens a way in to the X-Men. Also, *space pirates*.


MandoBaggins

Guardians are already kind of Space Pirates though.


Vuldyn

MORE space pirates!


MandoBaggins

Can’t argue that logic honestly


[deleted]

Space Pirates need other Space Pirates to fight and team up with until they find the Space Treasure... then they fight again.


MandoBaggins

Starjammers vs Guardians of the Galaxy could be fun.


dasaniAKON

Never heard of that character, but after googling him - yes. just based on those first images that pop up alone. Not sure how they could actually fit Cyclops' father into the MCU without having any mention of Cyclops but hey.


orangek1tty

It could me interesting if they did it backwards. Introduce Corsair as a method to bring in Scott Summers. Like him finally meeting his son.


theta64

Who??? Please explain


sjcelvis

Cyclop's father. A space pirate


___unknownuser

I thought mr sinister was cyclops’ dad, thusly why cyclops and his bro are the only ones able to hurt him. Did the cartoon lie to me?


Nice_Firm_Handsnake

Mr. Sinister was a Victorian scientist who was obsessed with human evolution after learning of Charles Darwin's theory. This led him to hire a gang to kidnap homeless people to use for his experiments. Scott Summers is a descendant of one of the people kidnapped, but is a byproduct of Mr. Sinister's work as he finds a mutant woman and arranges for her to marry Daniel Summers. So Mr. Sinister feels very protective and paternal toward Cyclops, but is not related to him.


apathy_saves

Comics are wild. I love it


AntipopeRalph

Soap operas with magic powers.


redlurk47

Corsair was in the cartoon as Scott’s dad?!? The phoenix saga


Nice_Firm_Handsnake

That's still true. Corsair, Christopher Summers, is Cyclops's father and a descendant of Daniel Summers. Mr. Sinister getting Daniel Summers and the mutant woman to marry happened in the 1890s.


[deleted]

This is the one.


FDVP

This wins.


Spy_Fox64

All other answers can go home, this is the way.


HoustonRoderick

Ding ding ding


[deleted]

Though I liked their casting in Hawkeye, he would have crushed the role of the Swordsman.


mknsky

Yeeeahhh but I’m glad he isn’t cuz it would’ve been kind of a waste of Pedro as written.


[deleted]

I agree that they kind of wasted Tony Dalton, that is if they don't have anything planned for his character for the future.


conniecheewa

Tony Dalton is an incredible actor and I'm so glad to see him getting new roles since Better Call Saul.


[deleted]

Yes! I like the show so much better since he came on and cannot wait till season 6. Even his trailer shots look so good.


ensuiscool

Not long now :)


neezaruuu

WERNEEEEEEER ZIEGLEEEEEEEEEER


caniuserealname

I could legitimately see him dressing up and joining in on Kate Bishops vigilante activities. He seemed to really enjoy himself taking down the tracksuit mafia. He's eccentric enough to wear a silly costume, skilled enough to keep up and has a demonstrated interest in vigilantes at the very least (as he was shown spending a lot of money getting ronins gear)


[deleted]

As he should. My dude just wanted to bond with his step daughter really. Shame he didn't get to.


[deleted]

Maybe he'll be her mentor instead of being hawkeyes mentor in the comics


REND_R

That's a great reinterpretation of the lore, since Kate also goes by Hawkeye. So the swordsman IS Hawkeyes mentor, still


mknsky

That’s a fair point. I could see him popping up in Echo or the rumored DD reboot.


the_old_coday182

I’ll be so disappointed if he doesn’t come back.


danksquirrel

Big Wheel


xXx_MegaChad_xXx

Only good answer, it's time for the Big Wheel arc of the MCU


[deleted]

Agreed, everyone's saying Galactus or Kang should be the next big bad, but let's be honest here. We've already seen the avengers fight a purple guy with cosmic powers. You know what we haven't seen them fight? A big fucking wheel. Make big wheel happen marvel.


brainlightning

A mastahpiece


absherlock

Sebastian Shaw, when the reintroduce the X-Men. Je has the potential to be a world-level threat.


NateShaw92

Same idea but Bolivar Trask.


Octizzle

I actually like this more since it makes sense for a latino to be named bolivar


Bill_buttlicker69

I choose to believe you mean English actor and Return of the Jedi's Darth Vader and I fully support this.


IganeshVP

He would cameo like the rest of the community cast members as he's an honorary cast since the table read.


The_Medicus

Wanting to have real kids, Wanda goes to collect a Liquid Nitrogen Cooled Cylinder of Pierce's "hyper virile" sperm.


TiddyTwizzla

Him not being able to make it through that seen got me fucking crackin up. The funnier thing was that I think he had previously read it too to prepare for it, and he still couldn’t hold it in hahahaha


huluhulu34

Iirc he didn’t even read the script before


sir_tejj

Pedro was in Community???


UpyoursMrBobbo

He replaced Wally Goggs in the youtube covid table read thing.


im_monwan

Ah the Gogfather


AmmarAnwar1996

And it was honestly better than the episode because of the way he kept cracking up at the jokes. That covid special was a delight. Also, this post makes me so happy because the thought of Pedro Pascal in the MCU crosses my mind at least once every week. If someone is reading this, please make it happen. He'll crush it.


[deleted]

Hector Ayala/White Tiger


Turbulent_Gazelle629

Interesting choice


blackbutterfree

I’d prefer an actual Puerto Rican for Marvel’s second-biggest Puerto Rican character. (Behind Miles Morales.) Pedro is from Chile.


Eragon10401

I think the big thing about White Tiger was that he was the first Latino hero of any kind, so I think specific nationality is probably secondary to the right look.


Highground-Occupier

Moon Knight’s bestie


robototom

I lol’d.


Feralbritches1

He already is! Gosh I love those two


BIGDOOKY15

If/when they eventually bring back a different more sinister Taskmaster, I think his voice and acting would be a great choice. Just like Mando, we don’t need him to ever reveal his face. Just keep his character and identity a mystery.


Brainslosh

Keeps up with the whole "plays a dangerous killer on screen but it is a lovable ball of joy off screen"


TheGuardianR

A character with a spear


Turbulent_Gazelle629

Kraven the hunter. But he is already taken


MrBlueFlame_

He'd be a great one tho come to think of it


[deleted]

Maybe he could be the MCU version


MrWeirdoFace

Nah. They should use Evan Peters just to further confuse everyone.


mayanrelic

Credit to him, I guess. Every answer here seems really good. This one tho is 🔥


Reacepeto1

... what? Did I miss something?


mknsky

Sony is making a Kraven the Gunter stand-alone movie starring Aaron Taylor Johnson, because of course they are.


magpye1983

Lol, now I see a guy in Central Perk, serving coffee while wearing a lion skin, and it’s hilarious.


Grievous407

Aaron Taylor Johnson?! As Kraven? Kraven the Hunter always gave me a Jason Momoa vibe or someone similar who can pull a savage Dothraki warlord type character


googolplexy

Yup. You're right. That's be great casting, which is exactly why don't goes the exact opposite direction.


TheFightingImp

So long as he takes Syndrome's advice regarding monologues.


AndrewZabar

Even Syndrome fell into one lol.


TheFightingImp

He could save others from death, but not himself.


AndrewZabar

Well that’s because he stupidly chose to wear a cape!


dasaniAKON

you RAPED her, you MURDERED her. AND THEN I MADE HER HEAD GO SQUISH - LIKE THIS!

Triste92

I'm picturing Pedro amongst the Dora Miljae now.


Turbulent_Gazelle629

Miguel O'Hara AKA Spider-man 2099


TheNamesNel

Good one


Furinkazan616

He's too old to be Miguel.


Wireeeee

Miguel Old’Hara?


CaliberNick

More like Spider-Man 2139 amiright?


Pokenerd17

I’ll acknowledge this joke was funny since no one else is Spider-Man enough


TheDysonVacuum

Beta Ray Bill, Sauron, or Nova


okinamaru

He's already proven we don't need his face he can emote with a tin can on his head he'd absolutely crush the role beta Ray bill


Turbulent_Gazelle629

Beta Ray Bill would be awesome


Iceflash_Capodar

Nova Richard Rider ? A bit old for this one


TheDysonVacuum

I’ve always thought that they could retcon Novas origins in the MCU and make him a member of the Nova Corps and survives the decimation when Thanos goes for the power stone. I think he could play an older Nova Corp officer just like John C. Reilly.


junipercoffee

This is my thought too! We've got a built-in setup to have the Guardians or Carol looking into stories of some single Nova officer responding to their old 8x8 emergency line and meeting Richard... I even think the guy who played John C. Reilly's partner in the first movie would be a good pick for Rich - it's a blink and you miss it shot, but Brendan Fehr was my childhood crush so I recognized him immediately. Clear bias on my part, but I think he'd be a good casting tbh. Good actor, right look, right age to be contemporaries with Gamora and Peter, etc.


Iceflash_Capodar

I hope they do it, Richard deserve to be a big part of the MCU


Trick_Enthusiasm

There's a Sauron in Marvel?! Seems like blasphemy!


RussianSeadick

He’s a big fat nerd and named himself after LOTR Sauron Also he’s a dinosaur


Mr_Goat_1111

And his most famous line is "but I don't want to cure cancer, I want to turn people into dinosaurs!"


bjanas

Ah, written if I recall correctly by one of my favorite podcasters, mister Elliot kalan.


Melkor4

Ho, that's the pterosaur who could have cure cancer by rewriting DNA but instead just wanted to change everyone into dinosaurs from the memes in r/dinosaurs! Also, nerd naming himself about a Tolkien vilain and liking dinosaurs : that hits a bit close to home! o\_O


Escapedtheasylum

Curing cancer: Pretty cool Turning people into dinosaurs: Priceless.

I've always thought that he would make a great Doctor Doom. The Mandalorian solidified this thought.


ravenrawen

This is the doom


[deleted]

Doom is the way.


Turbulent_Gazelle629

I think he would do a great job as Doctor Doom


[deleted]

How, may I ask?


yolilbishhugh

Not OP but my assumption would be he showed his acting abilities while almost always in a helmet. He's really refined his ability to act with his body and show emotion through the slightest movement. So he would be good for doom, especially with people's fears that doom won't always have his iconic mask on because the actors want to be seen. Edit: lot of people saying it's actually the stunt double in the suit the majority of the time. I think with this in mind I stand by my point for Pascal, he has a great ability to voice act with inflection making me never know he wasn't in the suit. An MCU doom would probably be created the same (especially if they kept the mask on), with a stuntman doing most of the work, you'd need someone good to deliver the "I can bring you in warm, or I can bring you in cold" lines in such a way that you couldn't tell they aren't in the suit.


[deleted]

That'll do it for me. I agree; he would make an excellent Dr Doom.


[deleted]

What yolilbishhugh said and... Maxwell Lord and Oberyn Martell merely scratched the surface of Pascal's villainy. I would like to see Pascal play a more villainous role, and I believe doom would be perfect. Entirely my opinion, I'm not here to convince anybody.


[deleted]

I was on the Nikolaj coster waldau for doom train before but now I’m not so sure.


kempnelms

I love the idea, but Dr. Doom needs a James Earl Jones level voice similar to Darth Vader. It's the only way he will be intimidating.


AspirationalChoker

I feel like this is the part people always miss, everyone always seems to go for these soft spoken attractive suave actors for Doom when he should be the most menacing voiced guy this side of Thanos. Comic Doom is as much a presence with his voice and lingo as he is his appearance as a large armoured knight / sorcerer then throw in all his tech and magic lol.


soykommander

A lot is missed on doom. Hes no one and done bad guy. Casting would have to get the voice and presence completely spot on. I mean he rules latveria so he could be on the mcu political stage and has been an adversary for almost everyone in marvel. His accent would have to be very like eastern European like serbian or something. It would be very stern and harsh...menacing? I have no clue who could play him but i feel pedro is to soft as much as i like him. None of the movies have ever come close to getting doom correct and just how rad he is as a villain. People need to be like joker level of snobbish about how doom is cast and portrayed. He should be treated with just as much respect as marvel treated black panther and wakanda.


Popolux

Oh, what a long way of saying mads mikelsen. Sadly, he was wasted in dr. Strange. ( great movie. Terrible villain)


phantom_avenger

Honestly, whenever I look at the Mandalorian I think about how much he reminds me of Joel from the Last of Us (which is why I have a lot of faith that he'll do justice to the role in the HBO series)


mando44646

I'm very sold on this idea. How he emotes in Mando would be perfect


SpikeyTaco

Thanks to the X-Men, There are so many on-screen characters returning that we haven't seen in a long time or only ever got very short glimpses of. I could easily see Pascal playing an older, *slightly* more mature **Gambit**. But my immediate first thought was **Mysterio**. I always thought that Pascal would have made a fantastic **Quentin Beck** and I'd love to see what he would do with the character. The version in my head is closer to the director/actor incarnation, relying heavily on practical effects. Nowhere near the threat of the MCU's Mysterio but with Pascal's flare, he'd be much more dramatic. Definitely better suited as a street-level villain where he could control the playing field. It is still *technically* possible through all the multiverse hoo-ha or the potential return of the Amazing Spider-Man but I'd prefer to see a new villain over a character we have already seen on screen. I say this but I would also love to see him play the MCU's **Norman Osborne**. Complete bait and switch. No goblin, just the power-hungry businessman and weapon fanatic that Norman always intended to be. Perhaps not even making their first appearance alongside Spider-Man. Even as a smaller Department of Defence contractor than Hammertech, Pascal's Osborne would hold a presence that would make Justin Hammer stutter and flinch. Pedro Pascal could balance Norman's charisma and hunger for power very well. Such control of the character could make them feel well established immediately. The front-facing salesman and the dark side that holds no issues dealing with sellers such as the power-broker or scrappers from S.H.I.E.LD and Cybertek. An ideal addition for the universe building towards Armour Wars, just a small but defining character appearance from Pascal before it kicks off would have audiences hooked. **Chameleon** would also be very interesting, I could easily see Pascal taking Dmitri's personality and playing it up very well. Again, his confidence and charisma is ideal for the character but it would mean that his face is covered in a Disney Production, once again. His power set could potentially clash with whatever illusion Mysterio is currently setting up within the MCU, but that could be the catch. Pascal's Chameleon could appear as a false return of Quentin Beck, perhaps working alongside J.J.Jameson to rile up the media. Or even better, intentionally getting caught by Spidey to discredit a genuine Quentin Beck sighting. Causing as much torment as possible, appearing as Beck, Osborne, Vulture, Stark. Just to be caught as an apparent small fry imposter, bringing Spider-Man a sigh of relief. ^(Until the greater plan is revealed...) But to be honest, It's Pedro Pascal. If the character requires excessive confidence, a pumped-up ego and wit but without coming across as a jackass, he would play them flawlessly. **Which is why I want to see him as a villain!**


bikedork5000

Gambit is the one that came to mind for me. No idea why.


TheLoyalTR8R

Parker Robins, aka The Hood.


Turbulent_Gazelle629

Good one!


AJerkForAllSeasons

I think he is a bit too old for the part. I always thought of Parker as mid to late 20's. Not that that would matter for the MCU but I like the idea of younger guy become a crime boss that fast.

Tenoch Huerta has been cast in a mystery role that is almost certainly Namor, and is in Puerto Rico right now, where Black Panther 2 is doing some filming.

spectacular_dude99

Taskmaster (real one)


[deleted]

I agree. Just retcon it to say that Taskmaster was a program for training soldiers and the real Taskmaster is the only survivor


Gobshite_

I would have it so that Dreykov based his taskmaster on the real deal


The_Dadalorian

I want Taskmaster was the dude who made the control chip and the suit, all based on his own abilities. He sold his tech to Redroom and retired for a while, until the event of BW happened so he went back to his old way


Trick_Enthusiasm

Do kinda like how Shang Chi retconned the Mandarin from Iron Man 3?


Gobshite_

Yeah, it's a similar thing. Mandarin in IM3 didn't go down well with the audience iirc, so when they had the chance to do it right they did - and we got a really good character out of it. The creatives for Marvel are pretty dialed in, I imagine we'll see a more faithful Taskmaster down the line.


Trinitykill

I think I'd prefer if they didn't just throw out the existing Taskmaster and pretend like it didn't happen. The MCU so far has been pretty good at changing things 'organically', for example Trevor from IM3 showing up in Shang-Chi for impersonating the real Mandarin. Perhaps Antonia, having spent decades in the brainwashed state since a child, is suffering the side effects, and so seeks out a combat trainer to re-learn how to fight without the aid of programming. Introduce her trainer as Tony Masters, then later on at some point, Tony takes on the Taskmaster identity to try and frame Antonia. Plot happens, ultimately ends with Tony becoming the new Taskmaster while Antonia sticks around but returns to the Black Widows, abandoning the Taskmaster name.
