David Tennant Made Play for Pedro Pascal's 'Fantastic Four’ Role
As the premiere of the highly anticipated Fantastic Four: First Steps draws near, the next addition to the Marvel series continues to ramp up hype. The film, starring Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn and Julia Garner, is set to hit theaters on July 25, 2025.
While the entire cast of noteworthy names drew attention when it was announced, Pascal's name specifically moved the needle, as he's been one of the most popular names in Hollywood of late. He's now set to follow up roles in The Mandalorian and The Last of Us with his portrayal of Reed Richards, aka Mister Fantastic.
However, as MCM Comic Con revealed, courtesy of DiscussingFilm, one name specifically had his sights set on the role of Mister Fantastic—David Tennant.
Although Tennant was seemingly disappointed in being passed over for the role, he gave Pascal a tip of the cap.
“Unfortunately it looks like they’ve gone in a different direction," tenant said of the role of Mister Fantastic. "Although if it has to be someone [else], I’m very happy for it to be Pedro Pascal.”
Tennant has starred in the tenth and fourteenth incarnations of the Doctor in the sci-fi series Doctor Who, playing the roles from 2005 to 2010 and in 2013. He's also been in the 2011 film Fright Night, the television series Jessica Jones, and played numerous other roles throughout his career.
