The winged, divine horse Pegasus has been a prominent figure in modern popular culture.
A Pegasus is used in the 1932 Oswald the Lucky Rabbit cartoon The Winged Horse .
Pegasus has appeared in several films, including the animated films Fantasia , Hercules , and Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus along with the stop motion film Clash of the Titans , its remake Clash of the Titans and, as a name only, in Johnny English and its sequels Johnny English Reborn and Johnny English Strikes Again .
In Disney's Fantasia , Pegasi are featured during the visualized "Pastoral Symphony" segment, along with other mythical creatures including unicorns and centaurs and in Hercules he is the winged horse sidekick and friend to Hercules, the main character. In Clash of the Titans, Pegasus is captured by Perseus before Perseus visits and kills Medusa the Gorgon. This version, changes the method of Pegasus' birth - although no further details are given, save a comment from Zeus that Pegasus is the sole surviving winged horse from a herd of the creatures, the rest killed by Thetis' son, Calibos. In Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus, Pegasus is the winged horse who helps Princess Annika.. In the film Johnny English, starring Rowan Atkinson, Pegasus, played by Tim Pigott-Smith, is the codename of the head of MI7; in the sequel, Johnny English Reborn, the head of the organisation is now a woman, played by Gillian Anderson, who also uses the codename Pegasus (possibly in a nod to the James Bond film series, in which M was traditionally played by a man but was then played by Judi Dench). A pegasus can be seen on the TriStar logo. A pegasus can also be seen on the Metropolitan Filmexport logo.
Pegasus (or possibly more than one) has appeared in three Marvel Cinematic Universe films. During a flashback sequence in Thor: Ragnarok , Valkyrie is briefly seen riding one. In Avengers: Endgame , she rides one again in the final battle against Thanos. In Thor: Love and Thunder , Pegasus also appears once again. It is not clear whether this is the same individual horse seen in the earlier film.
Pegasus is also the name of a secret military project in the MCU. The project was a cover story for a faster-than-light drive built using Kree technology. The ship crashes, and Carol Danvers destroys the engine to prevent the Skrulls from salvaging it. Unknown to Carol, the Pegasus engine was powered by the Tessaract. She absorbed the energy of the explosion and gained superpowers from it, eventually becoming Captain Marvel.
A Pegasus is seen in Jumanji The Next Level as a flying horse avatar named Cyclone.
