Best Friends in the MCU: Danny Ramirez and Lewis Pullman’s Marvel Journey
If you thought the excitement around Top Gun: Maverick ended when the credits rolled, think again! Fans are buzzing over the next chapter for our favorite “Daggers.” Among them, Danny Ramirez is soaring high with his new role in Captain America: Brave New World—and he’s not flying solo.
Squad Goals: Together in the MCU
Ramirez is set to join forces once more with his Maverick bestie, Lewis Pullman. It turns out that Marvel had a clever plan when they seated Ramirez and Pullman next to each other at the Brave New World cast reveal. “I mean, I thought it was just a happy accident,” remarked Ramirez, but Marvel confirmed they were well aware of their deep friendship, adding an extra layer of thrill for fans.
With Ramirez proclaiming Pullman as his “best friend,” you can feel the camaraderie radiating through their shared experiences in Hollywood. When asked if he’d ever imagined embarking on this MCU adventure alongside Pullman, Ramirez chuckled, “To predict this is insanity… you’d have to lock me up!”
A Nostalgic Journey
Reflecting on their journey from roommates to superheroes, Ramirez shared delightful insights about their friendship, which includes heartfelt memories and group chats that remain lively. He fondly recalled dinners where they strategized about their careers before Pullman became a major star. “We’re doing pretty good, guys!" he exclaimed, a reminder of their collective growth as actors navigating the competitive industry.
But it’s not all about the big screen; their bond truly shines through moments of genuine connection. “Our montage of photos together through the years is beautiful,” Ramirez said, evoking a nostalgia that resonates with fans who have followed their story.
Fanboy Meets Falcon
As Mickey “Fanboy” Garcia in Top Gun: Maverick, Ramirez created a character who embraced his nerdy passions. So, how would Fanboy feel about Ramirez’s role as Joaquin Torres in the MCU? “Fanboy would absolutely go crazy,” he declared, picturing how thrilled his character would be to see a Latino hero flying into action.
Both Fanboy and Torres, while different, represent youthful aspirations within their respective teams. Ramirez mused about how they both start as the "young bucks" striving to carve their paths. “In the world of Maverick, you’re facing a singular mission. In the MCU? You’ve got aliens and world-ending threats,” he noted, pointing out the contrast in stakes between the two universes.
Looking Ahead
As for what the future holds, Ramirez is optimistic. If Top Gun 3 happens, he hopes to see more growth for Fanboy, paralleling his journey as a character in the MCU. “There’s a set foundation for where they start and where they can go,” he teased, leaving us all eager for more.
You can catch Danny Ramirez in Captain America: Brave New World, now streaming on Disney+. And who knows? The next time we see him and Pullman, it may just be another epic chapter in their friendship—and our favorite cinematic universe!
