Pedro Pascal recently revealed that his Fantastic Four co-star Vanessa Kirby provided valuable assistance as he prepared for his role in the upcoming Marvel movie. In a video circulating online, Pascal acknowledged Kirby’s contribution to helping him feel more self-assured. He emphasized that her support was particularly beneficial during the initial stages of working on the project.

Addressing Kirby straight-on, Pascal remarked, “I believe a major factor in me securing the role was you.” He elaborated that out of the four main actors, he was the one who joined the team last. After the cast was settled, it was Kirby who made the first moves to connect. She proactively worked on strengthening their on-screen relationship as co-stars. Additionally, she dedicated effort towards fostering the connection between their characters, portraying a married couple and parents in the film.

According to Pascal, we were conversing, and she swiftly took the initiative to deepen our relationship, exploring each other and showing great affection towards the characters we portrayed in our marital union as we transitioned into parenthood.

Pascal confessed he felt apprehensive about assuming such a prominent position, labeling himself as evasive when uneasy. Nevertheless, Kirby assisted him through the process. He said, “I was incredibly, incredibly anxious. If I get anxious, I tend to avoid. She took my hand and pushed me into this coveted role so that we could both fully immerse ourselves in it.
