Bella Ramsey speaks on potential MCU role and it’s obvious who they should play
Pedro Pascal recently made his MCU debut as Reed Richards inThe Fantastic Four: First Steps, and now his Last of Us co-star Bella Ramsey has spoken about joining, saying they “could be Spider-Man” – but there’s another superhero they should play instead.
Let’s not get it twisted, Ramsey’s comment was tongue-in-cheek. They were asked byVarietywhether they’d spoken to Pascal about a role in a futureMarvelmovie, to which Ramsey replied, “I don’t know about that.”
However, Ramsey added, “I could be Spider-Man. Tom Holland did a great job though. So maybe they do need to make a new [superhero] for me.” As many of you will know, Holland is currently filming scenes forSpider-Man: Brand New Day.
Even though we’ve got our Peter Parker, a report last month suggested thatThe Last of Usactor is being “eyed” for anupcoming MCU project– and there’s one superhero they’d be perfect for.
Bella Ramsey MCU role could be Squirrel Girl
While there are plenty of rumorsRamsey should play Kitty Pryde, another name has been put forward: Doreen Green, aka Squirrel Girl.
First introduced in Marvel Super-Heroes Vol. 2 #8 back in 1991, Squirrel Girl is one of Marvel’s most unconventional but beloved heroes. She has the ability to (you guessed it) communicate with squirrels, as well as having enhanced agility and strength.
Don’t let her comical powers fool you – she’s helped to defeat villains likeDoctor Doom, Thanos (or at least his clone), and Galactus (although the latter involved brains over brawn). She’s also teamed up with the Avengers, Luke Cage, Iron Man, and evenSpider-Man.

Squirrel Girl has the potential to be to the new Avengers what Rocket was to the Guardians of the Galaxy. Think about it: when James Gunn first introduced Rocket, the idea of a talking raccoon with a blaster sounded absurd, but he soon became a fan favorite.
Plus, Ramsey would be a natural fit for the role. They’ve already proven in The Last of Us that they can balance humor, emotional vulnerability, and strength, which is exactly what makes Squirrel Girl so endearing.
Plenty of fans agree, with one writing onReddit, “Squirrel Girl, calling it now.” Anothersaidon X/Twitter, “Bella Ramsey is actually perfect for the role of Squirrel Girl.”
A thirdadded, “Can Marvel hire Bella Ramsey to play Squirrel Girl and piss everyone off? I would honestly love to see it.”
