Pedro Pascal reveals he had to be pulled back from overdoing 1960s 'mid-Atlantic' in Fantastic Four: First Step

Pedro Pascal will make his Marvel film debut

Hollywood actor Pedro Pascal is gearing up for his most-awaited Marvel debut with The Fantastic Four: First Steps. He will portray Mister Fantastic/Reed Richards, the leader of the team. The actor attended the global promotion of his upcoming film and reflected on some interesting anecdotes.

While talking to Vanity Fair, Pedro Pascal revealed that he tried his 100% to perfect the 1960s accent, but the crew consistently pulled him back.

He said, “The theatre of that is something to step into. I don't know if I did it well, they had to keep on pulling me back from a very mid-Atlantic, early 60s talk. They had a dialect coach who was going to help us with that kind of dialect.”

The actor added, “I took to it so well, they had to pull me aside...they were like, 'Uh, talk more like yourself.' I had a hard time doing that because I was so into the era, which for me, was something to step into, as it's different from what we've seen before. What they've created is something we haven't seen.”

Directed by Matt Shakman, The Fantastic Four: First Steps is slated to hit the Indian theatres on July 25 in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.
