Pedro Pascal reveals that he had to tone down his 1960s 'mid-Atlantic' accent for Fantastic Four: First Steps

 *Pedro Pascal reveals that he had to tone down his 1960s 'mid-Atlantic' accent for Fantastic Four: First Steps*



Pedro Pascal is all set to make his Marvel debut with The Fantastic Four: First Steps as Mister Fantastic/Reed Richards, the leader of the team. The movie, which is set to kick off the sixth phase of the MCU, will hit the Indian theatres on July 25 in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. 


During the global promotions for the film, Pedro Pascal shared an interesting anecdote. Speaking with Vanity Fair, Pedro said that he gave his 100% while committing to the 1960s accent but the crew kept on pulling him back. , "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." 


Pedro further 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 film also features Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm, Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm, Ralph Ineson as Galactus, and Julia Garner as Silver Surfer.
