by

In an upcoming Marvel Studios film titled “The Fantastic Four: First Steps,” Pedro Pascal will play the role of Reed Richards, more commonly known as Mr. Fantastic. Interestingly, the Narcos actor has recently disclosed some personal insights regarding his inspiration for this character. Furthermore, he shared what aspect of Reed Richards’ character particularly appeals to him.

In an engaging chat, the actor from The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, referred to as ComicBook, mentioned, “Though Reed’s physical form can elongate, he is essentially a character driven by intellect.

As a lifestyle expert, I can’t help but admire the intellect of Reed Richards more than anything else. To shed some light on this, let me share an analogy – I felt inspired by the intelligence of an octopus, not in a direct, tangible sense, but rather, I internalized it in my subconscious mind. This is one of the most significant character insights I’ve shared with you all.

Pedro Pascal elaborated on his preparation for playing Din Djarin in The Mandalorian, noting that the character’s physicality is a collaborative effort between himself, Brendan Wayne, and Latif Crowder. In simpler terms, he worked closely with these two individuals to develop Din Djarin’s physical attributes.

However, when it comes to playing Reed Richards, it was a brand-new kind of experience.

Expressing that he’s experiencing something new as this is his debut portraying a character based on a comic book, he finds himself feeling quite self-reliant.

The actor from The Last of Us mentioned, “His physical form might extend, but it’s his mental attributes that truly mattered to me, as we’re dealing with a character defined by his brain.

As a lifestyle expert, I recently had the pleasure of catching a glimpse into the latest trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps. In this sneak peek, we got a tantalizing taste of Pedro Pascal’s extraordinary elasticity and intellectual prowess. It appears that his scientific endeavors could potentially lure the cosmic entity Galactus towards our planet. Quite an exciting development, if you ask me!
