Pedro Pascal is teasing The Fantastic Four: First Steps, in which he plays the role of Reed Richards, Mister Fantastic. Although the Marvel superhero has elastic abilities, it’s his intellect that Pascal is focused on in playing the character.

Pedro Pascal is finally stepping into the Marvel Cinematic Universe with a surprising twist. He will not just be the brilliant and stretchy Reed Richards, but also a man of science, depth, and intellect.
