The film sets the stage for future Marvel stories, and the team is likely to return in an upcoming big Marvel project titled ‘Avengers: Doomsday’.
Pascal, who has earned a strong fan base through projects like ‘The Last of Us’ and ‘The Mandalorian’, has been training hard to play the stretchy and sharp-minded superhero. Media reports say he has taken inspiration from comic books and earlier versions of the character to bring Reed Richards to life in a fresh and exciting way.
