Pedro Pascal Cast as Mr.Fantastic in the MCU

Pedro Pascal has reportedly been cast in the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Fantastic Four film as Mister Fantastic. According to /Film, Pedro Pascal has been cast as Reed Richards in Marvel Studios' forthcoming Fantastic Four film. The deadline was the first to break the news.

Nearly a year after the first set of speculations linked Star Wars veteran Adam Driver to the next Fantastic Four film from director Matt Shakman, another actor from the franchise has been cast. According to Hollywood trades, Pedro Pascal is reportedly in final negotiations for the role, which will keep the Emmy-winning The Last of Us star in the MCU for the foreseeable future. Marvel has been contacted for comment by ComicBook.com. Since the characters from the Fantastic Four and X-Men franchises have been off-limits for most of the universe's history, the film is likely to be a crucial building block in the next stage of Marvel's decade-old shared world.
