Pedro Pascal made a dynamic entrance into the Marvel Cinematic Universe with “The Fantastic Four: First Steps.” In this latest Marvel production, the talented actor takes on the character of Reed Richards, embarking on a mission to protect the world from the malevolent threat of Galactus.
In the forthcoming Avengers: Doomsday, it’s expected that the movie star will once again take on the character of Mr. Fantastic. There have been whispers suggesting that this character may serve as the leader of the superheroes within the film.
In response to the rumors, the actor, during a recent chat, disclosed that this information came as a surprise to him as well. Furthermore, Pascal explains that the misconception stemmed from an interview given by director Matt Shakman, which may have been misunderstood.
The filmmaker stated that casting Reed proved most challenging as the character transitions from a secluded, scientific genius, through to a devoted spouse and protector of his family, and ultimately, the leader of the Avengers team.
Pedro Pascal reacts to the rumors of Reed Richards leading the Avengers
During an interview with the Associated Press, the actor from “The Last of Us” expressed that Shakman’s statement seemed to be somewhat misleading. He added, “That’s quite a revelation for me.
He added, “It seems Matt Shakman mentioned during an interview that in the comics, Reed is drawn towards the Avengers family and is offered a leadership role, somewhat like being magnetically pulled in.
In simpler terms, the actor emphasized that the plot fits well with his character, but it doesn’t necessarily imply that he will portray those actions in the movie.
In another part of our discussion, the actor disclosed, “What I’m saying is truthful, and I’m not intentionally avoiding spoilers. There may be a hint of deception involved.
