Bella Ramsey, known for stealing scenes in both Game of Thrones and HBO’s hit series The Last of Us, is setting sights on the Marvel Cinematic Universe — and their dream role might surprise you. In a recent interview at the HBO Emmys nominees event, the rising star told Variety’s Marc Malkin that they would love to play Spider-Man in a future Marvel project.
Ready to Swing Into Action
When asked if they had reached out to co-star Pedro Pascal — who will soon make his Marvel debut as Reed Richards in The Fantastic Four: First Steps — about jumping into the MCU, Ramsey responded with a playful yet enthusiastic, “I don’t know about that. I could be Spider-Man.”
The Emmy-nominated actor then gave props to Tom Holland, who has portrayed Peter Parker since 2016’s Captain America: Civil War, saying, “Tom Holland did a great job though. So maybe they do need to make a new [superhero] for me.”
Just Getting Into Marvel
In a fun twist, Ramsey admitted they’ve only recently started exploring the world of Marvel movies — and it all began with one of Spider-Man’s alternate versions. “It was the first time I watched a Marvel film, and that was two months, three months ago,” Ramsey shared, revealing they started with one of Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man films. Their verdict? “Incredible. I loved it.”
Though late to the Marvel fan club, Ramsey clearly found inspiration in the web-slinger’s story — enough to spark ideas about joining the superhero universe themselves.
Dreaming of a Heist With Pascal
While they wait for a potential Marvel role, Ramsey already has a team-up idea with Pascal in mind. “I think maybe like a heist movie where we’re robbing a bank together,” they said, showing off their playful side and strong off-screen chemistry with their Last of Us co-star.
Ramsey and Pascal’s performances in The Last of Us have been critically acclaimed, and the show is currently nominated for 17 Emmys. Season 2 recently wrapped, and while Season 3 doesn’t have a release date yet, HBO CEO Casey Bloys confirmed that it is “definitely planned for 2027.”
What’s Next for Ramsey?
Whether it’s a Marvel superhero, a bank-robbing partner-in-crime, or a return to the infected world of The Last of Us, Bella Ramsey’s future in Hollywood looks brighter than ever. And while there’s no official word on a new Spider-Man yet, their excitement and imagination might just plant the seed for something unexpected in the MCU.
For now, fans can dream right along with Ramsey — and maybe keep an eye out for a new web-slinger in Marvel’s future.
