Why Pedro is actually very well cast as Reed
The casting of Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards has caused tons of controversy. The prevailing theory seems to be that Marvel only cast him because of his rising popularity and not because he's the right fit for the role, but I actually think it was a brilliant decision.
The criteria for casting Reed was bigger and more complicated than probably any other character they've ever cast before. They needed to find an actor who...
- Is a big enough name to draw attention (the Valentine's Day announcement would have meant nothing if it was just a random unknown actor)
- Has tons of charisma with those around them
- Can easily fit into the 1960s setting
- Can easily fit into a modern setting
- Has enough range to play the different sides of Reed (obsessive scientist, loving family man, iconic superhero)
- Is old enough to convincingly play an aging scientist/father but also be young enough to carry a franchise for 10-15 years
- Is no stranger to big franchises but also isn't too busy that they can't keep showing up for more movies
When you look at the criteria, casting Pedro Pascal suddenly makes a ton of sense. Unlike the silly fancastings that only ever focus on superficial elements, the studio has to take it ALL into consideration. They can't just cast a random, unknown actor who looks like Reed from that one comic panel. They need to make sure the actor they hire ticks all the boxes, and I believe Pedro does that.
Discussion
Pedro is hated because he's popular and popular because he's beloved.
Strange situation with him.
Personally, I love him.
Every famous person has haters. The more the fans, the more haters.
They hate us because they... anus?
They hate us cause they Thanus.
That one Ant-Man victory scenario Dr. Strange chose to ignore...
Wrecked ‘em.
Rectum? Damn near killed 'em.
Wrecked they're rectums?
THEY HATE US BECAUSE THEY AINT US!!!
The fuck does anus have to do with any of this?
Everyone has one
Yeah. I have zero haters amongst film fans. But that’s because I’m an accountant who’s never acted in a single movie.
He also just seems to be a genuinely kind & authentic person, and carries the level of confidence that comes with that. That pisses off anonymous internet trolls who wish they felt the same way about themselves.
He’s not even really hated. This is just Reddit doing its thing, just like they did with Jennifer Lawrence, Chris Pratt, Ryan Reynolds, and a host of other celebrities that exploded in popularity. The man is a good actor with a ton of range, works his ass off, and is getting his bag. Respect.
Oh Pedro surely is a beloved actor. But he is also proportionally overhated as a result of right wing social media outlets doing their thing. The youtube algorithm is a hate fueling motor that attacks any actor who openly advocates for immigrant rights and supports queerness. His current exposure makes him an easy target.
Okay but Chris Pratt was shoe-horned by Hollywood into every single project ever regardless of whether he was right for the role or not.
The hate is misdirected, but appropriate.
Part of Pratt's hatred also came about because of his religious views and his church's support of anti-LGBTQ policies and organizations.
Yeah I don't get the hate, most people wanna hate him because they're bigots towards his opinions and because his sister being trans like its ridiculous just let people exist and find a better reason to dislike someone regardless of their political opinions or rather an opinion that is letting a community exist
Everything I learn about him as a person makes me love him more. He seems like a genuinely good person. He’s also an amazing actor and I love his work.
He's insanely talented and, from what I can tell, a super kind dude. Especially in this industry, that's the kind of guy I'm always happy to see getting work.
That being said, as an indie filmmaker, I do kind of hate the oversaturation of any one particular actor in the market, regardless of talent. It often has nothing to do with that performer, but moreso the executive thinking behind it.
It's like how after the Dark Knight, everything had to get a "dark and gritty reboot". Chris Pratt and JLaw were everywhere for awhile. Zombie fad. Multiverse fad.
To me, it's indicative of a lot of projects being put together as marketing packages before a script is even there. Some suit says "Oh, this is a popular IP and popular actor. I can sell that, let's greenlight and announce. Find me a cheap writer and set a deadline." All this rather than the script informing when a project is ready. I've at least been pretty encouraged by James Gunn's quotes about taking the latter approach with DC, which shows a bit of restraint.
It also starts to challenge my immersion. There is no shortage of talent, and the top tier actors are way overpayed while many struggle to make ends meet. I wish there was more the union could do to remedy this, but so much of the economics surrounding the industry depends on "celebrity culture". Not sure there's a way to change things. But I'd like to see a lot more variety on my screens and know a lot less about who they are IRL, personally.
I don’t understand why someone getting a lot of work is over saturation. I would think surely as a filmmaker you’d understand making it that far in your career and taking all the big work you can.
He has his strengths and weaknesses as an actor. I think certain colors are more in his range. I liked him a lot in that nic cage movie as well as his GoT character.
I was concerned about his ability to take on Reed but I think he’ll be good.
May I ask what is so special about Reed that you’d assume an accomplished actor couldn’t portray him? I don’t understand this sentiment when I read it about this character.
Hyper-intelligence, slight arrogance, some warmth and some aloofness, some passion
There’s a dichotomy there and there’s levels to the character. I don’t think it’s easy to pull off. I haven’t seen all these qualities from Pedro before but I’m open to his casting and looking forward to his performance
It's so funny and weird hearing grown men act like catty high school girls saying "he doesn't look right" "eww he's too old" "eww he's not even white" its fucking pathetic
It’s not about hating him. I love him and think he’s a phenomenal actor, but I think he was miscast here.
To be fair, lots of people initially thought Heath Ledger was a miscast as the Joker (myself included) until the movie came out.
Does Pedro seem like the obvious casting choice for Reed? I wouldn't say so; however, I've been delightfully surprised before and hope I am delightfully surprised again when it comes to casting picks.
I’ll withhold judgment until we actually see the movie and not a bunch of trailers. Marvel is very well known for knocking trailers out of the park, even when the movie itself is mid.
I think it’s a fair criticism to say that Pascal is in too many things that appeal to the same audience: GoT, Mandolorian, Wonder Woman, Gladiator 2, Last of Us, Fantastic Four…
Yeah, you can say a role is bad without disliking the actor. That's infantilizing the whole casting industry.
You could say that with any popular celebrity but it doesn't always work out that way
Everytime I see him cast in something im like "Really?!?!? Him AGAIN???. And then I watch the damn thing and remember he's at the top of his game lol.
No the Strange situation is Cumberbatch. 🙂
I LOVE him I just don’t think he’s the best fit for Reed.
It’s like if I had Ryan Reynolds I wouldn’t cast him as thor because that’s just a bad fit.
This fit isn’t bad, just not the best it could be
Nobody hates Pedro. Quit being hyperbolic. Why do people take every criticism as hate? Most people love Pedro but some are getting a little tired of seeing him in every franchise out there.
We can like Pedro and still have criticisms about him.
"Getting tired of seeing him" is not fucking criticism.
I love him too, but he has an undeniable warmth to him that just doesn't sit right for Reed's often cold, logic-driven character.
Reed has a warmth to him too. Especially with his family, when theres no impending Doom. In these cases he's such an adorable dork. But if there's a world-threatening crisis? He'll lock himself in his lab for weeks and listen to no one because his logical conclusion is the only way.
When he's spending time with his family with no terrifying crisis, or no Victor taunting him, cold isn't the word I would use for him. I'd call him a doof.
Having an actor who can handle the warm goofy side and the cold and calculated side is important, and I think Pedro can handle both from his previous acting credits.
Reed is also a family man and a good friend to his team so he has those aspects sometimes.
Except Reed isn't cold and logic driven unless you're using Civil War as a reference
Yeah and I feel like this will be part of the story too. I feel like with the trailers focusing more on them public personas that he will be more cold and logic driven for the public but will show warmth behind closed doors with his wife.
I feel like a detached cold dad is a hard sell for a movie franchise that is supposed to focus so much around family in 2025
Marvel rarely actually misses with their casting
Sarah Halley Finn, Marvel's casting director, has long been described as their "secret weapon."
Very much so- the only real misstep was Kang and that wasn't bad casting, it was bad behavior on the actor's part.
Majors was fantastic casting and then he blew his career up right as it was about to truly skyrocket
Yeah seriously. A whole series of films with and about Kang could have been an awesome way to keep the Marvel fire burning after the Infinity War series. Great continuity potential along the same lines. Too bad he had to be a jerk and screw it up.
The Kang/multiverse plot wasn't landing with audiences even before Majors fucked it up. If anything, he helped Marvel get a clean break to pivot around Doom.
Eh, what's popular doesn't necessarily mean good. I enjoyed the Kangs from the Loki series. The Kang from Quantumania was kind of meh.
What bums me out though is as far as we know, they don’t have any intention on closing the Kang stuff. I get he was found to be shitty, it was a shame honestly. However, the fact they’ll just ignore that is a shame because you would think it would be better off to finish it. I heard once his contract had it so he would be all the variants so maybe that’s why they didn’t do anything more.
AQ really wasted the character. Introducing him in an Antman movie where he gets defeated- by Antman is not a good way to bring in your new Thanos level threat. Misstep
Agreed. Lovecraft Country convinced me he was a future A lister. A shame he's a crappy person.
Sarah Haley Finn, the MCU's unsung hero
Literally the only one I ever felt was miscast is Liv Tyler as Betty Ross, but that's such a non-issue to me that I still consider Marvel's casting record unblemished. Hell, I would've been fine if Terrance Howard stuck around as War Machine.
At the time I liked Terrence Howard as war machine, but he has gone off the rails since then.
Yea but it’s liv tyler
Her name is Arwen Undómiel, you uncultured swine.
/s
That movie was made by Universal before Marvel Studios was even owned by Disney.
It didn't have the Marvel machine behind it.
i can never see why people heavily value looks over actual acting,
reed as character is a complex one.
i think pedro got the chops to do it.
and based on the trailer he's been nailing the guilt ridden shriveled reed
He nailed Joel and there were similar criticisms.
I feel like nobody is even saying “I just can’t see him playing Reed” it’s all just “I’m sick of him” or, you know, the other stuff.
Maybe they'd prefer jack black... or Tom holland
That, and also saying that what he seems like irl is different from how they envision Reed’s personality and so he wouldn’t be able to be Reed, like not seeming calculating or cold or intelligent enough.
I know the franchise doesn’t exactly call for Oscar caliber acting but at the end of the day, he’s an actor and will act. He’s nailed every role he’s had so far, this wouldn’t be any different, so where is that concern really from?
I'm sure he'll be great in the role, I just wish he'd shaved his mustache. Reed either needs a full beard like in the more recent comics or to be clean shaven like he usually is.
This. Absolutely this. The mustache is a Pascal trademark, it would help distance the actor from the character. And it's not like he looks too weird, we've seen him without it already.
But idk, he shaved for WW84 and it was what it was... maybe it's just superstition at this point.
He can’t grow a full beard, they tried it in Game of Thrones and they decided to go with what he has instead of using a fake full beard. I don’t think facial hair makes the character, I mean Hugh Jackman is tall and not as harry as Logan in the comics, I mean in some movies he had zero hair on his torso and chest.
Pedro Pascal can be a cold hearted asshole know it all, because he’s a great actor. He’s going to be perfect.
Respectfully disagree. Given the period and aesthetic I like the decision. When they eventually end up in the “sacred timeline” 60+ years later, I hope it’s shaved.
Face and look wise no one has beaten grufford he looks like comic reed
He can play a similar personality to Reed, too; he's been typecast along those lines as an academic, a scientist, a doctor.
In a world where Jeffrey Wright is playing an amazing Jim Gordon I think we can acknowledge that similar looks are not a requirement
My brother was furious about this and I asked him what part of Gordon’s character has his skin Color embedded in it?
This! Looks aren’t important. Acting chops are. Pedro is gonna kill it
Gruffudd is his name. You're right about the rest.
Hiring someone because their face looks like the comic character would be such a dumb decision
they're going to start drawing comic reed with a 'stache now 😄
But he has been stuck with a beard for more than 10 years
Suppose he’ll have to shave
He'll get his moustache for a year or two until like Mephisto will force him to shave or sometimes. Gotta keep that status quo
Okay, but they should hire good actors for film roles. Not lookalikes.
Gruffudd is a good actor and could've been a good Mr. Fantastic, but his films' writing failed him.
Yes I can agree with choosing him for popularity, that's because of Robert Downey Jr. Dr Doom and Mister Fantastic are equally major roles. To match Robert Downey Jr, Pedro is the best Reed.
Not my choice but I’m sure he’ll do a great job
Dennis from always sunny looks like the perfect reed casting to me
The cast of IASIP is the best incarnation of the fantastic four if they weren’t already typecast by the fans and I mean that in the most serious way. Dennis Reed, Dee as Invisible Woman, Mac as Flamer On, Frank as the Thing, and Charlie as Doc Doom. They all have the acting chops to play those characters to a T
I would preorder tickets to this movie so fast. It would be ridiculous and perfect
He is incredibly talented, and I love some of his works, but when I think Reed Richards, I don't see Pedro Pascal.
You haven't even seen the movie yet lmfao
I think he was a great casting and I'm excited for him in the role. Reed has a lot of subtlety to his character - absolute ego being clawed back via duty to his family, to humanity, to the universe. LITERALLY being the smartest person in any room leads to complexities that are hard for any actor to portray, and I think he can nail that.
My fan cast that I still think would be actually perfect was Penn Badgley from You, but that just wouldn't be as big of a name, and he may not have the chops, who knows.
Penn would have been such an interesting choice. I think he’s an incredible actor
Love the actor, interested in the movie...so its nothing personal when I say Pedro just has a "dour" countenance that doesn't remind me of comic Reed🤷🏽♂️
I just want him to shave
Ioan Gruffodd will forever be the perfect casting for Reed, and I wish they could've cast him in the MCU. He's not even that much older than Pedro Pascal.
Especialy if they are coming from another universe anyways, just bring them from the fox universe, but i am still up for Pedro
It's a shame, because in a parallel world, those 2000s movies could've been great, and Gruffudd could've been to Reed, what Maguire was to Spider-Man.
might be a perfect looks reed.
but the movies writing failed him
Did you use AI for this post?…
It feels that way
The prevailing theory seems to be that Marvel only cast him because of his rising popularity
And then the first point is
They needed to find an actor who... Is a big enough name to draw attention
The amount of posts defending this casting is more than the amount of hate i have seen for it.
Personally, I think they nailed the casting of 2/4 members of the Fantastic Family. Pedro and Quinn are the two that I have my doubt at. And it's not about the casting themselves, but the care that has been put into their appearance. Pedro looks like he's hopping from set to set, and that's why he has to keep that beard moustache. Quinn's hairstyle is just atrocious, you cannot defend that.
I generally don't agree with the comic accuracy bull$#/t, so i have my hopes up, expectations down.
Quinn's hairstyle is just atrocious, you cannot defend that.
Yeah, not a fan and while I like Quinn, he doesn't really seem like a cocky hotshot the way I'd expect Johnny Storm to be.
Still, I'm very excited and hope I'm proven wrong. I can overlook the hair and having a hard time seeing Mr. Fantastic past Pedro due to his recent prevalence if the movie is good.
8 billion people, and the most famous franchise cannot find some decent stylists for these actors.
I dont see it at all. I don't mind the guy I just dont see it.
I could love this movie and STILL not see him as Reed.
Should at least have grown his beard all out or shaved it all off
stfu
he 100% has all the acting chops and abilities to play reed. there’s just two things that he can’t control and that’s his voice and how he looks. many fans are just so used to seeing the skinny, squeaky voiced reed.
Except reed has never been squeaky voiced. He's always had the leave it to beaver dad tone of almost monotone but with a hint of whatever emotion fits the situation. That's how he was described by his creator anyhow.
Yeah I picture him as a 50s dad smoking a pipe and teaching his kids to painstakingly construct a soap box racer in a squeaky-clean garage.
Exactly!
I think he should have the tone of that one high school teacher who had to wake up early and is clearly not happy about that
I don’t care much about his voice but holy crap he looks like the same person in every movie, just wearing different clothes. One of the same issues I had with the rock, he’s the same guy in every movie. Now Pedro isn’t as bad but still. Change it up a bit, shave the mustache, flip the hair the other way, cut it, let it grow, bulk up, do something, it just seems lazy.
Oh and he’s a little weird about woman’s fingernails but that’s a whole different topic lol
Yes that’s essentially my ONLY issue with him. He doesn’t change up his appearance and I don’t know why. Shave the mustache or go full beard for Reed. I don’t get it.
He has shaved and change his appearance for movies, I don't think in this case it would fit the character.
And he likes nails, its an art tbh.
My only issue with this casting is my own personal hang up with it. At this point Pedro Pascal is the face of so many franchises that when I see him in the marketing for this movie I don’t see Reed Richards. I just see the Fantastic Four and Pedro Pascal.
I’m guessing that will fall away for me though as soon as the movie starts. Pedro is a great actor and I’ve like him in everything I’ve seen him in. I’m sure this will be do different and it’s just a little cognitive dissonance going on for me right now.
Not a fan of stache for me fantastic, that’s my only critique.
Do you think they asked him to shave for the role and he said the mustache has to stay? I like it. It just doesn’t fit Reed
Ironically Benedict would have been a better Reed and Benjamin Bratt would have been also a decent Doctor Strange. But Benedict is a chameleon type actor so he suits many characters.
Pedro isn’t a bad actor but he’s not the best actor for all the roles he’s been getting. I don’t think he’ll be a great reed richards, there were better options. Doesn’t mean his interpretation is going to be bad, but it won’t be a good fit for him imo. I didn’t even like him as Joel either.
I have no problem with him being cast as Reed, I'm personally just tired of seeing him in everything. It makes it harder for me to accept him in any role. He's more Pedro Pascal than any character he portrays.
He's just not ... nerdy to me
I’m tired of seeing that man
It’s not good casting when people have to make posts like this.
Pure facts. Word
Where were you when the Pedro hate was high
Listen he’s a great actor and all that but he just don’t look like Reed to me. He seems too stocky to play a man with stretchy powers and it seems a lil goofy to me.
I’ll have to see how it looks on the big screen.
I think its generally odd when people want the actors to look exactly like the comic counter part. See the fancasts just going for direct lookalike but they have no previous acting experience related to it
Pedro is a phenomenal actor with so much experience in the fiction genre and playing the smart and calculated hero. Idk why the fans aren't excited to have someone who regularly leads franchises with lure acting chops and star power
An he has ability to bring levity which might be needed in a more family oriented team/movie. I never pictured him as Mr fantastic but I think he’ll be…fantastic.
Say that again
Because comic book fans want to see a comic accurate Reed. Adapting a comic is one thing, but how many small changes are made before that adaptation doesn't really feel like the mainstream product anymore?
This movie isn't doing a terrible job with that, but all I hear, see, perceive, is Pedro. I do not see Reed at all.
Personally, I do feel like if they shaved his face and gave him white hair on the sides it would not be a major issue. But i will see the movie and see how I feel after.
As a comic fan, I don’t know if I agree with all of that. Which adaptation? Which Reed? Which artist - Kirby, Buscema, Perez? I don’t know how hung up on looks and aesthetics I want to get if the person inhabiting the role can convey the character. I personally haven’t had an issue with Pedro in any of the roles he’s been in; I haven’t seen Pedro Pascal any more than I’ve seen other ‘big’ name actors in their respective roles, provides they’re one of the ones who can actually act. As long as Pedro can act like Reed, he can rock a pencil-stache and shave his head bald for all I care.
Chris pratt playing starlord
Evans as cap
Hemsworth as Thor
All did not look like their comic counterpart.
More extremely, peggy carter played by Haley. Completely different yet very good character
Hugh Jackman as wolverine. Literally one of the best and most beloved x-men brought to live action. Speaking of Michael Fassbender as magneto.
Im sure all of these casts were hated on by people like you beforehand, but it all comes down the writing. Idk about you but I see Reed in Pedro bc ik his acting ability can do it
We shall see
I’m tired of seeing pascal everywhere. And also the moustache needs to go, I can only see Pedro pascal, not the character.
Nah, I still don't like him as Reed. Bad casting is bad. Johnny actor, with the bad blonde hair dye job, also looks weird imo.
And The Thing not even having a thick new york accent is bad too
Nope, no DD or opinion will change my mind on this. He is not the right cast ( and I do love Pedro ).
I was really hoping that they'd cast Brandon Routh instead.
I feel like Brandon Routh has a stronger future at DC if he ends up cast there. He already has history with the company and hasn’t had trouble filling different characters, even in the same continuity.
You can white knight for internet daddy all you want. Pedro was a shit choice and is relying on money grab rationalization to prop him up
I think Afleck got more hate when he got cast as Batman. I’m even old enough to remember Micheal Keaton being cast. He didn’t have it easy too, and this was before the internet even. So that meant he got bad mouthed on TV and Radio.
This time around it’s amidst a giant culture war.
I dont hate the casting. But I've always wanted Brandon Routh, Jake Gyllenhaal as Reed Richards 😭
I dont hate pedro pascal, i would love him in the mcu, but as anyone else but reed Him and sue storm as not well cast in this film
Pedro is a great actor, but that doesn't make him the best for the role. Krasinski would have been better. MoM is an unfair representation of what he could have brought to the role due to the poor writing of the characters in general
I’m kind of tired of the narrative of having to defend everything. Pedro is a great actor and nobody doubts that. However, he is a terrible casting for a Reed Richard’s and this decision was done to purely put butts into seats based on actor popularity. And if you want proof that the MCU relies on this narrative, just look at how thunderbolts performed in the box office.
He will probably do a good enough job in the film. But he’s still not a good choice for Reed. There’s 0 resemblance to Reed.
Who cares what he looks like? As long as he can deliver a good performance then why does it matter so much?
Because if you’re going to adapt Reed Richards into live action maybe the actor should actually look like Reed?
Is this a hot take or something? Why does this need to be asked, is it asking for too much? It’s almost like these films are based on some kind of original source material that’s been the standard for decades.
You can act as well as you can but if you don’t remotely look like the character you’re acting as it’s not a good casting. Simple as that.
The best adaptation have good actors, not people that just look like the character.
Cool beans. So define what it is to “look” like Reed Richards. Because comic book reed has had like forty different faces depending on whoever’s drawing him. Sometimes he looks whitebread boring, other times he has a whole beard. Nobody’s sitting up here saying casting should be the most random thing ever—you wouldn’t cast Danny DeVito as Superman, but prioritizing presence and performance over carbon copy appearances is just how adaptions work. Hugh Jackman is too tall and not hairy enough to be Wolverine, but that didn’t stop him from becoming THE wolverine for an entire generation of fans. Prior to 2008, Robert Downey Jr looked absolutely nothing like Iron Man. He was short and actually older than he was in the books, and again, he ended up being the definitive version of Iron Man for most people. You think Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, or Tom Holland look anything like comic book Peter Parker? Nope. But they’re still beloved.
Those aren’t bad casting decisions. The point of casting a character is to embody the spirit of who they are in the books. Pedro Pascal has the genuine talent to sell the best and worst of Reed, and from what we’ve seen so far he’s done exactly that. If you care more about how someone looks compared to a drawing, I have some great cosplay pages for you to follow.
I'm genuinely so tired of seeing the same 5 faces everywhere I look
I can't wait to see how his performance goes
I think he is. But if he’s not, that’s okay too. I like him either way.
I never seen him in anything until I just materialist and he wasn't that great. But I never heard of most the actors the MCU hires and most of them are good.
Just go and watch the movie if you want to. Guy can act and I’ll enjoy the movie if it’s good. Also, what a month for cinema lovers, watched f1 on IMAX, Jurassic something and still 2 blockbusters to look forward to. Let’s go!!
4th pic is actually fire 🔥
Pedro is well cast in pretty much anything
Guys what ever the movie is like , Pedro will be great
Plot twist: Hes not.
It's because he's a good actor.
That's it, that's all that needs to be said.
Honestly, he was a good choice. It’s not easy to Make Reed Likable. Pedro is charismatic and projects a friendly vibe.
Because the man can actually act. End of discussion. People are mad he was cast because their fancast didnt come true. Even when we got Karsinski as a nod for fan service in DS2 people still complained.
Regarding the mustache: This is a period piece. In the ‘60s, you didn’t get a lot of non-hippie/beatniks with beards, but a mustache wasn’t uncommon for someone of Reed’s social status. Maybe he will shave or grow a full beard when he’s brought to the present in later films.
I will wait to watch the movie to make an opinion
I don't mind him in general but I was disappointed at the casting because it hinted at a more wholesome version of the Fantastic Four than I was hoping to see.
I was really excited by the idea of Jeremy Strong playing him but I knew it was never really likely.
I like the points you made, especially about him fitting into the 60’s theme of the movie (everybody hates the mustache but it makes sense since having a mustache was extremely common back then) but I am still apprehensive because he isn’t known for roles like this mostly, he is a great actor but his filmography is very different from this movie, I do have faith
He's actor, he can pull off the look, and will definitely do a good job.
Thats really all that matters
We need to start ignoring and blocking these fuckin whiners.
I mean he just doesn’t look like Reed in the majority of his appearances.
Pedro is an amazing human being and talent. As a long time fan of Marvel Comics I think he is a great choice to play Reed.
Pedro is a great actor, his acting in Last of Us was so subtle and real. Thank God is not John Krasinski, if you watch his last “adventure movie” from Apple, his acting stinks.
He fine
Sure beats how they wasted him in the DC universe.
who does pedro play in dc??
Maxwell Lord in "Wonder Woman and the very dubious and immoral way of bringing back your boyfriend in 1984"
You need to give me the stone.
would. next
wood. next
John Favreau : "Choking me with your legs was necessary."
would, next.
Yew neeed to gev me thr stawrn
Underrated title 🤣🤣🤣
Not to mention when Wonder Woman rapes a guy
Not only raping, later she even met him and smiled to him while he had no clue what happened. Imagine you chilling around, not knowing who raped you was right there looking at you and smiled thinking about the "good" memories with your body. Holy Jesus, they actually wrote it ...
She did what now
Yeah man. Her boyfriend stole a random guy's body, they make fun of him and commit a bunch of crimes together and then she rapes the guys body.
I mean to be fair the actress is very used to committing crimes.
War crimes, no less
I think it was the writing plus the overall plot, he came to work for that one.
Lmao great description. Man that drop in quality between movies was worse than Raimi's Spider-Man 2 to 3
He played the villian in wonder woman 84
oh ye. i forgot lol
It was so bad, it also made me forget Wonder Womans 2 through 83.
I think most of us forgot everything about that awful movie
They made a movie set in the 80s, and despite Warner Bros owning the rights to roughly 1/3 of the music ever made they made the baffling choice to not have the soundtrack be a selection of the best songs from that decade. That movie would still have been terrible if they’d licenced some bangers, but it would have been FUN terrible. James Gunn came in too late, he would never have let that movie open without a mixtape.
Agreed. Look what stranger things did for running up that hill, and Gunn did for Fleetwood Mac. There are so many 80s bangers that would have fit perfectly, it's a shame they didn't use anything.
I wonder if the new Superman has music in it? It might feel off with superman, orchestraesque music nigtht be the better call, with maybe a single song or two outside it.
It’s got some punk music. Quite a bit actually.
Jenkins really dropped the ball on that movie.
As did every producer and writer. And DC execs had a habit of mangling movies in the editing room. Hopefully Gunn will be able to exert some control and/or show restraint.
He is the "That's good but it could be better" meme
That's what happens when you don't let him keep the stache
