Pedro Pascal faces Fantastic Four Casting Backlash Fans of Marvel

Pedro Pascal is experiencing one or two about the navigation of major fandoms. He is a must in the “Star Wars” universe for playing the Mandalorian, and he is a nominated at Emmy for having assumed the role of Joel in the HBO adaptation of video games “Last of Us”. But as part of his recent cover story of Vanity Fair, Pascal revealed that she was thrown into the Marvel cinematographic universe which made her the most conflicts.

“I am more aware of dissatisfaction around my casting than everything I have ever done,” Pascal said about playing Reed Richards / MR. Fantastic in “The Fantastic Four: The First Steps”, arriving in theaters next month. Pascal said the regular complaints he hears are: “He’s too old. He is not right. He must shave. ”

Pascal is headlining “Fantastic Four” alongside Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm, Joseph Quinn in the role of Johnny Storm and Ebon Moss-Bachrach like Ben Grimm. The four actors are already confirmed to return to Marvel in “Avengers: Doomsday” of 2026, so Marvel Studios clearly hopes that “First Steps” will make a big brand among the cinema of comics.

Kirby told Vanity Fair that Pascal’s immense vulnerability “was what had linked them to the set, adding:” He does not have much armor, so he shows himself right away, and you trust this person because he turns out to you in this very courageous way. “

“Fantastic Four” is Marvel’s third tomingol of the following year “Captain America: Brave New World”, which was castigated by film critics and sub-work at the box office, and “Thunderbolts *”, which launched the season of summer films in early May and won some of the best criticisms for a Marvel film. However, “Thunderbolts” should still lose north of $ 50 million in theaters.

Quinn told Entertainment Weekly last year that he was not worried about the fatigue of superheroes which has an impact on “Fantastic Four”, saying: “There are aspects that are very different from other Marvel films. It seemed very convincing to me. And again, to come back to who is involved, Matt [Shakman]Of course, the director, I think it’s brilliant, and the casting, and I read it, and the script is brilliant. It’s really great. I am delighted to have this opportunity.

“Fantastic Four: First Steps” opens in theaters on July 25.
