Robert Downey Jr. sagt, dass Pedro Pascals Aufstieg zum Ruhm „mein Vertrauen in unsere Branche bekräftigt“.

>Robert Downey Jr. is singing Pedro Pascal‘s praises. Both actors are appearing in the next Phase of the MCU, with Pascal leading “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” as Reed Richards AKA Mr. Fantastic and Downey as Victor Von Doom AKA Doctor Doom for “Avengers: Doomsday.” Will they first square off in “First Steps”? Unclear. However, that didn’t stop Downey from pointing to how Pascal is an inspiration for Hollywood as a whole.

>“Pascal’s slow trajectory to becoming a household name who is on a wildly hot streak kind of reaffirms my faith in our industry,” Downey told Vanity Fair. And it’s true: Pascal really is everywhere. In addition to starring in “The Fantastic Four,” the actor appears in “The Last of Us,” “Materialists,” “Eddington,” and “The Mandalorian.”

>“I’m more aware of disgruntlement around my casting than anything I’ve ever done. ‘He’s too old. He’s not right. He needs to shave,’” Pascal said, adding that Downey made him feel comfortable about his “Fantastic Four” role. “He’s just so immediately generous and inviting that you feel like you can be afraid, you can be hungry, you can be ambivalent.”
