Pedro Pascal made a grand appearance on the red carpet tonight for the highly-anticipated premiere of The Fantastic Four: First Steps in London. The 51-year-old actor, known for his roles in Game of Thrones and Narcos, seemed at ease as he stepped into his new role as a leading man in Hollywood and joined the superhero universe.
With his charming and laid-back demeanor, it's no surprise that Pascal is taking the world by storm. From breaking hearts in The Last of Us to promoting his latest film Eddington at Cannes, the actor has had a busy year. He even had a memorable moment at the Thunderbolts London premiere back in April, where he rocked a statement t-shirt that stole the show.
Despite his newfound fame, Pascal remains humble and down-to-earth. He sat down with Metro at the UK launch event for The Fantastic Four: First Steps and shared that he has no misconceptions about himself. "I don't know what the biggest misconception about me is," he mused. "I think I'm not aware of any misconceptions." When asked if there were any misconceptions, he joked, "Well, if they're all positive, then they're all right!"
Pascal also brushed off his recent title as Harper Bazaar's sixth hottest man of all time, playfully feigning outrage until he found out that James Dean took the number one spot. He joked, "Okay fine. If we're going that far back, then fine by me!"
At the premiere, Pascal was joined by his co-star Vanessa Kirby, who plays Sue Storm/The Invisible Woman. The two seemed to be in great spirits as they posed for photos and chatted with fans. Pascal also caught up with Joseph Quinn, who plays Ben Grimm/The Thing in the film. He shared that he had not heard from previous actors who portrayed the character, Michael Chiklis and Jamie Bell.
When it comes to his performance as Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic, Pascal revealed that he didn't draw inspiration from any specific performance. Instead, he relied on the dynamic between himself and his co-stars, which also include Ebon Moss-Bachrach. Director Matt Shakman, who previously worked on WandaVision, also shared that his experience on the show helped him prepare for the challenges of a feature-length MCU movie.
As for what fans can expect from The Fantastic Four: First Steps, Shakman teased a scene that he's particularly proud of, one that draws on his own experience as a parent. With the film still under wraps until its release, fans will have to wait and see what that scene is. The Fantastic Four: First Steps will hit UK cinemas on July 24th.
