**David Tennant Reveals Interest in Mister Fantastic Role, Congratulates Pedro Pascal**
London, UK – David Tennant, best known for his role as the Tenth Doctor in “Doctor Who,” has revealed he had his sights set on playing Reed Richards, also known as Mister Fantastic, in the upcoming Marvel Studios film, “The Fantastic Four: First Steps.”
Speaking at MCM Comic Con, Tennant admitted he was interested in the role of the elastic superhero. “In terms of superheroes, I did slightly have my eye on Reed Richards and unfortunately, it looks like they’ve gone in a different direction,” Tennant told fans.
The role ultimately went to “The Last of Us” star Pedro Pascal. However, Tennant expressed his support for Pascal, saying, “Although if it has to be someone, I’m very happy for it to be Pedro Pascal.”
“The Fantastic Four: First Steps” is slated for release on July 25th, and will feature Pascal alongside Vanessa Kirby as Susan Storm (Invisible Woman), Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm (Human Torch), and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm (The Thing). Julia Garner will play Silver Surfer, and Ralph Ineson will portray Galactus.
Marvel fans face a longer wait than usual between MCU films after “The Fantastic Four,” as the next installment, “Spider-Man: Brand New Day,” isn’t scheduled until July 31, 2026. This represents the longest gap between MCU releases since 2019-2021. The delay is largely attributed to recent shifts in the release dates for “Avengers: Doomsday,” now slated for December 18, 2026, and “Avengers: Secret Wars,” pushed back to December 17, 2027.
