Pedro Pascal shouldn’t be cast in the Fantastic Four film, and these reactions explain why

There are other actors in Hollywood you know?

6 months ago

Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely adore Pedro Pascal and the man can do no wrong in my eyes. But there are rumours that he’s set to play Reed Richards aka Mr Fantastic in the new Fantastic Four film. And everyone seems to have an opinion, with people on Twitter saying that whilst they love Pedro as an actor, they don’t feel like he’s the right choice to play Mr Fantastic.

Some think he’s only being cast to try and get other high-profile actors to sign onto the project, whilst others feel like there are plenty of other talented actors who would have been better suited to the role. So here are 16 reactions that explain why, as much as love him, Pedro Pascal shouldn’t be cast in the upcoming Fantastic Four film.

1. Very valid

I can not see Pedro Pascal playing a character like this and that’s my biggest issue with the new casting https://t.co/l6YL8TwQvu

2. I’m with you Craig

Love Pedro Pascal but oh my god he just does not fit Reed Richards at all IMO. https://t.co/X4h1BkH3FQ

3. He’s just too nice

Pedro Pascal would be an awful Reed Richards, I’m sorry but he can’t pull off the very specific brand of severe autism that borders on emotional abuse to others that is REQUIRED for Reed

4. He is a man of many talents but I don’t know if the MCU is his calling

6. He was literally right there

7. For those who don’t know who this is he played Superman one time

Look I ain’t got nothing against Pedro Pascal potential being Mr Fantastic in the MCU but I rather had Brandon Routh as Mr Fantastic

10. He looks so much like him too

Im sure pedro pascal will do the role justice but still he doesnt strike me as reed richards. John krasinski was literally made for reed richards pic.twitter.com/tNbJMFIRVq

12. It just feels weird him being in the MCU

Pedro Pascal is way too A-list to play Reed Richards….does Kevin not understand what they are casting?

13. They honestly could have just recast him

The MCU had one job, with all due respect to Pedro Pascal but cmon https://t.co/UPrbT9C4kZ

15. Maybe he’ll surprise us all

I love Pedro Pascal, I just don’t see him as Reed.

I will always be open to getting proven wrong tho.
