One of the most anticipated films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), The Fantastic Four: First Steps is set to hit theaters this July. The film stars veteran actor Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards, alias Mister Fantastic.
In this role, Pascal will showcase his ability to stretch all of his body parts, a trait that comic book fans will be familiar with. After the previous Fantastic Four series produced by Fox, Richards will now lead this superhero team that is now making its debut in the MCU.
Recently, Pedro Pascal appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live to promote his new project The Last of Us Season 2. During the interview, host Jimmy Kimmel asked Reed Richards an interesting question about his character: "Can Mister Fantastic stretch all his body parts?" Pascal replied humorously, but vaguely: "Everything has to stretch."

After this answer, Kimmel showed the audience a comic book panel. In this panel, Reed Richards' wife Sue Storm (Invisible Woman) says to him:
"Did I ever tell you how amazing you got your powers from those cosmic rays?"
This conversation suggests that Reed can stretch all his limbs - including his private parts - but this has not been explicitly confirmed. In this case, Pascal once again showed his sense of humor:
"I mean, he's a great conversationalist in bed."
Pascal's hilarious responses impressed fans and further fueled the excitement for the film Fantastic Four: First Steps. The film will honor the Marvel Comics canon and introduce the Fantastic Four team to the MCU from a new perspective. Fans are hoping that Pedro Pascal's acting skills and sense of humor will add a unique charm to the role.
