Pedro Pascal has been cast as Reed Richards in the upcoming Fantastic Four reboot.

The Fantastic Four reboot is a crucial part of Marvel Studios' strategy to regain fan trust after a few lackluster performances. Reed Richards, also known as Mr. Fantastic, is a key character in this iconic team. The character's casting has always been a hot topic among fans, and Pedro Pascal, well-known for his roles in "The Mandalorian" and "The Last of Us," promises to bring substantial charisma and dedication to the MCU. This reboot is expected to be a major turning point, alongside other anticipated projects like the X-Men reboot and Daredevil: Born Again.
