Pedro Pascal, who plays Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic in the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe film “The Fantastic Four: First Steps,” initially wanted to adopt an early ’60s Transatlantic accent for his role. However, he ultimately abandoned this plan as the movie is set in a 1960s-inspired alternate Earth with a retro-futuristic atmosphere. While Pascal’s idea may not have been implemented, it does reflect a thoughtful approach to his character development.
Pedro Pascal reveals what he wanted for Reed Richards
In a recent conversation with Vanity Fair, Pascal shared that he once developed a Transatlantic accent from the early ’60s for Reed’s character, but Marvel asked him to speak in his natural voice instead. As he put it, “They continuously had to bring me back from a very Mid-Atlantic, early ’60s style of speech. They even assigned a dialect coach to help us with that accent. I adapted to it quite effectively… But they said, ‘Please, speak more like yourself.’
During the shooting of Fantastic Four, Pascal found it challenging due to his deep immersion in that period. He further explained that for him, it represented a fresh departure from previous portrayals.
Since 1961, the Fantastic Four – a group of superheroes created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby – has been a staple in Marvel Comics. Throughout various films and TV adaptations, this team has undergone multiple interpretations. In one such interpretation, Alex Hyde-White played Reed Richards in an English-language German feature film titled The Fantastic Four, which was never officially released. However, unauthorized copies of the movie have been circulating since 1994.
Ioan Gruffudd starred as Reed in both the 2005 film Fantastic Four and its sequel, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer in 2007. Later on, Miles Teller took over the role for the 2015 reboot. Before Pascal, John Krasinski played Reed from Earth-838 in the 2022 Marvel Cinematic Universe movie Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
The Fantastic Four: First Steps debuts in US theaters on July 25, 2025.
