Pedro Pascal Avoids Stretch Question About ‘Fantastic Four’ Role

LOS ANGELES, March 25, 2025 — Pedro Pascal became flustered during an interview with Jimmy Kimmel when questioned about his upcoming role in Marvel‘s anticipated film ‘Fantastic Four.’ This questioning over what to expect from the character Reed Richards came ahead of Season 2 of Pascal’s highly acclaimed series ‘The Last of Us.’

While discussing the recently released trailer for ‘Fantastic Four,’ Kimmel pointed out the absence of any indication that Pascal’s character, Mr. Fantastic, can stretch—one of his defining abilities. The trailer has left many fans speculating about how this power will be showcased in the film.

Kimmel, who noted that a second trailer could drop on April 4, shifted the focus to whether audiences might see Pascal’s powers on screen soon. Pascal, realizing the nature of the question, humorously deflected, saying, “I don’t know. You see all the saliva like evaporating in my throat? Now I’m nervous.”

The interaction highlighted the buzz surrounding the new Marvel movie and Pascal’s rising star power, especially after his success in ‘The Last of Us.’ As the conversation turned to other topics, it was evident that the anticipation for the film continues to grow.

Meanwhile, Pascal’s recent appearance on ‘Saturday Night Live‘ during the anniversary special also made waves. He joined fellow celebrities including Sabrina Carpenter and Bad Bunny, in a sketch that humorously involved crashing a vow renewal ceremony.

Although he was able to poke fun at himself, acknowledging his own debut with ‘SNL,’ Pascal continues to navigate exciting, yet nerve-wracking moments in his career — something fans are eager to watch unfold.
