went to the cinema yesterday and saw him in multiple adverts before the trailers. and he's cast in everything. securing the bag like nobody else.

During Hispanic Heritage Month, some influencer was talking about Pedro Pascal and unironically called him "daddy". I cringed in my seat right there. Don't bring Internet speak out there in the real world.

Dude ....deadline is confirming Pedro. 

 

This Twitter handle has gotten many things wrong before and is not the trades.

A deal is not done yet. Maybe they sent out this press release to test the waters

Yeah, amazing for Pascal if true. Not bad for a guy who couldn't afford food before getting his star making role on Game of Thrones. Now he is the guy in everything you love, GOT, SW, TLOS, and MCU.

Pedro Pascal seems a little old for the role.

Guy is nearing 50. He is collecting paychecks to secure future.

If Reed and Sue already have kids in this then the age makes sense.

Looks like they will skip a lot and might get straight into the older years of fan4. Won't be shocked if we get casting of kids of Reed and Sue.

I guess I just wasn’t expecting there to be that much of an age discrepancy between him and Sue, assuming Vanessa Kirby is playing the character.

It'll be fine, it's not like he will be flipping around like Spidey. His main power along with his intelligence is stretching his body and punching people with giant hammer fists which CGI can take care of. Also Reed always had some grey in his hair.

 

I just hope if they cast Pascal as Reed, they get a Sue around his age instead of some barely 20 year old teeny booper.

That's just your regular Hollywood ageism when it comes to female actors.

In the comics I felt Reed was a good 10 years older than Sue.

That’s what I’m thinking as well. I am okay with Pascal Reed not to torn up but not creaming. Pascal probably could do both “real” acting and Marvel stuff the most out of their recent gets.

 

Wanted Driver because both CBM Twitter and Film Twitter having tantrums is hilarious to me.

Reed and Sue meet when Reed is a college freshman and Sue is 12.

[SpiderByte]

Yeah I believe they (very rightfully) retconned that ages ago

Didn't want Driver because he gives off creepy school shooter vibes which is fine for Kylo Ren and that creep in The Last Duel, but not fatherly genius inventor like Reed.

 

Also Kylo Ren fangirls are insufferable and don't want them anywhere near the MCU.

They certainly retconned Reed being a World War 2 veteren..he made a guest appreance as the commander of  an OSS unit in France way back in 1963 in issue 3 of "Sgt.Fury and the Howling Commandos".

Oh yeah every year anyone who was involved in a war gets moved up. Unless they got suspended in time or are immortal in some way.

They should have done this to rile up wokists.

[YM!]

Unsure if they can get Pascal in time though. With The Last of Us 2, and Gladiator being top priorities could he even be fit in. Marvel isn’t the biggest fish in that proverbial sea.

It’s not “woke” to find that sort of age difference (at those ages) uncomfortable.
 

If you don’t, that’s eh… on you.
