It was long rumored that somewhere down the line, it would be announced by Marvel Studios that Pedro Pascal would play the role of Reed Richards, a.k.a Mr. Fantastic, in the upcoming Fantastic Four reboot film. And sure enough, it was recently revealed that not only him but other members of the team have been chosen to bring the new iteration of these superheroes to life.
As the leader of the team of heroes in the upcoming film, it seems like the star has taken on the responsibility of gathering the cast members and making them interact with each other to get along better. By this, we refer to the recent revelations of Ebon Moss-Bachrach, who informed the public that Pascal took the initiative to create a group chat of the main cast and get them to socialize.
Ebon Moss-Bachrach Reveals Pedro Pascal Made The Group Chat For The Cast Of Fantastic Four
Just like the real Reed Richards from the comics bringing the superheroes together to create the superpowered team known as The Fantastic Four, Pedro Pascal has seemed to have taken it on himself to get the cast together and socialize with each other so that work going forward will be nothing but smooth sailing which was informed by his co-star Ebon Moss-Bachrach.
In a recent episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the host got to interview the No Hard Feelings star as he had recently been confirmed by Marvel Studios to play the role of The Thing in the upcoming Fantastic Four reboot. When talking about this role, Moss-Bachrach revealed how he was still left to meet actress Vanessa Kirby in person, who will be his co-star in the role of Invisible Woman in the aforementioned film, but he virtually knows her because of Pascal, He said:
“I have not met Vanessa, (but) there’s a group text. Pedro started a group text a couple of days ago”
Since he was the one who created the group chat for the main cast, he has already started to act like the leader in terms of helping people to know each other, and in the soon-coming future, work with each other as cohesively and practically as possible, just like a team of superheroes should.
The star also wasn’t shy to reveal that the chat was actually pretty lively as everyone was putting a lot of effort into profile pictures, stickers, and GIFs, which made the process all the more engaging and wholesome.
What To Expect From The Upcoming Fantastic Four?
From the official poster alone, many fans have guessed that maybe Fantastic Four will have a ’60s or ’70s theme for its narrative while it isn’t clear what the actual narrative will be.
Despite this, there are still a healthy number of speculations and rumors going around, one of which was that a variant of Kang named Rama-Tut will be the film’s main villain, which is now being claimed to be shifting to none other than Galactus himself. Thus, as more and more details of the project come to light, the sleuths among the fans will keep making these speculations more interesting.
Fantastic Four, in cinemas on 25th July 2025.
