Miguel O'Hara, also known as Spider-Man 2099, voiced by Oscar Isaac in the much-anticipated sequel, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. O'Hara/Spider-Man 2099 is presented as the head of a Spider Society whose purpose is to uphold the law and safeguard the multiverse, specifically by stopping anomalies.

The sequel promises to expand the Spider-Verse in previously unseen ways by introducing a sizable number of new Spider-Men, including characters voiced by Daniel Kaluuya, Andy Samberg, Issa Rae, and Jake Johnson. Isaac's talk about the movie, in which he describes playing his character straight and the fun he has being unique, is also mentioned in the GQ interview with him.

Oscar Isaac recently discussed who he would like to see join the cast of the next Spider-Verse movie in an interview with British GQ. Although the casting staff is skilled at finding the perfect individual for each character, Isaac, who is also well-known for his role in Moon Knight by Marvel Studios, said he would recommend his pal Pedro Pascal for a role in the movie. Pascal, who is well-known for his recent work in The Last of Us, should portray a Spider-Person, preferably an irritable, elderly Spider-Person, according to Isaac.

After meeting in 2005 while working on a play together, Isaac and Pascal have been friends for a while. Even though they were paid little for their efforts in the off-Broadway production, their friendship became stronger over time. They even shared a scene in the 2019 movie Triple Frontier.

In an interview, Pascal praised their friendship and recalled a memorable moment. Isaac played a ghost in the play they collaborated on; the living characters in the plot couldn't see him. To the amusement of live audiences, Pascal took advantage of this and would try to make Isaac laugh or forget his lines throughout their performances. Pascal characterized the memory as both gloomy and joyful.

Because they are both children of Latino immigrants, the two actors have a lot in common. Pascal stated in an interview that their mutual love of acting and acquaintance with one another's cultures contributed to their close relationship.

O'Hara is portrayed in the movie as a solemn, humorless, and unsympathetic figure with a Spidey suit equipped with claws and spikes, in contrast to the other Spider-Men, who brings humor and lightheartedness to their roles (pointed out by Peter B. Parker).

This divergence from Spider-Man's traditional image is deliberate, as Isaac reveals in a GQ interview. He enjoys the fun of portraying a distinct type of Spider-Man and welcomes the novelty of playing the grumpiest Spider-Man in the universe.

Would you like to see Pedro Pascal joining Oscar Isaac once again? Which Spider-Man version would you cast them as? Let us know in the comments your thoughts!
