Pedro Pascal is the internet’s current obsession, and no one’s complaining. He added another feather to his hat by bagging the role of Reed Richards in the Fantastic Four reboot. The cast was announced a few days ago, and the actor has finally opened up about landing the part. The actor recently won the Screen Actors Guild Award for his performance in The Last of Us.
Besides Pedro, other actors who have been roped in for the upcoming MCU flick are Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm, aka Invisible Woman; Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm, aka The Thing, and Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm, aka Human Torch. The film has yet to announce the main villain and the actor playing it. There have been rumors that the Silver Surfer might appear in this movie.
Pedro Pascal opened up about joining the multi-million dollar Marvel Studios as Mr Fantastic. During the SAG Awards 2024, he spoke about it with ET. The actor rose to fame with Game of Thrones, and things started unraveling for him. Speaking about Fantastic Four, the actor said, “I can tell you how excited I am, which is beyond! There isn’t anything more exciting than being in a cast like that: Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Joseph Quinn, and our director, Matt Shakman. To be invited to a family like that is unbelievable, and we all just want to do our best and share it with the world.”
