New THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS Set Photos Give Us A Better Look At Pedro Pascal As Reed Richards

Some more photos from the set of The Fantastic Four: First Steps have been shared online, and they give us a closer look at Pedro Pascal suited-up (well, mostly) as Reed Richards...

As filming continues on Marvel Studios' The Fantastic Four: First Steps in Spain (shooting is expected to wrap over the weekend or early next week), some more photos from the set have found their way online, giving us a better look at Pedro Pascal suited-up as Reed Richards, aka Mr. Fantastic.

Though the Gladiator II and The Last of Us actor is still wearing a black hoodie to hide the top half of his costume, his blue pants and white boots are visible, along with the signature grey streaks on the sides of his head that have become a permanent fixture of the character in the comics.

Check out the photos at the link below.

The first trailer for The Fantastic Four has yet to be officially released, but there are a few leaked versions from various events such as SDCC and D23 doing the rounds online.

Joining Pascal will be Vanessa Kirby (Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning) as Sue Storm, aka the Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn (Stranger Things, A Quiet Place Day One) as Johnny Storm, aka The Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach (The Punisher, The Bear) as Ben Grimm, aka the Thing. 

Julia Garner will debut as the Shala-Bal version of the Silver Surfer, while Galactus has also been confirmed as the main villain. The Eater of Worlds will be played by Ralph Ineson (The Witch, Game of Thrones).

We're still not sure who Natasha Lyonne is playing (the voice of H.E.R.B.I.E. the robot of Ben Grimm's partner Alicia Masters are popular theories), but rumor has it that John Malkovich is playing one of the team's oldest villains, Ivan Kragoff, aka the Red Ghost. There's also speculation that Paul Walter Hauser has been cast as Mole Man, but this has yet to be confirmed.

Kevin Feige recently confirmed that the movie will take place in an alternate universe, but we know that Marvel's First Family will appear in Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, so we wouldn't be surprised if they find their way into the main MCU timeline by the end of this movie.

Shooting is now underway, and some set photos have started to show up online.

Matt Shakman directs The Fantastic Four: First Steps, which is set to hit theaters on July 25, 2025.

Damn , Pedro looks good as Reed!!.

Also I don’t mind the moustache personally , it’s something different & fresh from the other versions we have had.

I don’t mind Mr Fantastic looking like Pedro; but how a practically 50 years old man is casted as the Next said character; the MCU’s "definitive" version.

@CharlesLeeRay - Here is a John Byrne reference sheet where he notes Reed's age as "42 yrs". I don't see much of a difference with Pascal being close to 50 years old. The problem with Pascal is that you won't see a moustache on Byrne's Reed reference sheet.

@GeneralZod - stan lee had him late thirties when he first introduced them. In modern he'd be 38-42. 50 years old is a bit much considering he's supposed to be around for some time.

@GeneralZod - Interesting little note on the bottom of that about Torch being a light source … Byrne was great, man.
GeneralZod
GeneralZod - 11/23/2024, 7:58 PM
@ElJefe - Good catch. Notice how The Thing has a bit extra shadow/shading because of Johnny next to him.

Looks great, just wish he would shave. He will be the best Reed yet otherwise.

Pedro Pascal as Pedro Pascal. That's the problem.

Not worried about Pascal at all, but after seeing Gladiator 2... Ehhh, some reservations about Quinn as Johnny.

@MarkCassidy - Quinn is in gladiator 2?

@Vigor - He played one the twins

@Vigor - he's one of the emperors. Dreadful overacting... Although some of that is down to the character I suppose.

Trouble is Pedro Pascal looks like Pedro Pascal, and nothing like Reed Richards. Terrible casting, this movie is going to tank…..

This is as close as we'll get to the late Burt Reynolds playing Reed Richards.

Honestly after Gladiator I'm realizing half the cast minimum is fully miscast. All I see is Pedro Pascal. And Joseph Quinn as Johnny might be the worst casting in awhile.

It's just Pedro in blue pants, I don't know why you keep spreading misinformation in this articles

All fan casting crap complaints about wolverine height no one complains about don cheadle and Pedro being 1 foot shorter than characters in books height comparison

We haven’t had a Reed yet that looked like the comics. Not a huge deal but it would be cool to see.

Reed, as a character, is boring as hell. I’m glad they cast an actor who can make it interesting.

Did everyone who was complaining about Pedro Pascal playing Pedro Pascal also complain about our RDJ playing RDJ WHEN HE WAS APPEARING AS IRON MAN?

@RolandD - what the hell is wrong with voice dictation? I did not do that in all caps, although this is not the first time that has happened.
