Fans are flocking to the internet, eager to know whether Marvel has fired Pedro Pascal. The speculations surfaced following the recent premiere of The Fantastic Four: First Steps, where the actor plays Reed Richards. Ahead of Pascal’s upcoming appearance on Avengers: Doomsday, many believe that it could be the last we see of him as Mister Fantastic.
Here’s everything you need to know about Pascal’s future in the MCU.
Has Pedro Pascal been fired from Marvel after Avengers: Doomsday?
Contrary to popular belief, Marvel has not fired Pedro Pascal.
Rumors of Pascal’s exit from Marvel stemmed from a recent report from Deadline confirming that he has wrapped filming for Avengers: Doomsday. However, the movie is still in production, and it remains undisclosed whether the filming has ended for other cast members as well.
Since Pascal’s scenes have ended filming so quickly, fans have raised concerns about whether his character, Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic, will die in the upcoming movie. This, in turn, has fueled speculation that Marvel has terminated its contract with Pascal.
However, none of the rumors seems to be true. Additionally, neither Pascal nor Marvel has made any official statements regarding the matter.
Pascal’s early exit from Doomsday’s ongoing production could be related to his schedule. Additionally, he is expected to feature in Avengers: Secret Wars in 2027 and potentially the MCU’s sequel to First Steps.
Further, the actor has a string of exciting projects lined up for the future. He is currently in talks to join the cast of popular director Tony Gilroy’s upcoming movie Behemoth!, under Searchlight Pictures. Pascal will also be seen as Din Djarin in the upcoming The Mandalorian and Grogu.
2025 has been a busy year for Pascal after appearing in three notable productions, including The Fantastic Four: First Steps. He also featured in Ari Aster’s latest offering, Eddington, alongside Joaquin Phoenix, and headlined A24’s Materialists with Dakota Johnson and Chris Evans. All three movies were met with critical acclaim and achieved box-office success.
