I say we send him a DNA test.
Spoilers Marvel Cinematic Universe spoiler-heavy speculation thread

I'm sure he'll get right back to us.....with a restraining order.
I thought "Hyperion" was essentially Superman? Some even suggested Henry Cavill after he was booted out of the DC Universe.
That's all he ever sends me.
There are multiple versions in the Marvel Universe - Gladiator is another.
Marvel has a lot of "Supermans"
I wouldn't say "nebbishy," and I don't see the Clark Kent comparison. Burton and Keaton's version of Bruce Wayne is more of a neurodivergent, socially inept, sheltered eccentric absorbed by his strange obsessions, much like a lot of Tim Burton protagonists.
Technically Gladiator is a Superboy analogue, since the Shi'ar Imperial Guard is modeled on the Legion of Super Heroes.
There are white hispanics and non-white Hispanics. Based on a Pedro’s lineage he’s the former.
Which “high profile”projects is he getting as a leading man that aren’t streaming or cable series?
More to the point, some of the best casting decision Marvel made were relative unknowns or TV actors.
Which is probably why a lot of high schoolers, like me, identified with him when the movie was released.
I've been to high school reunions and it's somewhat surprising how many of my classmates felt out of place, even though, outwardly, we were participating in clubs and sports and going to dances, etc.
I personally fit that type pretty well, but I certainly didn't identify with him.
Mads Mikkelsen is in the running to play Doctor Doom.

Much like Ricardo Montalbán, who's parents immigrated to Mexico from Spain before he was born.
Hunh. So Doctor Doom and Grand Admiral Thrawn could be brothers.
Exactly. That's why he was in brownface as Khan in TOS
Gladiator 2, and despite being a streaming series HBO's The Last Of Us was a high profile and very successful gig.
He's a buzzworthy lead actor. Mount is not. And even guys like Hemsworth were ones that studios wanted to mold into a leading man and saw potential in.
There is an upcoming Sentry comic series, in which the powers of the original character are to be put up for grabs by a new set of claimants.
So it's possible that the MCU version of Sentry might be inspired by one or more of those new characters - or, indeed, might see them as a precedent for creating an entirely new Sentry of their own.

Speaking of Hyperion-alikes, there is also Taegukgi, whose Earth-616 origin story was covered in the Tiger Division limited comic series. (Although on that Earth, the South Koreans think of Hyperion as a Taegukgi-alike...)
I'm still hoping that we might see the likes of the Tiger Division, add/or the (new) Agents of ATLAS, in live action - to include adding Cindy Moon to the latter team, should the ongoing agreement between Sony and Disney allow this (or could be adjusted to do so).
