The Hero We Want and Deserve!
Marvel Studios has consistently demonstrated an unparalleled ability to handpick talented individuals who embody the essence of their comic book counterparts. Pedro Pascal is one of the most beloved actors of today, and he would surely bring a new audience into theatres for this film.
Reed Richards, also known as Mr. Fantastic, is a beloved character from the Marvel Comics universe. As the leader of the Fantastic Four and possessing the power of extreme elasticity, Richards is an integral part of the superhero team’s dynamic. If the negotiations are successful, Pedro Pascal’s casting will not only introduce a fresh perspective to the character but also pave the way for exciting storytelling possibilities.
