'Fantastic Four' Star Pedro Pascal Would 'Never Fight' Elastigirl of ‘The Incredibles’
Pedro Pascal made his debut as the Fantastic Four’s Reed Richards, also known as Mister Fantastic, in what's trending toward Marvel's newest hit movie. Fantastic Four: First Steps has earned high marks from critics and fans early on ahead of its official release, and Pascal's portrayal of the popular character is one of several reasons why.
However, even after going toe-to-toe with Galactus in Fantastic Four: First Steps and reprising his role in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday with an expected date against Doctor Doom, Pascal still knows his character's limits.
Specifically, Pascal has no interest in pitting Mister Fantastic against one of the most popular animated superhero families—The Incredibles.
During a segment on LADbible's "Agree to Disagree," Pascal and co-star Vanessa Kirby were asked their opinion on a series of questions, one of which was who would win in a fight between the Fantastic Four and The Incredibles.
After first making the argument that the two groups of superheroes would never fight, Pascal then pivoted to a different approach.
“They would never fight The Incredibles. The Incredibles are the Fantastic Four. They would never fight one another," Pascal first claimed.
"...Or maybe they'd be like let me see what you can do with your elasticity....and then I would be like, 'Oh no, I have to show you.' No, I would never fight with Holly Hunter [Elastigirl], ever, ever, she would beat me."
Pascal ultimately went with The Incredibles as his choice, while Kirby disagreed and said the Fantastic Four would win.
Obviously, an animated superhero crossover isn't on the horizon, but it's a fun argument to see the Fantastic Four: First Steps duo have.
While Fantastic Four: First Steps officially hits theaters on Friday, July 25, the early viewings have drawn strong reviews from critics on Rotten Tomatoes. The Marvel movie currently holds an 88 percent rating from critics.
