    Really tired of seeing the same actors cast over and over and over. Pascal is talented, but does he have to be the Mandalorian and Last of Us guy and a Marvel superhero?

            Well, at this point, they have written him out. Old Man Steve got to go make his date in the 40s and lived happily ever after.

            Though how the TVA went after Loki and not Steve escapes me.

              Still hoping Steve shows back up.

              But yeah, that new timeline was supposed to happen. I think any timeline without a tyrannical Kang was considered fine. That’s why some variance was okay. Most of the Lokis were taken after they strayed too far, not at the moment of divergence.

          I mean, how many of those happened at the same time?

          Most of them are his Marvel Character as well.

      It’s especially silly because people aren’t going to avoid the movie if it’s got a ‘no name’ cast.

      Yeah I wouldn’t mind him being a smaller hero, but he’s really busy already and that could affect Marvel stuff negatively.

    I don’t really see Pedro as Reed at all. But he’s talented so I’m gonna trust that he can slide into the role.

    The only thing is that I thought Reed would be younger

      And this one will likely be landing at a time of maximum super hero movie fatigue. Hope it succeeds though, would be cool to see a well received F4 movie.

    I find this a strange choice, but I love Pedro and everyone seems to want him in everything so I’m not complaining.

      This is pretty much how I feel. John Krasinski was a better fit for the Reed we know, but Pedro is so damn charming in everything he does. He even managed to uplift WW84 in my eyes.

        I just don’t think John Krasinski is a good actor. Outside of the office, he just comes off as a guy reading lines. It’s a shame, because I loved The Office and A Quiet Place was great aside from his acting. But I’m kind of glad he didn’t get the permanent role.

        Also, IMO WW84 is worth watching 💯 only because of Pedro Pascal.

    I hope he does the thickest, most “r”-rollingest Spanish accent possible for the role.

    And then drop a line about how Scotty D. can eat the biggest turd sandwich ever.

    He has been tapped, but AFAICT not confirmed yet.

    Something that I find interesting is that he is a superb parent/father character actor (I.e.: Joel and Mando), so a possible older Reed with Valeria and Franklin is a very interesting take.
