According to Fantastic Four director Matt Shakman’s confirmation, it seems that Pedro Pascal might be taking on the role of the new head of the Avengers in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
In addition to showcasing The Thunderbolts, the film also assembles a new group of Avengers. Furthermore, keep in mind that the post-credits scene hints at Doomsday, a possibility that Marvel’s Kevin Feige has suggested might not be as straightforward as it appears.
Reed Richards the Next Avengers Leader
During the promotion of the FF film, Shakman explained to Variety that casting Reed was the most difficult role to fill.
Shakman notes, ‘Our character transitions from a secluded scientist, engrossed in his lab work, to a devoted husband and protective father, to a leader of the Avengers. I understood that our portrayal needed to encompass each one of these aspects.’
In the Fantastic Four movie, it’s unclear if Reed will lead the Avengers or if Vanessa Kirby takes over, since Sue Storm has been confirmed as the leader there.
We’ll find out more next week when The Fantastic Four: First Steps gets released.
Speaking about “Avengers: Doomsday”, it has been filmed, along with Pedro Pascal and the entire Fantastic Four cast, in the United Kingdom.
